The Phoenix Suns face a very difficult challenge to close out a three-game homestand tonight ahead of a long six-game road trip. Phoenix (36-27) will be taking on the red-hot Charlotte Hornets (32-32), who have won 10 road games in a row dating back to Jan.
The Suns at the trade deadline had one goal in mind: to avoid the luxury tax line. This was a movement set by many teams in the league, and the Suns were able to do so.
PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns and Minnesota Timberwolves have intertwined stories over the past several seasons, with another chapter written by forward Dillon Brooks.
Heroes run the NBA, but every story also needs a villain. For some franchises, it's a particularly hated opponent, but every now and then, it's one of their own.
PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns will close out a three-game homestand Sunday night against the Charlotte Hornets, who have emerged as one of the NBA’s hottest teams in recent weeks.
The Phoenix Suns play host to the Charlotte Hornets today, a crew that's really turned things around as of late. The Hornets have won their last 16-of-20 games entering Sunday's 7:00 PM PST tip at Mortgage Matchup Center.
Going into the week, there was some uncertainty revolving around the Phoenix Suns’ starting wings as Dillon Brooks remains out. With Devin Booker returning from injury, Jalen Green or Ryan Dunn was destined for the bench.
PHOENIX — Khaman Maluach might just be on the way. The Phoenix Suns are missing starting center Mark Williams for the next two-to-three weeks with a foot injury, propping up Maluach and fellow backup Oso Ighodaro to more minutes in the mean time.
Basketball has changed so, so much since it was first played in the late 1800s. The NBA has a lot to do with this, and there are even a handful of players who can be credited with influencing significant shifts on their own.
The Phoenix Suns were adamant Dillon Brooks' arrest on Friday morning wouldn't distract nor deter them ahead of their battle against the New Orleans Pelicans.
The discourse surrounding Jalen Green's tenure with the Phoenix Suns has been anything but positive as of late. Green's struggles as Phoenix's top scoring option have been well documented through recent weeks.
Devin Booker scored 32 points, Jalen Green added 25 and the host Phoenix Suns nearly squandered a 14-point fourth-quarter lead before holding off the New Orleans Pelicans 118-116 on Friday.
With the Phoenix Suns just two games back from the sixth-seeded Lakers, every game matters as the playoffs loom on the horizon. Unfortunately for Phoenix, their latest setback could have major implications for their title odds, as it will sideline Mark Williams for at least two to three weeks.
The Phoenix Suns will be without starting center Mark Williams for the foreseeable future. The team announced Thursday that Williams has been diagnosed with a stress reaction in the third metatarsal of his left foot.
The return of All-Star guard Devin Booker brings the Phoenix Suns as close to whole as they are likely to be down the stretch, and barring further injuries should finally give them a chance to take a good look at their projected starting backcourt of Booker and Jalen Green.
