Active at camp Goodwin (knee) has been active at training camp.

Impact The Suns have not mentioned the knee issue that sidelined Goodwin during the Summer League. During Media Day, president of basketball operations James Jones mentioned Goodwin as one of the players who could get some reps at point guard this season.

Still out Saturday Goodwin (knee) won't play in Saturday's Summer League game against the Grizzlies, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Goodwin will end his 2023 Summer League campaign with just one game played, as the 24-year-old was hampered by left knee soreness throughout the tournament. However, after a strong 2022-23 season in Washington, Goodwin should be a fringe rotation piece for the Suns this year.

Out again Tuesday Goodwin (knee) will not play in Tuesday's Summer League game against the Pelicans, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Goodwin doesn't have much to prove in the Summer League after showing a lot of promise with the Wizards in 2022-23. Hopefully the Suns are just managing the soreness in his knee. Goodwin's next chance to play is July 14 against the Jazz.

Headed to Phoenix The Wizards are trading Goodwin and Bradley Beal in exchange for Landry Shamet, Chris Paul, multiple second-round picks and multiple pick swaps, Josh Robbins of The Athletic report...

Impact Goodwin is likely to be considered a toss-in in this blockbuster trade, but he could prove valuable to Phoenix as a bench piece. In Goodwin, the Suns are getting a potential rotation piece under contract for only $1.9 million next season, plus a team option for 2024-25. In his second year as a pro, he averaged 6.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 17.8 minutes per game across 62 contests.

Jordan Goodwin puts up career high 22 points vs Houston Rockets

APRIL 9, 2023 • YOUTUBE

Brings four steals in starting role Goodwin tallied 10 points (4-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, four steals, two rebounds and one block across 29 minutes in Wednesday's 134-116 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Though he's started in consecutive games while top point guards Monte Morris (ankle) and Delon Wright (illness) have sat out along with other higher-usage players like Bradley Beal (knee), Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Kyle Kuzma (ankle), Goodwin hasn't stepped in to fill the scoring void in any sort of major way. Despite taking on 28- and 29-minute workloads in the two starts, Goodwin has barely cleared double digits in the scoring column on both occasions while shooting a collective 38.5 percent from the field. Fortunately for those that streamed him into fantasy lineups, Goodwin hasn't been a total zero, as he's racked up 15 assists between the two contests, and he came up big in the defensive categories Wednesday.

Produces off bench Goodwin recorded 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Sunday's 118-109 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Goodwin had a bigger opportunity Sunday, as the Wizards sat Kristaps Porzingis (illness), Bradley Beal (knee), Monte Morris (ankle) and Kyle Kuzma (ankle). Despite coming off the bench, the second-year guard tied for the team-lead in rebounds and had the second most assists. The Wizards may have role players stepping into bigger roles for the rest of the season, but Goodwin might not get enough playing time to be a difference maker in fantasy.

Puts up solid fantasy line Goodwin ended Friday's 136-124 victory over the Spurs with 17 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals over 31 minutes.

Impact The Wizards put up 136 points against the Spurs for their third-highest scoring game of the season. Goodwin has shown plenty of flashes this season when he gets opportunities, and he got a big one Friday as he cleared 30 minutes for the first time since Dec. 12. He could be an intriguing fantasy pickup down the stretch if Bradley Beal (knee) and Kyle Kuzma (ankle) miss additional time.

MARCH 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets double-digit minutes again Goodwin finished Wednesday's 118-104 loss to the Nuggets with 12 points (5-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 17 minutes.

Impact Following a six-game stretch earlier this month in which he sat out twice in coach's decisions and logged between four and 13 minutes over his four appearances, Goodwin looked like a fringy member of head coach Wes Unseld Jr.'s rotation. However, the situation has changed for Goodwin over the last two games, as he's taken on minutes loads in the teens while going an impressive 7-for-12 from the field between those contests. The absence of Kyle Kuzma (ankle) for the past two contests and Bradley Beal (knee) for Wednesday's game may have played a factor in Goodwin's boosted playing time, so his role will be keeping an eye on once the Wizards are back to full strength.

Multi-year deal with Washington The Wizards signed Goodwin to a multi-year deal Wednesday.

