Hill's coming return muddles Suns' chemistry

On its surface, the situation seems, well, splendid. According to reports, Grant Hill has been cleared to resume playing duties for the Phoenix Suns. The veteran small forward has been out of the lineup since March 25, due to a meniscus tear in his right knee that required surgery.

If Grant Hill is done for season with knee surgery, so are Suns playoff hopes
The Phoenix Suns might as well kiss any glimpse of hope of securing that last playoff spot out West good-bye.

I have found the Fountain of Youth!
It has to be in Phoenix, right? How else can you explain Grant Hill? A guy who spent most of his 6 seasons in Orlando out with ankle injuries starts playing for the Suns and suddenly he’s almost indestructible and playing like he just got out of college.

Grant Hill's impact on NBA is lasting
MIAMI - When LeBron James was growing up and Grant Hill played at Duke, James wasn't a fan.
"No one liked Duke," James said.
But after Hill entered the NBA in 1994 and joined the Detroit Pistons, it became much cooler in his Akron, Ohio, neighborhood to dig him. And James went all out.
"I had his shoes when I was younger," James said. "I had trading...

Wolves scorched by veteran Suns like Hill
In the battle of age versus exhaustion, the old men had the edge on Thursday night in Phoenix, as the Suns pulled ahead in the second half to beat the Timberwolves, 104-95.
It was one of those results you could see coming for weeks, and that almost made it worse. It was the final game of a back-to-back-to-back for the Timberwolves and the Suns' first game since before the All...

Hill's shutdown skills await toughest test yet
Over the past week, Grant Hill has been asked to do quite a bit, as he's had to guard Tyreke Evans, Monta Ellis and Joe Johnson. On all three occasions, the 39-year-old Suns forward rose to the occasion and shut down his man.
