Sees five minutes in loss
Brea finished scoreless (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) in five minutes of Saturday's 111-109 preseason loss to the Nets.

Sits out Friday
Brea (thumb) didn't play in Friday's preseason win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
It was reported earlier in the week that Brea was expected to make his preseason debut this weekend, so it looks like the Suns have an eye toward Sunday's meeting with Brooklyn for the rookie second-rounder. Brea is recovering from a thumb sprain, and he could find it difficult to crack Phoenix's Opening Night rotation due to the lack of exhibition reps.

Closing in on preseason debut
Brea (thumb) is expected to make his preseason debut this weekend, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Brea's first appearance could come as early as Friday's preseason tilt against the Nets in China, though the Suns could opt to hold him out until Sunday's meeting with Brooklyn. With Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale healthy, Brea could have a hard time cracking the Opening Night rotation.

ANALYSIS
Brea has scored 15 or more points in two straight Summer League games in Las Vegas. The Kentucky product followed up an incredibly efficient shooting performance against the Wizards on Friday with another strong outing, as he has been consistent with his scoring and has become more of a force on the glass.
Jul 11, 2025
Scores 19 in win
Brea finished with 19 points (7-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and one steal across 23 minutes during Friday's Summer League 103-84 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Brea was incredibly efficient in his first Summer League game in Las Vegas. The second-round draft pick out of Kentucky was red-hot from beyond the arc, hitting four of his five attempts, which matched the four made threes off the bench by teammate Boogie Ellis.

Headed to Phoenix
Brea was selected by the Suns with the No. 41 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
ANALYSIS
The Warriors traded this pick to the Suns, who end up landing Brea. The 6-foot-6 guard is regarded by many as one of the top shooters in the draft class, hitting at a 43.5 percent clip from downtown during his final college season at Kentucky. However, he generally struggles on the defensive end of the court, which could limit his potential at the next level.
