Ex-EuroLeague MVP Nigel Hayes-Davis Officially Joins Phoenix Suns

News summary

Nigel Hayes-Davis, a former University of Wisconsin standout and EuroLeague star, has officially signed a one-year deal with the Phoenix Suns, marking his return to the NBA for the first time since the 2017-18 season. Hayes-Davis, standing 6-foot-8 and weighing 235 pounds, excelled overseas with Fenerbahce Istanbul, earning back-to-back All-EuroLeague First Team honors and being named the EuroLeague Final Four MVP after leading the team to a championship. He holds the EuroLeague single-game scoring record with 50 points scored in March 2024 and contributed to Turkish League and Turkish Cup titles in 2024 and 2025.

This signing reflects the Suns' efforts to rebuild following major offseason moves including new management and the departures of key players Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant.
