The Suns have invited guard Zabian Dowdell to training camp.

Dowdell was bound for Phoenix's training camp last season until a groin strain sidelined him for three months.

"It was a tough year mentally to fight through that," said Dowdell, who played in Spain and the D-League. "I feel like I'm back to where I was. I feel like I have my burst back."

Dowdell will compete with rookie combo guard Matt Janning for the team's last roster spot.
