Bender has played all of his three NBA seasons for the struggling Phoenix Suns. He has appeared in 171 games and started 64 over that span, averaging 20.3 minutes played and 5.3 points per game, with 3.8 rebounds.
The 'Croatian Sensation' stands 7'1" and played basketball in Israel before being drafted by the Suns.
