This Phoenix Suns team continues to punch above its weight class, thanks in large part to the power of friendship and good vibes. Despite missing key guys like Grayson Allen and Jalen Green, as well as missing Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks towards the end of the game after fouling out, the Suns somehow found […]

A team-building exercise unlike any other: the Phoenix Suns took their off day to celebrate Jalen Green’s high school jersey retirement ceremony in Fresno, California. He played at San Joaquin Memorial in Fresno for the first three years of his high school career. There, he developed into one of the most prolific athletes and players […]

Was a 9-6 start for the Phoenix Suns on anyone’s radar? To the outsiders and media, likely not, but don’t tell that to center Mark Williams. The latter has been one of the main cogs for Phoenix. Even though Williams has had his minutes monitored by the Suns, he has been the defensive anchor and […]

Phoenix Suns head coach Jordan Ott earned his first Valley moment in the team’s first win since parting ways with Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal. It followed a 116-113 overtime win against the Los Angeles Clippers in the Suns’ head coach’s debut, offering a glimmer of hope after a disappointing era marked by hollow results […]

Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker credited Dillon Brooks with helping establish the team’s early-season identity following a 127–110 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night. Speaking to the NBC broadcast crew after the victory, Booker explained to Hall of Famer Tracy McGrady what Brooks has brought to Phoenix during the franchise’s period of […]

Nearly nine months ago, Devin Booker broke the Phoenix Suns’ all-time franchise scoring record against the Portland Trail Blazers. It took place in Portland and received quite the applause from the opposing crowd. During Tuesday’s shootaround, Booker had the chance to reflect on that milestone. “(Blazers fans) gave me an ovation. Definitely didn’t have to […]

The Phoenix Suns have won four of their last five games and will now look to return to winning ways when they take on the Portland Trail Blazers at Moda Center in Portland on Tuesday. Up 8-6 for the season, Devin Booker and co. take on a team that has struggled thus far. The Trail […]

PHOENIX– No Grayson Allen and no Jalen Green, but an elevated performance from Dillon Brooks? It was still a problem for the Phoenix Suns, who fell to the Atlanta Hawks, 124-122, on Sunday. While one of the stories was the battle between Suns head coach Jordan Ott and Hawks head coach Quin Snyder, Phoenix’s bread […]

PHOENIX– Two rooms and a hallway apart were Phoenix Suns head coach Jordan Ott and Atlanta Hawks head coach Quin Snyder. However, their respect for one another started way before Sunday’s game. It started in Atlanta, where both were assistant coaches, studying film and how to break down particular coverages on offense and defense. Fast […]

The injury bug continues to bite the Phoenix Suns. When the Suns lost Grayson Allen in Thursday’s game, the right quad injury came out of nowhere. The official report is a right quad contusion, according to AZCentral’s Duane Rankin. It occurred when Allen appeared to bump knees or legs with an Indiana Pacers player. He […]

On Thursday, the Phoenix Suns dominated the Indiana Pacers with a 133-98 victory. It was during that game that Oso Ighodaro scored 17 points and grabbed seven rebounds. In the process, Ighodaro etched his name into greatness. Altogether, Ighodaro equaled the third-highest single-game +/- in NBA history at +52. The player with the highest +/- […]

PHOENIX– A new rendition of “The Valley” court might’ve signaled a formerly great time for the Phoenix Suns, but Thursday night showed the team’s true identity under head coach Jordan Ott. The tenacity, grit, and willingness to not back down played a pivotal role in the 133-98 win over the Indiana Pacers. Even though Grayson […]

The Phoenix Suns are on a five-game winning streak, and they just defeated the Indiana Pacers in a convincing fashion. They’ve been clicking on all levels, and one of the reasons for their current spark has been the play of Dillon Brooks, who is making an impact on both sides of the ball. Brooks is […]

Grayson Allen left Thursday night’s game against the Indiana Pacers after colliding with a defender and was ruled out with a right quad contusion, Suns reporter Amanda Pflugrad said. The veteran guard briefly headed to the locker room and did not return, leaving Phoenix to finish the second quarter without one of its primary scorers.  […]

Ever since the beginning of the 2025-26 NBA season, one question about Mark Williams continues to be the main emphasis for the Phoenix. When he’s been on the court, he’s shown flashes of being a great center with his rim protection, paint presence, athleticism and enthusiasm. Although Suns head coach Jordan Ott laid out a […]

The Phoenix Suns have been one of the surprise teams of the NBA so far this year, currently sitting at 6-5 despite being projected by many to be among the league’s worst teams this year. On Monday evening, the Suns got 42 points from Grayson Allen in a blowout win over the New Orleans Pelicans […]

PHOENIX– Grayson Allen might be best known for being the Phoenix Suns’ 3-point sniper. After all, Allen did break the Suns franchise record with 10 made threes in Monday’s 121-98 win over the New Orleans Pelicans. Even though he’s had career years shooting from beyond the arc in the Valley of the Sun, he’s taken […]

On paper, the 2025-26 Phoenix Suns roster is a bit less talented than last year’s squad, mostly due to the departure of future Hall of Famer Kevin Durant. Making matters worse, the main piece the Suns got in the Durant trade, Jalen Green, re-aggravated his hamstring injury. But this Suns team has been playing enjoyable […]

What was supposed to be a dynamic backcourt duo could be short-lived, thanks to another Jalen Green hamstring injury. When the newest member of the Phoenix Suns played alongside Devin Booker, it felt like a match made in heaven. The latter is a savant of getting to his spot and allowing the game to come […]

