Damion Lee Nails Difficult Game-Winner in Season-Opener vs ... (CalBearsMaven)

The former Louisville men's basketball guard lifted the Suns over the Mavericks thanks to an improbable game-winning shot.

He signed two way contracts with Golden State over the next two seasons, before inking a multi-year contract during the 2019-20 season. In 14 games during the 2022 NBA Playoffs, Lee averaged just 1.9 points over 8.3 minutes, though he did set a career playoff-high 10 points in game five of the Western Conference semifinals against the Memphis Grizzlies. His efforts off the bench helped the Suns rally from a 22-point deficit to Luka Doncic and the Mavs. Pinned on the right baseline by Dinwiddie, Lee took an unbalanced jumper while falling to his right over his defender, and drained the go-ahead shot with 9.7 seconds left. After spending the previous four years of his career with the Golden State Warriors playing alongside his brother-in-law in Steph Curry, Lee bet on himself, eventually signing with the Phoenix Suns in free agency. “Ball was in my hands, just go make a play,” Lee said, via the Associated Press.
