"George Lopez like at 11:30 at night" 😂 📺 Asked the guys on media day the best TV show theme song!

From Monday: Clippers guard Bradley Beal on his buyout with the Phoenix Suns: “You definitely respect Phoenix and appreciate them because they helped get everything done. The communication was pretty straight forward. I’m always appreciative of that. It wasn’t easy at all. It wasn’t an easy decision because many teams made their push and made their run and made their pitch. It came down to the wire about where I wanted to go and what situation I wanted to be a part of.” #Suns #ClipperNation

"Miss you man, miss you!" That CP3-Blake Griffin connection is still strong 🥹

Rookie Khaman Maluach full media availability after Phoenix Suns training camp practice Monday. #Suns

Suns coach Jordan Ott on Khaman Maluach's adding size to his 7-foot-1 frame: "That was the plan Day 1. Anytime you get an 19-year-old young guy to come in the league, the biggest piece is usually the strength. It's not the skill and it's obviously not his size. He has both of those. It's just the strength piece just for him to function in the NBA and also for his health to try to prevent those big collisions he's going to have. He's attacked it Day 1." #Suns

Rookie Koby Brea media availability after Phoenix Suns training camp practice Monday. #Suns

I feel like I'm right there. Still have more work to do. Still have more strength to gain, but I feel like I'm right there." #Suns

"Definitely motivating for us to watch them." "The guys care. It's really cool to see them follow, them care about the Mercury." Suns rookie Koby Brea and first-year head coach Jordan Ott on Phoenix Mercury reaching 2025 WNBA Finals. #WNBAPlayoffs #WNBA #Suns

Former Suns big Deandre Ayton said joining the Lakers is the biggest opportunity of his career. "Some people say it's my last leg. Some people say it's my last chance, but it's an opportunity I can say I'm not going to take for granted. It's almost like a wounded animal. I feel all the tension and I know where I'm at. I've been in the gym every day." #Suns #LakeShow

ROOKIE SZN 🔜

Josh Okogie on Kevin Durant as they were teammates in Phoenix and now teammates in Houston. “What I’ve been able to see with K over the last two and half years, a guy who comes in and works like he’s a rookie to be honest. His work ethic, the speed in which he approaches his workouts and intentionality he approaches his workouts is something you don’t see for guys who are entering Year 18. I still personally think he has a lot of game left in him and he truly, truly loves the sport of basketball. You can say what you want about him the one thing you can’t say about him is he doesn’t love hoops and he’s not good at it and it’s inspiring to me and inspiring to everybody who plays with him.” #Suns #Rockets

Kevin Durant, the Houston Rocket ‼️

"I wasn't expecting to leave Phoenix that quickly, but that's just the nature of the game." Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant on the trade as he spent two full seasons with Suns after joining them before the 2023 trade deadline. “So I quickly just thought about who I was comfortable with, coaching staff would just let me be me and understand what I bring to the table. (Rockets coach Ime Udoka) has always been one of those guys who understood what I brought to the table, my mentality and my approach to the game. He always respected that and gave me my space to be me. That was one of the first things I thought about.” #Suns #Rockets