PHOENIX– If you had told Ryan Dunn he would start 44 of his 74 games with the Phoenix Suns during his rookie season, he’d likely be honored and grateful, but not exactly surprised. Playing alongside Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and Kevin Durant isn’t for the faint of heart. Competing with potential Hall of Famers and […]

After Jalen Green missed the last eight games with a hamstring injury, the Phoenix Suns star guard exited the game with the same injury. He grabbed his right hamstring during the second quarter against the Los Angeles Clippers. He went for a drive, got by James Harden, and made a pass to Ryan Dunn, who […]

The Phoenix Suns are set to play the Los Angeles Clippers on the road in a Saturday night clash. While LA will be without players such as Kawhi Leonard and Jordan Miller due to injury concerns, the Suns have some questions of their own. Dillons Brooks is one of three players listed on the team’s […]

Jalen Green torched the LA Clippers for 29 points in his Phoenix Suns debut on November 6, setting a franchise record with six three-pointers in his first game. The performance came after the 23-year-old guard broke from his usual pregame routine. In a postgame interview, Green revealed he broke from his usual preparation because he […]

PHOENIX — Jalen Green’s debut for the Phoenix Suns appears to be well worth the wait for the team and the fanbase. Weeks prior, it wasn’t like that. When the team took off for its preseason trip to China, Green suffered a hamstring injury that would keep him out until the season opener. Even when […]

Jalen Green made his much-anticipated debut for the Phoenix Suns on Thursday as they hosted the Los Angeles Clippers at the Mortgage Matchup Center. Green was acquired by the Suns, along with Dillon Brooks, Khaman Maluach, and Rasheer Fleming, in a seven-team deal that sent Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets in the offseason. The […]

The Los Angeles Clippers visit the Phoenix Suns on Thursday. Jalen Green is on the injury report and is listed as probable. Green is dealing with a right hamstring strain that has forced the Suns guard to miss the start of the regular season. Here’s everything we know about Jalen Green’s injury and his playing […]

It’s not an NBA game if Dillon Brooks is not involved in any shape or form—even if he’s wearing street clothes. The Phoenix Suns visited the Golden State Warriors at Chase Center on Tuesday, but Brooks sat out the contest due to a core injury. Still, Brooks made his presence felt on the bench. But […]

SCOTTSDALE– What’s been a top question for Jordan Ott and the Phoenix Suns with seven games into the season? When will Jalen Green make his Suns debut? After he was announced during the preseason, he would miss the beginning of the season; there was no timetable. Fast forward two weeks, and the same is true. […]

PHOENIX– It was a night to forget for Victor Wembanyama, as the Phoenix Suns limited him to only nine points in a lopsided 130-118 victory on Sunday. Although the Suns themselves were excited to face Wembanyama, he was on a tear heading into the game. He came into the contest averaging 30.2 points, 14.6 rebounds, […]

PHOENIX– Jordan Ott might not have been an NBA coach for very long in the league, but neither has star player Victor Wembanyama. The current Phoenix Suns head coach is in his first season with the team, and Wembanyama is in his third. Still, the two encountered each other for the first time during a […]

Players come and go in the NBA, but some leave a lasting impression. Some are like Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker: the epitome of honing in on your craft, season after season. Then there are those like San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama: a true freak of nature, towering at 7’4. He has guard […]

PHOENIX— The Utah Jazz might’ve been spooked on Friday’s rendition of Halloween hoops, courtesy of Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker. After Booker posted 34 points against the Jazz in a Monday overtime loss, he avenged it with a 36-point masterclass in a 118-96 win. He shot 13-23 from the field and had 12 points […]

Perhaps an underrated return belongs to Jusuf Nurkic of the Utah Jazz. The current backup center is one of many in Utah’s rotation. One season ago, though, the Phoenix Suns traded Nurkic to the Charlotte Hornets right before the 2024-25 trade deadline. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise for both parties. Still, […]

PHOENIX— The emergence of the next Phoenix Suns big man could be in the form of 23-year-old center Mark Williams. Let’s take a step back before making any bold claims. When the Suns traded for Williams on draft night, despite taking another center in Khaman Maluach, it felt like Williams might be brushed out of […]

The 2025 Phoenix Suns have a new roster that looks almost entirely different. However, that new roster has not translated to wins yet, with the Suns having a 1-4 record. They are still waiting for one of their bigger pieces to get back from injury, with newcomer Jalen Green dealing with a hamstring injury that […]

With a week before the regular season, the Phoenix Suns announced that Jalen Green would miss the season opener due to a hamstring injury. Originally, he was to be evaluated within 10 days, which prompted him to miss the first game. However, he missed the next three. Still, there is reason to be hopeful after […]

A 1-3 record isn’t appealing to the Phoenix Suns, but the progression by Mark Williams has been a welcome sight, especially after the team’s overtime loss to the Utah Jazz. After the Suns traded for Williams on draft night, many thought it was a mistake because of his injury history. However, throughout the offseason, head […]

For all the talk about the Phoenix Suns this offseason, they were poised to be a scrappy defensive team. Well, that’s at least what Dillon Brooks and head coach Jordan Ott collectively shared a vision for. Now, the team has allowed 116, 129, and 133 points through the first three games of the season. Granted, […]

Two games into his new tenure, veteran Dillon Brooks says Phoenix Suns All-Star Devin Booker isn’t being selfish enough. The Suns secured a 20-point comeback win in their 120-116 victory against the Sacramento Kings in coach Jordan Ott’s debut. Booker (31 points) and Brooks (22 points) led the team in Wednesday’s win. However, after Friday’s […]
