Phoenix Suns add training camp invites Frank Jackson, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot

Two weeks ago, Phoenix Suns General Manager James Jones said he "may add a couple more guys" for training camp.

"Always in evaluation mode," Jones said. "Always looking. Right now, we’re at 16 guys (14 standard, two two-way). There’s a chance I may add a couple more guys for training camp, but I think we’re close to the end of where we’ll be as far as our training camp roster goes.”

Enter Frank Jackson and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot.

The Suns officially signed those two Saturday as training camp invites. 

Jackson and Luwawu-Cabarrot won't count against Phoenix's 15-man standard roster.

So the Suns still have a roster spot left as training camp begins Tuesday.

Jackson averaged a career-best 10.6 points in 53 games with the Pistons last season. Averaging 8.5 points in his four seasons, the 6-3 guard started his NBA career New Orleans and spent the last two in Detroit.

Luwawu-Cabarrot started 18 games for the Hawks last season. A six-year NBA veteran, the 6-foot-7 forward averaged 4.4 points in his one season with Atlanta.

From France, Luwawu-Cabarrot has played for five NBA teams — Philadelphia, Oklahoma City, Chicago, Brooklyn and Atlanta.
