The Suns gave fans in Phoenix something to cheer about on Tuesday night as they rallied from a 23-point second-half deficit against the Clippers to get back in the win column.
Sacramento Kings forward Jae Crowder responded to a question Wednesday on X, formerly known as Twitter, in addressing why he didn't play his final season with the Phoenix Suns in 2022-23. Crowder was asked if it was over a "conflict" with former Suns coach Monty Williams and if he still wouldn't have been in Phoenix if that wasn't the case.
Rival executives discuss the possibility of the Phoenix Suns parting ways with Mike Budenholzer after just one season.
The Clippers get a career-high 35 points from Ivica Zubac, but Kevin Durant (34) and Phoenix erase a 19-point deficit in the fourth and hand them their sixth loss in seven games, 119-117.
Kevin Durant is in his second full season with the Phoenix Suns while Mike Budenholzer is in his first as head coach with the franchise.
At 36 years old, everybody knows Kevin Durant is entering his final act in the NBA. Yet, his scoring ability appears to be timeless, and that is what will draw wishful glances from contending teams around the NBA.
He’s averaging 24.5 on 57.4% shooting in his four games after the NBA All-Star break. The Suns (27-34) will also be without Monte Morris (back) and Cody Martin (sports hernia) for Friday’s game while Grayson Allen is listed as doubtful with left foot soreness.
The Phoenix Suns lost a fourth straight game Thursday, falling to the San Antonio Spurs in Austin with the same struggles on full display.
