The Los Angeles Clippers have been playing without star Kawhi Leonard over the last week as he recovers from inflammation in his right knee.

Phoenix Suns lost an important playoff-atmosphere game against the New Orleans Pelicans Sunday, 113-105. The Suns, who led New Orleans by one game for the No. 6 seed in the West, lost hope of perhaps putting a stranglehold on the Pelicans to stay out of the play-in. “It’s hard not to look at [the standings],” […]

The Phoenix Suns entered the 2023-24 season as one of the most hyped-up teams in the association after they traded for Bradley Beal, giving the team yet another high-level shot creator. They already had Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, so adding Beal seemed as if it was a move that could push them over the […]

The Phoenix Suns are battling to avoid the Play-In Tournament in the Western Conference, but they didn’t do a very good job of accomplishing that goal on Sunday against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Suns suffered a 113-105 loss to the Pelicans, giving both teams a 46-32 record with just four games left on the […]

Grayson Allen is one of the key players for the Phoenix Suns. While shooting next to Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, Allen is leading the NBA in 3-point percentage (47.0) while averaging a career-high 13.6 points. Allen, who missed the Suns’ win over the Cavs, returned Friday in the team’s best win of […]

The New Orleans Pelicans will have their best player available for what might be the team’s biggest game of the regular season. Zion Williamson was listed as questionable to play in New Orleans’ pivotal clash with the Phoenix Suns on Sunday due to a left finger contusion, but he has since been upgraded to available. […]

Devin Booker’s leadership for the Phoenix Suns is something coach Frank Vogel is vocal about. Booker, who is in his ninth season with the Suns, is the team’s franchise player. He is also apparently their loudest in film session. “As good as anyone as I’ve been around,” said Vogel, who has coached superstars LeBron James […]

At one point, the Minnesota Timberwolves were among the hottest teams in the NBA, but the Wolves scored a season-low 87 points in a loss to the Phoenix Suns on Friday, prompting veteran point guard Mike Conley to explain what went wrong in Phoenix. In a post-game scrum, Conley said things fell apart for Minnesota […]

Bradley Beal was traded from the Washington Wizards to the Phoenix Suns, opening up a group he feels is the best team he’s been on with fellow superstars Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. “It’s crazy, when I met with these guys, it’s the first thing James (Jones) said, like, ‘OK, when we played you, we […]

Anthony Edwards is the one man the Phoenix Suns have to be aware of in their matchup against the No. 1 seed in the West, the Minnesota Timberwolves, Friday. Edwards, who is perceived to be one of the future faces of the league, is the Timberwolves’ best player and go-to scorer. Here is what three […]

The final push before the playoffs is here, but it’s not very dramatic for the Boston Celtics. In fact, they’ve already clinched the NBA’s best record with six games left on the schedule and established themselves as the team to beat. Since the Celtics are the betting favorite to bring home a championship, every other […]

There are no set matchups yet ahead of the NBA playoffs due to the fact that the standings in both the Eastern and Western Conferences are changing each and every night. A total of 12 games will be played on Friday night, 10 of which will directly impact the race to the playoffs across the […]

Isaiah Thomas might be on the Phoenix Suns the rest of the season.  Saturday, Thomas earned his second 10-day contract. ClutchPoints asked Devin Booker, the Suns’ star guard, what Thomas has meant to the team. “The ultimate teammate, ultimate professional, just ultimate hooper,” said Booker, who is averaging 27.6 points and 6.9 assists in his […]

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker was asked about his lackluster defense at Wednesday’s shootaround prior to the Suns’ game against the Cleveland Cavaliers Wednesday night at Footprint Center.  Statistically, Booker – who is averaging 27.4 points and a career-best 6.9 assists, taking on a bigger role offensively and adjusting to a player at his same […]

The Sacramento Kings are in a battle for playoff positioning. The Kings are currently the eighth seed. If the season ended, they’d be in the top half of the play-in bracket, which is fine. They are just 1.5 games behind the New Orleans Pelicans for the sixth seed in the West, which is good. However, […]

Devin Booker did it again, “it” meaning 50 points or more against the New Orleans Pelicans. Booker’s performance was downright historic. The Phoenix Suns superstar is the first NBA player to score at least 50 points in three consecutive games against the same opponent since Wilt Chamberlain back in the 1960s. Willie Green credited Booker […]

