Thankfully, it sounds like that number could be set to […]

So much for all the talk about Kevin Durant having already mentally checked out amid a frustrating start to the 2023-24 NBA season by the Phoenix Suns. On Wednesday, the former league Most Valuable Player and future Hall of Famer dropped a performance that reminded everyone that when he’s on, there is not a human […]

The Phoenix Suns haven’t quite lived up to their potential so far this season, but Wednesday’s first half performance vs. the Houston Rockets is giving fans hope.

The Phoenix Suns began an organizational makeover when they traded Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson for Kevin Durant at last year’s deadline.

The Brooklyn Nets made a bet against the Phoenix Suns’ future when they traded Kevin Durant at last year’s deadline. General manager Sean Marks acquired Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, unprotected first-round picks in 2025, 2027 and 2029, and an unprotected first-round pick swap in 2028. While that bet is still in its infancy, Brooklyn appears […]

The Phoenix Suns are stacked with great talent, but it will take more than that for them to win the NBA title.

Along the way, though, Grant Williams and Devin Booker reignited their beef with a shoving match […]

PHOENIX — It seemed when the Suns set championship expectations in the summer, there would be a time to build continuity. But 29 games into the team’s season in which it is expected to be the best team in the league at the end of the season, the Suns have given no reason to believe […]

The Phoenix Suns went on an overhaul in the offseason as they let go of Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton to add a myriad of role players like Eric Gordon, Jusuf Nurkic and Grayson Allen, and star guard Bradley Beal. It was a decision questioned by a ton of pundits because the Suns were less […]

A lot of NBA franchises never escape rumors of relocation. It was the Dallas Mavericks moving to Las Vegas first after Mark Cuban’s set of business moves. It never happened. Now, it is the Washington Wizards that have gotten involved and it might be a move to Virginia. This may hold more water than others […]

Phoenix Suns forward Udoka Azubuike excited Kevin Durant enough for him to leap out of his seat and pump his fist. Then, Durant received a technical foul for walking on the court.

Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic and Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker have a well-documented rivalry. However, Doncic clarified that it’s not something born out of hate but rather competitiveness.
