Lee finished Friday's 135-127 overtime victory over Utah with two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound across five minutes.
Lee suited up for just the 14th time all season, all have which have yielded next to nothing from a production standpoint. He has scored a total of 44 points across those 14 games, so there is no indication that this was anything more than a cameo appearance.

Head coach Mike Budenholzer said Monday that Lee is dealing with a hamstring issue but is close to returning, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Lee was held out of the Suns' preseason finale against the Lakers on Thursday.

Lee missed the entire 2023-24 campaign while recovering from meniscus surgery, and he's expected to come off the bench to provide depth on the wing.

Suns' Damion Lee: Fully available for start of camp
Lee (knee) said Monday that he will be fully available for Tuesday's practice session, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Lee missed the entire 2023-24 campaign due to meniscus surgery but rejoined the Suns on a one-year deal in early July. The 31-year-old carved out a decent role during his first year with Phoenix in 2022-23, averaging 8.2 points and 3.0 rebounds in 20.4 minutes per game. Assuming he doesn't face any setbacks during camp, it wouldn't be surprising to see him earn a role in the rotation once again this year.

Suns' Damion Lee: Remains out to start postseason
Coach Frank Vogel said Friday that Lee (knee) remains out to start the postseason, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Suns' Damion Lee: Hopes to return in postseason
Coach Frank Vogel said Wednesday that Lee (knee) has done some light shooting, and while he isn't expected to return before the end of the regular season, the Suns hope to have him back at some point in the playoffs, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Lee will likely miss the entire 2023-24 regular season while he completes his recovery from the surgery he underwent in October to repair a torn meniscus. Though he appears to be close to a return and may make it back for the playoffs, Lee isn't a sure bet to factor into Phoenix's rotation, given his long layoff along with the fact that he was only a minor contributor off the Suns bench when he was healthy in 2022-23.
