What happened: Phoenix signed Stockton to a training camp contract Friday and waived him later the same day. The 35-year-old guard last appeared in an NBA game with the Utah Jazz during the 2018 Western Conference semifinals. Stockton spent the 2024-25 season with Phoenix's G League affiliate after a long run across the NBA G League and overseas.

Why it matters: The move points Stockton back toward a likely G League role rather than a spot on Phoenix's opening-night roster. It also closes out a short-lived camp look one day after the Suns signed Stockton to a training camp deal, as the franchise continues shaping its back-end roster for 2026-27.

What to watch: Phoenix's next camp decisions will determine whether Stockton returns to the organization through its G League pipeline this fall. The Suns' remaining roster moves now shift to the rest of camp competition.
