Retreats to bench Bol isn't starting Thursday's preseason game against the Lakers.
Sniffs double-double Bol notched 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, an assist and a block across 28 minutes in Sunday's 118-114 preseason win over the Nuggets.
Impact Bol hadn't seen the court much during the preseason, but he made his presence felt on both ends of the court in this win. That said, Jusuf Nurkic is entrenched as the Suns' starting center for 2024-25, meaning Bol will have to compete for the backup role with Mason Plumlee, so his fantasy upside will be close to minimal once the regular season begins Oct. 23 against the Clippers.

Starting Sunday Bol will start Sunday's preseason game against the Nuggets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Bol has struggled to produce during preseason action, but he will get an opportunity at a heavier workload Sunday with all of the Sun's starters resting. It remains unlikely he sees a substantial role come the regular season.

Goes 1-of-6 from field in loss Bol finished with two points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3PT), eight rebounds and two assists in 17 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to the Pistons.
Impact Bol struggled from the field in the loss, doing very little to convince the coaching staff that he should be a regular piece in the rotation. Outside of a few very brief flashes, Bol has never been a sustainable asset, be it in reality or fantasy. Barring a miracle, Bol should not be considered in drafts outside of very deep formats.

Logs two minutes in Game 2 loss Bol finished with two rebounds in two minutes during Tuesday's 105-93 loss to Minnesota in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
Impact Bol managed just two minutes during garbage time, continuing his disappointing season. Despite his reputation in many fantasy circles, Bol is simply not that good. At this point, there is no reason to think he will ever be anything more than a per-minute specialist with very little upside when it comes to sustainable playing time.

Impresses from bench with 15 points Bol recorded 15 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 122-101 win over Cleveland.
Impact Bol played despite nursing an ankle injury and logged his second-best total of the season. The 7-2 big man decided to show his range in the win with a season-high three three-pointers. He showed his flair beyond the arc last season with Orlando, and it's an added dimension that Jusuf Nurkic can't provide at the five. Although Bol's evening won't result in a switch for the first unit, Bol's role will likely increase if he stays consistent.

Will play Wednesday Bol (ankle) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Bol will power through the ankle issue, but he's an inconsistent part of the rotation in Phoenix, so he can remain on the waiver wire in most leagues.

Probable for Wednesday Bol is probable for Wednesday's game versus the 76ers with a right ankle sprain, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact This is a new issue for Bol, though it could explain his lack of playing time in recent games. Over his last two outings, Bol played a combined 13 minutes. Therefore, his status for Wednesday won't carry many fantasy implications.

Makes impact in limited action Bol closed Thursday's 120-113 win over the Raptors with 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), eight rebounds and one steal across 16 minutes.
Impact Bol has played double-digit minutes in six of Phoenix's last seven games, averaging 9.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 17.7 minutes during that stretch. The Suns continue to deal with multiple injuries, allowing Bol to handle a consistent bench role, but his fantasy value remains limited.

Solid play off bench Friday Bol ended Friday's 114-110 loss to the Rockets with 25 points (11-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, one block and one steal across 27 minutes.
Impact Bol recorded his first double-double of the season, but he did more than that, as he finished with season-high marks in minutes played, points and rebounds. Drew Eubanks got the start at center with Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) sidelined, but it wouldn't be shocking if Bol is handed a bigger role against the Lakers on Sunday based on how both players performed in this one. However, If Nurkic is able to return against Los Angeles, then Bol would have to remain as a bench alternative.

Back in rotation Sunday Bol logged eight points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds and one steal across 15 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 140-112 win over the Wizards.
Impact Bol had missed 10 straight games with a sore foot before he was cleared to play ahead of Friday's 129-120 loss to the Hawks. Head coach Frank Vogel held Bol out of the rotation for that contest, but the 24-year-old entered Sunday's game ahead of Keita Bates-Diop, who didn't get off the bench 7:41 remained in the fourth quarter. With Bol putting up quality numbers while going a plus-14 during his time on the court, he'll likely remain the primary backup to starting power forward Kevin Durant in Tuesday's matchup with the Bucks.
