The assignment is the record 172nd of the 2012-13 NBA and NBA D-League seasons while Garrett is one of a record 56 NBA players to have been assigned to the NBA D-League this season. Garrett (6-4, 190, Iowa State) has appeared in 18 games for the Suns this season, averaging 2.2 points, 1.6 assists and 7.5 minutes and returns to the Jam following an assignment to the team in January.
