It’s been a tumultuous journey for Frank Kaminsky over the last few years, but what better place for him to try and revitalize his NBA career than the Valley? As Priority Sports announced Thursday morning, Kaminsky has signed a deal to return to the Phoenix Suns. It may only be a training camp invite, per sources, but for a team with an open roster spot, it’s an opportunity for the 31-year-old center to try and reopen the door to the NBA in a place that’s become special to him. “I love it here,” Kaminsky told PHNX Sports. “There’s no other way I can describe it. There’s just such a level of love and comfort that I have a living here, being here. I’ve built a nice community here, have great friends — everything here is set up well for me. And that’s why when the camp deal started getting talked about, it’s the one I wanted, just because I love being here.”

In any case, there’s no better spot to compete for a roster spot than Phoenix in Frank Kaminsky’s mind. He and his wife Ashley Brewer Kaminsky recently moved back to the Valley in August, and over the last few weeks, he’s been getting some run in with the Suns at the Verizon 5G Performance Center. “I had workouts lined up through my agency, a couple of different teams, and Phoenix was the first one I did, obviously, ’cause I’m right here by the practice facility and they’re doing their open gyms and stuff,” Kaminsky explained. “I went in there and started working out and did well, and they started talking about me coming to camp pretty early on in that. And then it got to the point where I just didn’t go to other places, and I just wanted to stay here and do it here.”

When asked about the possibility of representing the Serbian national team, Kaminsky indicated that while it might happen in the future, it isn't a current priority. "Maybe one day. Currently, it is not necessary. We will see what will happen," he said. Kaminsky also highly praised the dedicated Partizan fans, highlighting their passion. "I've never been to a Partizan game, but I watched the footage and saw how tense and crazy it was," the 30-year-old said. "That's my favorite thing about sports, playing in front of a lot of people and crazy fans. So, it's going to be exciting.
