Muted production continues
Gillespie ended with five points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 114-110 Play-In Game loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analyse
Gillespie continues to put up underwhelming production, scoring in single digits for the fifth time in his past six appearances. While it has been a breakout season for Gillespie, much of his success came when other players were sidelined. With the team now mostly healthy, he has shifted back to a modest role. During his past six games, Gillespie has barely been a top-300 player, averaging 6.3 points, 1.8 assists and 1.3 three-pointers in just 22.5 minutes per game.

Will play vs. Portland
Gillespie (shoulder) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's Play-In Game against the Trail Blazers.
Analyse
Gillespie took a seat for the final game of the regular season with a shoulder issue, but he'll be ready to roll for Tuesday's matchup. He didn't have much of an impact down the stretch of the regular season, as he averaged 6.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists in his last five showings.

Won't play Sunday
Gillespie (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Thunder.
Analyse
Gillespie will be held out of Sunday's regular-season finale due to a right shoulder contusion. The 26-year-old guard delivered career highs in several categories and will finish the regular season with averages of 12.7 points, 4.6 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 28.5 minutes per game across 80 outings (58 starts). Jamaree Bouyea and Koby Brea will likely see increased playing time for the shorthanded Suns on Sunday.

Iffy to face OKC
Gillespie is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder due to a right shoulder contusion.
Analyse
The shoulder injury is a new concern for Gillespie, who hasn't missed a game since Jan. 27. If he's unable to play in the Suns' regular-season finale, Jamaree Bouyea, Amir Coffey and Koby Brea would be candidates to see increased playing time, as the team could be very thin in the backcourt.

Starting versus Lakers
Gillespie will start in Friday's game against the Lakers.
Analyse
Gillespie is back in the starting lineup after operating from off the bench in the Suns' last three contests. In 57 starts throughout the 2025-26 campaign, the 26-year-old has averaged 13.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 0.1 blocks and 1.3 steals across 29.9 minutes.
