Western Conference rivals clash for the third time this month when Phoenix hosts the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday. The Suns split the first two games with the Lakers, winning 125-108 in Los Angeles on Dec.
PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns will look to build momentum on Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Lakers, who will be without one of their top offensive producers.
While Jalen Green “continues to make good progress” in his recovery from strained right hamstring, he will be out at least two-to-three more weeks, according to Suns, who announced that the fifth-year guard will be checked out again at that point (Twitter link via Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic).
Christmas and the NBA go hand-in-hand. The day serves for the top hoops league in the world, like Thanksgiving for the NFL. However, while the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys are perpetual Thanksgiving participants, the NBA has mixed up the matchups and the teams throughout the years.
SCOTTSDALE– Perhaps only the Phoenix Suns have a problem with NBA refs, or it could be the entire association. They’ve had a myriad of instances where Devin Booker has questioned the final two minutes of the team’s respective games.
The Phoenix Suns jumped out to an 11-6 record earlier in the year but have fallen closer to .500 with a 15-13 record heading into tomorrow night's marquee matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers at Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix.
The return of Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green appears to be nearing. Landing in the desert after being traded from the Houston Rockets in the Kevin Durant trade, Green's played just five quarters of basketball thanks to a series of hamstring injuries that first began in training camp.
There is no debate here. Collin Gillespie has outplayed his contract. He has forced his way into the conversation of “where this team would even be without him?”.
The Phoenix Suns took a different approach to roster construction this season with only one top heavy contract in Devin Booker after moving on from Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal this summer.
Just two games this week, the Phoenix Suns split their two games with the Golden State Warriors, winning on Thursday at home and losing on Saturday on the road.
The NBA's Last Two-Minute Report revealed an incorrect call in the final moments of the Phoenix Suns' eventual loss to the Golden State Warriors. Phoenix, down by one point, hoped to foul Golden State and send them to the free throw line in hopes of buying time to get a potential game-tying shot off on the other end.
Week 9 of the NBA season is in the books. We are two months in, and we have officially passed the last light scheduling week until the All-Star break. The real grind is about to start, even if a decent chunk of the country still thinks the season begins on Christmas Day.
The All-Star Game is two months away. It will be played on February 15 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, and there is a real chance that the Los Angeles Clippers will not have a single representative.
Although there have been no trades so far this season, it is officially trade season in the NBA leading up to the Feb. 5 trade deadline. Before the year, it was thought the Phoenix Suns would most likely be sellers during the season given that they had really low preseason expectations.
It's never too early to start thinking about trades, especially in the world of the NBA. For the Phoenix Suns, there are reasons to both be eager and to avoid pursuing trades at the deadline this year.
The Phoenix Suns are back home after fumbling a Saturday night matchup against the Golden State Warriors. The Suns found themselves up early -- partly thanks to the ejection of Draymond Green in the first half -- though the Warriors dug deep and emerged from Chase Center with a 119-116 win over Phoenix.
Losses like the one against Golden State last night are frustrating because they shine a bright light on a real Suns issue. Phoenix has grit. They play connected basketball.
SAN FRANCISCO – The respect and admiration that Suns star Devin Booker and Warriors great Steph Curry have for each other is apparent, though Booker recognized how one of his idols has become so much more than that.
The Phoenix Suns are 15-12 on the season and sit in seventh place in the Western Conference. Early on in the season, the team is seemingly playing above expectations, and Kendrick Perkins credits Dillon Brooks for the team remaining competitive.
A former Phoenix Suns coach details about stopping Robert Sarver from making the biggest mistake in the franchise’s history. Earl Watson, who was the Suns coach from 2015-2017, appeared on the Hear District podcast, with Marques Johnson and Kris Johnson.
Dillon Brooks went after yet another NBA superstar this week. Brooks and the Phoenix Suns faced off on Thursday against Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors.
The Suns and Raptors have at least kicked the tires on a small deal, but nothing appears close. Gerald Bourguet of Suns After Dark reports that Phoenix and Toronto discussed a trade framework that would have sent center Nick Richards to the Raptors in exchange for Ochai Agbaji and a second-round pick.
Dillon Brooks has had an intense rivalry with LeBron James since 2023. Unfortunately for him, the rivalry often ends with Brooks getting ejected while his team loses.
