Each uniform is broken up into individualized player kits with the jersey and shorts included, each listed at a $100 opening bid — and a “priceless” value tag for good measure.
You can find the listings here with the bidding scheduled to close at 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday night.
Net proceeds from the auction will “benefit the Phoenix Suns/Phoenix Mercury Foundation to help fulfill their mission of impacting Arizona youth through basketball and basketball-inspired programs,” the team said in the announcement.
As of the posting of this story, bids had been placed for the TyTy Washington Jr., Collin Gillespie, and Paul Watson kits.
Washington, who had seven points, four rebounds, and two assists (no turnovers) in 21 minutes with the NBA club over the weekend, and Watson are the Valley representatives on the roster.
Monday night’s game against the Clippers will be a rematch from a 124-105 victory on Jan. 31. Washington (22 points) was only outdone in that game by fellow two-way Jalen Bridges (23).
If you would like to see the throwback uniforms in person, tickets for the matchup can be found here.
