Jimmer Update

by in Jimmer | Leave a comment

jim head shotThe Phoenix Suns Jimmer Fredette enjoyed his best game since returning to the NBA on Wednesday night in the Suns 118-97 loss to Utah.

Fredette played 22 minutes scoring 10 points on 5 of 11 from the floor.  The Glens Falls native added a pair of steals and an assist and rebound in his most minutes played since joining the Suns.

In four games of action since signing with Phoenix two weeks ago, Jimmer is averaging 11.5 minutes and 5.5 points on 32% shooting from the floor.

With the Suns leading scorer Devon Booker out for the remainder of the year, Fredette should see more minutes in the three games remaining for Phoenix.
