What happened: Phoenix has added Koa Peat, introducing the Arizona native as the newest member of the Suns. The hometown forward joins the franchise as it reshapes its roster heading into the 2026-27 season.

Why it matters: Adding a local product gives Phoenix a young piece to build around at a pivotal point in the team's reset. Phoenix had been working to move into the first round to land Peat, and securing him follows through on that plan.
