Amir Coffey is the newest addition to the Phoenix Suns, and he's ready to make his mark on the team. With his impressive basketball career, Coffey has proven himself to be a valuable asset to any team. He's a 6-foot-7 3-and-D wing who has averaged 6.3 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game on 45.5% shooting from the field, and a respectable 38.1% from three in his NBA career. Coffey has played for the Los Angeles Clippers for the first six years of his career, where he's seen multiple iterations of the Suns and has been bounced out of the playoffs by the Suns twice. He's also played against the Suns 18 times total. Coffey has basketball in his blood, with his two older sisters playing college basketball at Marist and Northwestern, and his sister Nia playing in the WNBA. His father played at the University of Minnesota and played for the Minnesota Timberwolves in the NBA. Coffey followed in his father’s footsteps and was a three-year starter in college for the Minnesota Golden Gophers. In his junior year, he averaged 16.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.2 assists and was named Third Team All-Big Ten. Coffey signed with the Clippers out of college but played sparingly in his first two seasons in the league. Then, in his third season, he had a breakout year, appearing in 69 games, starting 30 games, and averaging 9.0 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.8 assists. Since that season, Coffey’s minutes bounced around depending on the health of Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and other wings ahead of him in the Clippers rotation. In the 2024-25 season, he scored a career high of 9.7 points and shot over 40% from three with the Clippers. Coffey then decided to go to the Bucks this offseason and was in and out of the rotation for Milwaukee this season. Coffey was not sure if he was getting traded at the deadline, but now that he has experienced that for the first time in his career, he is ready to be a Phoenix Sun.
