Drew Eubanks expected to opt in to return to Suns next season
The Phoenix Suns and Drew Eubanks are on the same page regarding his status with the team. “The full organization wants me back next and I want to be a Phoenix Sun next year,” Eubanks said. Eubanks has a player option for next season as he has until June 29 to exercise it along with Eric Gordon, Josh Okogie and Damion Lee, who missed the entire 2023-24 season with a knee injury. “I’m going to make the best decision for my family and I when the time comes,” Eubanks said.

It’s no news that both Drew Eubanks and Donte DiVincenzo have shown interest in playing for the Italian national team on the road to this summer’s 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, both having discovered their roots belonging to the European country. However, there hasn’t really been an update coming from the Azzurri side until today. Talking to Tuttosport, Gianmarco Pozzecco’s assistant coach and Arizona Wildcats’ coaching staff member Riccardo Fois addressed this topic. “They know we’re interested, and we know they are too. We’re glad for it because it means what we’ve been doing with the [Italian] national team is appealing”, he said about Drew Eubanks and Donte DiVincenzo, whose procedures for getting an Italian passport aren’t yet concluded. -via EuroHoops.net / April 4, 2024
Drew Eubanks is one of the possible names for the future of Italian basketball: the Phoenix Suns center was interviewed by La Gazzetta dello Sport. These are his statements. On the importance he can have in Italy and if he knows any Azzurri: “Yes, Nico Mannion. We often train together in the off-season, he is a great guy. As for the technical talk, to be honest, I wouldn’t know what to answer. I don’t follow FIBA basketball so I have no idea, I would certainly like to be able to play in an Olympics. -via Sportando / March 19, 2024
