Damion Lee Nails Difficult Game-Winner in Season-Opener vs. Mavericks The former Louisville men’s basketball guard lifted the Suns over the Mavericks thanks to an improbable game-winning shot.
Drains game-winner to end rally Lee amassed 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 107-105 victory over Dallas.
Impact Lee was an integral ingredient in the Suns' late charge, as the team rallied from 22 points down to snag the victory. Lee hit three three-pointers in the fourth quarter and saved the best for last, sinking a jumper with five seconds left off a pass from Devin Booker. Booker's decision to dish the ball to Lee for the final shot is a definite indication of trust in the All-Star. Lee could be set up for a larger role than he had with the Warriors over his four-year tenure in the Bay Area. Chris Paul isn't getting any younger, and Lee looks like the front-runner to back him up.

Starting at San Antonio Lee will start Saturday's game against the Spurs, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Scores 11 off bench Lee had 11 points (5-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block across 28 minutes during Sunday's 109-90 win over the Kings.
Impact When the Warriors are at full strength, Lee has not been a part of the regular rotation of late, but with Klay Thompson resting he had an opportunity to see a significant jump in minutes. Lee is still capable of popping for decent stat lines when the opportunity is there, but he hasn't been much of a factor in season-long formats.

Pops for season-high 22 points Lee ended Wednesday's 118-104 victory over Miami with 22 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 9-9 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 31 minutes.
Impact Lee stepped things up on the offensive end, going off for a season-high 22 points. With both Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson on the sideline, Lee made the most of his opportunity. While he can be a sneaky source of points when afforded sufficient playing time, his role is far too inconsistent at the present time. Looking ahead, he is only a name to monitor in deeper formats.