Impact Goodwin opened the season on a two-way deal but quickly emerged as a rotational piece for Washington and is averaging 6.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 steals and 0.5 blocks in 18.1 minutes across 40 NBA appearances. With the Wizards back to full strength, Goodwin has fallen out of the rotation of late, appearing in just five of the team's past 14 contests. However, the Wizards no longer need to worry about exceeding the 50-game limit at the NBA level that comes with a two-way deal, so Goodwin could work his way back into the rotation behind the likes of Monte Morris, Delon Wright and Kendrick Nunn. Goodwin's new deal is fully guaranteed for the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign, partially guaranteed next season and has a team option for 2024-25, per Josh Robbins of The Athletic.

FEBRUARY 21, 2023 • WASHINGTONPOST.COM

Upgraded to standard deal The Wizards plan to convert Goodwin's two-way contract into a standard NBA deal Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Despite being on a two-way deal, Goodwin emerged as a rotational piece for Washington earlier this season and is averaging 6.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.5 blocks in 18.1 minutes per game across 40 appearances with the NBA team. With the Wizards backcourt having returned to full strength of late, Goodwin has fallen out of the rotation, appearing in just five of the team's past 14 contests. However, Washington no longer needs to worry about exceeding the 50-game limit at the NBA level that comes with players on a two-way deal, so Goodwin could start to see more playing time again behind the likes of Monte Morris, Delon Wright and Kendrick Nunn.

FEBRUARY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Slides to second unit Goodwin will come off the bench for Monday's matchup with the Warriors, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Goodwin will return to the second unit Monday after receiving a spot start in place of Monte Morris (hamstring) last time out. With Morris back and Bradley Beal (hamstring) still sidelined, Goodwin should continue to see significant action off the bench.

JANUARY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in spot start Friday Goodwin logged five points (2-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Friday's 112-108 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Goodwin was inserted into the starting lineup Friday, replacing Monte Morris, who was ruled out due to a hamstring issue. Despite the increase in role, Goodwin failed to produce, ending the night with a team-worst minus-20 plus/minus. There is no word on whether Morris will miss additional time, but if that is the case, Goodwin could very well stick in the opening unit. With that said, managers may be better off targeting Delon Wright, who profiles as a better per-minute option thanks to his ability to contribute across multiple categories.

Starting Friday Goodwin will start Friday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Monte Morris has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, allowing Goodwin to enter the starting five for the fourth time this season. Across his previous three starts, the two-way guard has averaged 12.0 points, 5.3 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 3.0 steals in 33.0 minutes per game.

Lackluster results in win Goodwin produced two points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and three rebounds in 12 minutes during Tuesday's 113-110 victory over the Suns.

Impact Goodwin remained in a bench role for a fourth consecutive game Tuesday, and he was unable to generate much production in any categories while playing just 12 minutes. Over his last four appearances, he's averaged 7.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 18.5 minutes per game.

DECEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench Goodwin isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's matchup with the Nuggets.

Impact Monte Morris' return to the lineup Wednesday will move Goodwin back to his bench role. Goodwin averaged 14.0 points, 6.5 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 37.0 minutes over his past two starts.

DECEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Posts another strong showing Goodwin ended Saturday's 114-107 loss to the Clippers with 17 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, six assists and six steals over 38 minutes.

Impact Goodwin got off to a slow start in this one by scoring only two points in the first quarter, but he knocked down three of seven attempts from the field in the second period and ultimately turned in a solid scoring night. After averaging 5.0 points through his first three games in December, Goodwin has responded by pouring in 19 and 17 points in his last two matchups, respectively.

Starting with Morris out Goodwin will start Saturday's game against the Clippers, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Wizards are thin Saturday, as Bradley Beal (hamstring), Will Barton (foot), Monte Morris (groin), Rui Hachimura (ankle) and Delon Wright (hamstring) are sidelined. Goodwin will make the second start of his career Saturday. Per 36 minutes, he's averaging 12.4 points, 6.9 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.2 blocks.

DECEMBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores career-high 19 points Goodwin had 19 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and five steals across 34 minutes during Friday's 121-111 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Goodwin scored eight of his 19 points in the nine fourth-quarter minutes. It was a career night for the 24-year-old as he set career highs in scoring and minutes played. The strong performance ended a four-game skid during which he went 7-for-25 from the field and scored a combined 20 points. Over the last 16 games, he's seen an increased role with Washington and is averaging 23.1 minutes per contest in that span.

DECEMBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Low minutes in loss Goodwin notched three points (1-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes during Friday's 117-116 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Goodwin hit his only shot toward the end of the third quarter and then didn't see the floor at all in the fourth. Coach Steve Clifford went with a bigger lineup and stuck with it as the unit mounted a huge comeback. This is the second straight game that Goodwin saw less than 20 minutes, which might be something to monitor.