Kevin Durant is one of the most lethal scorers in NBA history, making him a star that is a no-doubt Basketball Hall of Famer. In his NBA career, Durant has garnered two NBA championships, two Finals MVPs, and an NBA MVP. He is also a 14-time NBA All-Star. But while Durant has accomplished plenty in […]

Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns are in the middle of their most difficult stretch of the season. Coming off a 25-point demolition at the hands of the Shai Gilgeous-Alexander-less Oklahoma City Thunder, the Suns figured out the hard way that there was no rest for the weary, as they took on the New Orleans […]

Devin Booker is one of the best players in the NBA. To some, he is one of the top-5 since he has accomplished in the playoffs what had only been done previously by Michael Jordan. Booker, at age 24, scored the most points by a player ever in their first playoff run (602). In 2022, […]

The Phoenix Suns are fighting for their playoff lives. They are not shying away from the possibility of even missing the postseason. “We got eight more games left. Hopefully, we get an opportunity to play in the postseason,” said superstar forward Kevin Durant, who needs to play defense and lead by example. “Take it a […]

The New Orleans Pelicans (45-29) cannot clinch a spot in the Western Conference’s fourth versus fifth first-round series this week but they can sure lose any hopes of appearing in it. Willie Green’s group is just 1-2 amid a six-game homestand and losing ground in the NBA Playoffs race. The first week of April is […]

Kevin Durant has addressed pretty much every basketball kind of problem. The Phoenix Suns have one, facing a brutal eight-game stretch of playoff teams. The Suns have been inconsistent in the regular season but can avoid the play-in round with star play from their leader. “It’s a good tune-up for us when you’re playing against […]

The moment Isaiah Thomas walked into the Phoenix Suns’ 5G Permorance Facility, he knew things were different. “Ten years ago went by so fast, it don’t even look like the same city,” said Thomas. Thomas played in 2014-15 with former Suns Goran Dragic, Eric Bledsoe and P.J. Tucker. Phoenix finished below .500 but Thomas, who […]

Phoenix Suns are looking for someone to step up in the 2024 NBA playoffs. Drew Eubanks has not been that guy. Unfortunately for the Suns’ rotation — which has suffered tremendously in plus/minus with Eubanks, who is the only player on their roster with a negative plus-minus — Eubanks is on the depth chart ahead […]

Phoenix Suns were obliterated by the OKC Thunder without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Assuming Phoenix advances to the first-round of the playoffs by qualifying or getting past the play-in, […]

Phoenix Suns fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder without their leader, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, on Friday night, 128-103.

After the game, Kevin Durant spoke with AZCentral’s Duane Rankin about the […]

The Phoenix Suns are planning to sign point guard Isaiah Thomas to a second 10-day contract, according to Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic. Thomas, a two-time All-Star, has his final day of his first 10-day contract Friday, when the Suns play the second-place team in the West, the OKC Thunder. Isaiah Thomas putting in […]

Without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Phoenix Suns have an opportunity to beat the No. 2 seed in the West, the OKC Thunder, on the road Friday.

The careers of Phoenix Suns star Bradley Beal and Boston Celtics stalwart Jayson Tatum will forever be intertwined even though they entered the NBA five years apart. Beal and Tatum are close friends from childhood, growing together in St. Louis (even going together to the same high school), and now, they have become two of […]

The NBA’s best 3-point shooter by percentage (49.4) plays basketball for the Phoenix Suns. No, it’s not Kevin Durant or Devin Booker. It’s starting guard Grayson Allen, who the Suns traded for just under a month prior to the start of the regular season. “He’s a hell of a basketball player in so many ways,” […]

The Phoenix Suns had two starters suffer injuries in their shocking 104-102 loss to the 15th seed in the Western Conference, the San Antonio Spurs, without Victor Wembanyama on Monday. Phoenix center Jusuf Nurkic went down with an ankle injury in the third quarter, and Bradley Beal suffered a right finger sprain. Both of the […]

Kevin Durant did not have a field-goal attempt in the first quarter of the Phoenix Suns’ “unacceptable” loss to the San Antonio Spurs Monday night. Durant had a third-quarter outburst with 15 points on 6-of-6 shooting but was not the primary initiator for the Suns in the fourth.  3 things. 1. Royce O'Neale helped off […]
