Bradley Beal, Phoenix Suns
Amid a roller-coaster season that began with title hopes, the Suns needed a shakeup. But with limited options, where do they go from here?
Receiving major bench contributions from both Bradley Beal and Grayson Allen, the Phoenix Suns won 123-115 over the Atlanta Hawks. Beal led the Suns (17-19) with 25 points and both Allen and Kevin Durant scored 23 apiece.
Beal (ankle) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Pistons. Since picking up an ankle sprain Tuesday, Beal will likely miss his second game in a row Saturday. Ryan Dunn is coming off a strong showing versus the Wizards on Thursday,
Stars may get moved at the NBA trade deadline, Cameron Johnson may be the most valuable player dealt. Here's why.
The Phoenix Suns have already made two moves this season. The first was acquiring center Nick Richards and a second-round pick from the Charlotte Hornets for Josh Okogie and three second-round picks.
Phoenix is already in the dealing mood, adding three future first-round picks in a trade with the Utah Jazz on Tuesday. The widely held belief is that the Suns are trying to gather enough assets in a move for Butler, which would probably involve the recently benched and currently injured Beal.
As Jimmy Butler's future in Miami grows more uncertain, Zach Harper explains why NBA trades are so complex these days.
Devin Booker scored a game-high 32 points and Kevin Durant registered 24 points in his second game at Brooklyn against his former team to lead Phoenix (22-21) back above .500.
Devin Booker’s 32 points and six assists led the Phoenix Suns to a wire-to-wire 108-84 win over the Brooklyn Nets to conclude a five-game road trip. Kevin Durant dominated his former team early, scoring 19 of his 24 (8-of15 FG) points in the first half.
The Phoenix Suns (21-21) play at the Brooklyn Nets (14-30) on Wednesday, airing in the Valley on Arizona's Family (Ch. 3) at 5:30 p.m. This is the final of the Suns' five-game road trip, and second of their home and away series against the Nets.
The Suns want Jimmy Butler. Jimmy Butler wants to be on the Suns. But making that happen is a long process that features a lot of variables.
