The Suns plan to sign veteran guard Terrence Ross after he finalizes a contract buyout with the Magic, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
Phoenix was among a few franchises, including the Mavericks, that had expressed interest in Ross after Wojnarowski first reported that the 32-year-old was seeking a buyout from Orlando. Wojnarowski went as far as to call Dallas the “frontrunner” to land Ross, but Suns owner Mat Ishbia and coach Monty Williams reportedly made a push for the veteran Saturday and were successful.
Ross has yet to officially receive his buyout from the Magic, but so long as he’s able to do so by March 1, he can become eligible for Phoenix’s playoff roster.
