Death may be an inevitable part of life, but processing grief never gets easier at any point. Losing a loved one hurts, no matter the circumstances and no matter how prepared someone thinks they are.

Devin Booker was out of action on Sunday as the Phoenix Suns suffered another loss at the hands of the New Orleans Pelicans, 129-124.

The Jae Crowder-Phoenix Suns trade saga appears to be nearing its conclusion. Three-and-D forwards are at a premium, making Crowder a coveted asset in the trade market. Of all the suitors, it seems as if the Milwaukee Bucks remain Crowder’s likeliest destination. However, the Bucks and Suns have been unable to find a suitable agreement […]

One of basketball’s newest and most heated rivalries is due another installment after Zion Williamson helped heighten existing tension between the New Orleans Pelicans and Phoenix Suns on Friday. Too bad Devin Booker could be primed to miss Sunday’s matchup between these contentious Western Conference powers. Booker was spotted leaving Saturday’s shootaround at Smoothie King […]

Much has been made with Zion Williamson’s last-second dunk for the New Orleans Pelicans during Friday night’s win over the Phoenix Suns.

The New Orleans Pelicans’ 128-117 win over the Phoenix Suns on Friday night was smeared by a late-game altercation between the two teams.

The highly anticipated showdown between Luka Doncic and Devin Booker was quite disappointing, to say the least, with the Phoenix Suns star failing to live up to expectations once again when facing his Dallas Mavericks counterpart.
