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 […]

PHOENIX– In the season opener, Phoenix Suns head coach Jordan Ott had the first of what could be many ‘valley moments’. It was an atypical game, considering the Suns were down by as many as 20 during the second quarter. But both Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks showed no real surprise at the 120-116 comeback […]

One element the Phoenix Suns underscored was a new culture, and team owner Mat Ishbia and shooting guard Devin Booker have been at the forefront of it. After a tumultuous 2024-25 season, the franchise is hoping to turn a new leaf. A retooled roster, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal no longer in town, and a […]

With the Phoenix Suns officially tipping off the 2025-26 NBA season on Wednesday, all eyes are on Devin Booker and a new-look Phoenix team, which lost Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, signaling a period of retooling in the Valley. For whatever it’s worth, plenty of national media believe that Phoenix will have a rough year. […]

The Phoenix Suns will open their new campaign against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday in an early face-off between division rivals. The Suns, led by Devin Booker, are looking to bounce back from a dismal run last season, wherein they missed the playoffs for the first time since 2020 after tallying a 36-46 record. The […]

Jalen Green is entering a new chapter in his NBA career with the Phoenix Suns, but there are still a lot of questions Green must answer as he joins his second team. The second overall pick in the 2021 draft, Green has dazzled at times with his scoring and athletic ability. But in a league […]

For all of the roster changes the Phoenix Suns made during the 2025 offseason, the franchise made one move that might’ve gone under the radar: trading for Mark Williams. After the Suns acquired Williams on draft night, it appeared to be confusing, considering the team drafted another young center in Khaman Maluach with the No. […]

The Phoenix Suns have an ideal plan with their center rotation, according to head coach Jordan Ott. With four centers on the team, it feels that there might be some confusion with who will get minutes. Mark Williams, Nick Richards, Oso Ighodaro, and rookie Khaman Maluach all have similar yet different skill sets. Williams is […]

LOS ANGELES, CA — Amazon officially kicked off the era of the NBA on Prime this week with the official launch of their Los Angeles studios. Alongside Dirk Nowitzki, Blake Griffin, Steve Nash, Udonis Haslem, and Taylor Rooks, hundreds of people gathered for the tour of Amazon’s new studio, which is where The 13,00 square […]

The new NBA Netflix show ‘Starting Five’ already has some crazy reactions, especially from former Phoenix Suns all-star and All-NBA forward Kevin Durant. Midway through a tumultuous season, a report was generated about the Suns trying to trade Durant to the Golden State Warriors. When he got wind of it, he immediately denied the trade […]

An experiment unlike any other: and for perhaps the wrong reasons. When the Phoenix Suns traded for Kevin Durant in February 2023, it was the biggest trade for the franchise since Charles Barkley. This also marked the biggest mid-season trade in recent NBA history. But what happened after Durant was traded to the Houston Rockets […]

PHOENIX– The Phoenix Suns announced that Jalen Green would miss the season opener due to a hamstring injury. Head coach Jordan Ott said he aggravated the injury during the team’s trip to Macao, China. It’s very discouraging news for Green, who played 186 consecutive games without an injury. Now, he’ll miss the first game of […]

With the 2025 NBA preseason rapidly coming to an end, the Phoenix Suns will not only be without new star guard Jalen Green as they take on the Los Angeles Lakers, but also for the regular season opener. Taking to social media to break the news, PHNX Suns shared Jordan Ott’s message to reporters on […]

When a player goes from the top at their position to not even being mentioned, some might think of a rational explanation. Injuries, natural regression, among other things. However, that isn’t the case for Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker. The annual NBA general manager rankings didn’t even list Booker in the top five shooting guards. […]

The Phoenix Suns might’ve unlocked a premier option next to Devin Booker, and it might not be Jalen Green. It could very well be Dillon Brooks. After the latter was traded to Phoenix as a part of the Kevin Durant trade, it felt like a full-circle moment. During training camp, Brooks emphasized that Booker was […]

LOS ANGELES, CA — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Tyrese Haliburton, Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Jaylen Brown have a few things in common. They’re among the best basketball players in the world, they each have their own unique personalities, and they were all able to show both of those in this season’s edition of Netflix’s Starting 5.
