Phoenix Suns second-year shooting guard Devin Booker picked up the first ejection of his career and was a complete sport about it. The 20-year-old received his second technical foul with 17 seconds remaining in the game, trailing the Denver Nuggets by 16 points. Booker then gave the refs a thumbs up, pointed goodbye to his teammates on […]

When Phoenix Suns point guard Leandro Barbosa took the court Sunday night at Oracle Arena to face the Warriors in Oakland, he could not have been received with more love. The former Golden State player signed with the Suns, his original team going back to the 2003 NBA Draft, during this past offseason. However, the […]

Tyson Chandler has not resumed any basketball activities since the passing of his mother earlier this week, and it appears that won’t end anytime soon. The Phoenix Suns big man has taken a leave of absence after missing the last two games to grieve with his family and friends. The Suns released a statement on Wednesday on […]

Phoenix Suns center Tyson Chandler is a believer in the future of the team. There isn’t a night he won’t give his heart and soul for the team. Ironically he is considered the heart and soul of the Suns, at least according to coach Earl Watson. Recently his mother passed away, which has forced him to miss […]

The Phoenix Suns played a back-to-back set on Tuesday and Wednesday and was noticeably without their starting center, Tyson Chandler. As it turned out, the 32-year-old was in Santa Monica, California to be with his family following the death of his mother, Vernie Re Threadgill. Chandler made a statement that was released by the team on Wednesday […]

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker put on a show once again, dropping a career-high 39 points in a 119-108 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. The 20-year-old phenom was coming of a prior career-high mark of 38 points, leading the Suns to a 112-111 overtime thriller of a win against the New Orleans Pelicans. […]

If you’re not part of the Devin Booker bandwagon, beware… it’s almost full. The 20-year-old had a much-awaited explosive outing, carving up the New Orleans Pelicans for a career-high 38 points in spectacular fashion en route to a 112-111 overtime win. The Phoenix Suns shooting guard had it going on late, when it mattered most, […]

Phoenix Suns coach Earl Watson is sort of an old school guy that is not totally connected with the ways of this new generation. Watson still has his attachments to John Wooden from playing at UCLA if you were to ask him about it. It’s is no surprise that he is not a big fan of […]

The Portland Trail Blazers and Phoenix Suns faced-off on Wednesday night and the game went into overtime. With 6.4 seconds remaining, the Suns inbounded the ball to Eric Bledsoe who had Damian Lillard defending him. He dribbled for a few seconds before stepping back and shot a three-pointer which went in as the game clock expired. […]

Phoenix Suns center Alex Len was one of the only 2013 first round draft picks that did not sign a new contract extension before the league-imposed October 31 deadline. What this means is Len will become a restricted free agent next summer, much earlier than expected, but the Suns still have the last say on […]

Not everything is as bright as the Phoenix Suns‘ young roster is shaping up to be. The evidence was the Suns’ dance squad, where one particular dancer attempted a backflip and fell awkwardly on his face upon landing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWU7TAjQ1ao I’m not sure if there is a better candidate for TNT’s show Shaqtin’ A Fool or MTV’s show Ridiculousness […]

Words are hard. They weren’t any easier on the Phoenix Suns Sunday afternoon game against the Golden State Warriors, as Eric Beldsoe (I told you they were hard…) Bledsoe got his name misspelled on the back of his jersey. Eric Bledsoe's name is spelled wrong. pic.twitter.com/Agy4NucUnR — SM (@ScottMizuno) October 30, 2016 This is hardly […]

Stephen Curry was once again in the middle of another dumb, unnecessary foul against the Phoenix Suns on Sunday. The Golden State Warriors point guard received a pass on the wing from Draymond Green and faked out Brandon Knight as he attempted to close in to his three-point shot. Knight jumped past his left side […]

One last chance to tie the game against the Oklahoma City Thunder in overtime, the Phoenix Suns quickly inbounded the ball to Tyson Chandler, who dished it to Devin Booker. Booker, being the team’s best offensive player, naturally tried scoring once more to send the game into double overtime. However, OKC’s defense rotated well enough to […]

Alleged victim Erik Hood, filed a civil lawsuit against the Morris twins, Marcus and Markieff Morris back in 2015 due to being assaulted by them after a youth basketball game in Phoenix. Hood claims the former Suns players held him down, kicked, punched and chased him along with three of their associates. He is suing […]

The last time the Sacramento Kings had a winning season was 11 years ago during the 2005-2006 campaign, but after winning their season opener against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night, it gave the team more reason to believe that this is the year they can duplicate that feat. Their blowout win was the perfect start they […]

The NBA will tipped off Tuesday with international players making up one-quarter of the league’s active rosters, according to the Associated Press. The association has 113 international players coming from 41 countries and territories around the world out of the total 450 players that make up the league’s roster. The NBA said on Tuesday that the […]

Maybe it shouldn’t have been such a surprise after all. Archie Goodwin made headlines yesterday when he was unexpectedly waived by the Phoenix Suns on the final day to make roster cuts before the start of the regular season. Goodwin is still a young, former first-round pick who has shown promise at times, and despite […]

On a day where tons of players are getting waived by NBA teams, not many saw this one coming. The Phoenix Suns reportedly waived Archie Goodwin, the 6-foot-5, 22-year-old guard who is about to start his fourth season in the NBA. Vertical Sources: Phoenix guard Archie Goodwin has been released and will become a free […]

Halloween is just around the corner and with only a week left to the much-awaited holiday, artist David Rappoccio of UpRoxx has re-worked every NBA logo into a holiday-themed one. There’s also an extra nugget at the bottom of the list for those of you who are nostalgic fans of this league. Check them out and […]

It appears that two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash will be seen in a court once again. However, he won’t be in front of a basketball crowd, but with lawyers, judge, and jury this time. The 42-year-old Canadian filed a civil case against his former business partners to remove his name from 21 Fitness Club, a […]

The annual front office survey is upon us with the start of the regular season only a week away and general managers around the league responded to 48 different questions about the best teams, players, coaches, fans, offseason moves, amongst other topics. They were not allowed to vote for their own team or personnel. Percentages are based on the […]

Widely considered as one of the best in NBA history, the 1996 rookie class saw their last representative in the NBA, hang-up his sneakers for good after last season. Kobe Bryant, who played for 20 stellar seasons and won five championships with the Los Angeles Lakers, became the last man standing from his star-studded batch which is […]

The Phoenix Suns‘ Dragan Bender may still be a rookie in the NBA, but he is not new to basketball as he has been playing professionally since 2013. With that being said, it is expected that he knows how to pass the ball. But during his team’s preseason game against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night, […]

It was just another preseason game on the schedule for the Phoenix Suns and the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night. Preseason games are expected to be a little boring with both teams playing third strings, but this game turned into a very good one. Within 15 games of game action, the Jazz had blown the […]

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Archie Goodwin put the exclamation mark with an emphatic dunk over Shelvin Mack in an impressive 111-110 come-from-behind win against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night. Goodwin scored the last six points for the Suns, determined to find his way to the cup with a dunk, a layup, and this poster-like jam to ultimately […]

A new NBA season will tip off less than three weeks from now on Tuesday, Oct. 25, and with it come the hopes and aspirations of every team in the league. From certain championship hopes out of teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors, to the drive to claim the Eastern Conference crown […]

The toughest decision in head coach Earl Watson‘s short tenure is already paying dividends after Devin Booker‘s 34-point explosion during Friday night’s 115-110 preseason loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. The Phoenix Suns‘ young star turned heads in both sidelines as he haunted the Blazers’ defense with an incredible array of shots from all over the floor. Booker was […]

Brandon Knight‘s move to the bench has stirred up plenty of speculations on his move out of Phoenix. Knight was a starter after being traded by the Milwaukee Bucks in 2015, ultimately forming an explosive backcourt with Eric Bledsoe. The two were starters last season, until Bledsoe suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee […]

While modern programs are tracking more and more advanced stats, the Phoenix Suns plan to incorporate a very simple one into their nightly contests — high fives. The team is taking team chemistry so seriously this year, that they’ve made a point to track how often players congratulate each other on the court or acknowledge each […]

Phoenix Suns guard Brandon Knight is entering new ground as he is set to become a sixth man for the first time on his career. The Kentucky product had started 315 of the 328 games he’d played during his five-year career and with Eric Bledsoe and Devin Booker forming the Suns’ starting backcourt, he’ll be forced into […]

Phoenix Suns head coach Earl Watson was faced with a hard decision. He has three talented guards and two spots to fill – one of them needs to come off the bench, but who? Watson had an established guard in Eric Bledsoe, who has played backup to the likes of Chris Paul. Bledsoe learned his […]

Head coach Earl Watson has put an end to the lingering dilemma that’s surrounded the Phoenix Suns all summer long — what happens once all three guards are healthy? Devin Booker, who started the final 44 games of last season after participating in the All-Star Game Three-Point Contest, will remain as the starting shooting guard alongside […]

One of most colorful and entertaining part of the NBA culture is the rookie initiation. Well, it’s only amusing for everyone, but the rookies themselves. Prior to the Phoenix Suns’ team’s scrimmage, the veterans had something in store for their greenhorn teammates, and also for the 5,000 fans in attendance. https://twitter.com/Suns/status/782320585858699265 Alan Williams was hailed […]

During his heyday, Shawn Marion was one of the best talents in the league. Able to produce excellently on both ends of the floor, “The Matrix” was a key element to the Phoenix Suns’ success in the mid-2000s. His best year with the team was in the 2005-2006 season where he averaged 21.8 points, 11.8 […]

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker was cooking during Friday’s practice, making 19 consecutive corner threes before his first miss. The promising second-year player was smooth from the hot corner, railing shot-after-shot in the most relaxed of ways. Take a look. 59 seconds. 19 consecutive makes. @DevinBook is ready for a new season. #SunsCamp https://t.co/Rsn8mO0vWk […]

Despite their down-year in 2016, the Phoenix Suns found a gem in rookie sensation Devin Booker. After starting the season off on the bench as the third or fourth guard, Booker saw a drastic increase in playing time when Eric Bledsoe missed the second half of the season with a torn meniscus and Brandon Knight […]

Jared Dudley is happy to go back and play for the Phoenix Suns. But he would have also been happy somewhere else. Dudley reportedly made it known to the Boston Celtics this summer that he wanted to sign with them. Boston never contacted him. Via the Boston Herald: Jared Dudley has gone back to Phoenix […]

The festivities leading to the season opener are now underway for most teams, and the Phoenix Suns opted to signal the beginning of their offseason preparations by amping up everyone’s anticipation as they release the first official hype video of the 2016-2017 campaign.
