Latest news and updates about the Suns
UPDATE: The Blazers have announced Deni Avdija is AVAILABLE to play tonight. The Portland Trail Blazers look to put last game’s bazillion-point drubbing behind them as they face the venerable Phoenix Suns tonight in Arizona. Let’s get together and chat about it! Here’s the basic info about the game: Portland Trail Blazers (27-30) at Phoenix […]
The Portland Trail Blazers are heading on the road for the first time after the NBA All-Star Break to face the Phoenix Suns. Portland has played one game since last week’s festivities, a massive loss to the Denver Nuggets in a 157-103 walloping. A bounce back game might be just what the Blazers need to […]
Portland Trail Blazers All-Star has been named as questionable on the injury report for the Blazers’ game versus the Phoenix Suns on Sunday. Also of note, center Yang Hansen and guard Caleb Love are both on assignment to the G League’s Rip City Remix and will not play in Phoenix. The Blazers released the report […]
We’re all coming around on the Brooklyn Nets’ 2025 NBA Draft, so widely mocked that the Phoenix Suns didn’t mind gasping at it on social media. The Nets themselves are probably feeling better about their draft too, if you believe last summer’s rumors that Brooklyn tried to trade one or two of their five first-round […]
How was the All-Star Weekend? As per always, I watched none of it. The only thing I really saw was an in-game dunk by Jaxson Hayes during the Slam Dunk Contest. Admittedly, I kind of loved that this was the moment that went viral. In a way, it exposed the shallowness of what the All-Star Weekend […]
Last offseason’s trade between the Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets, that saw Kevin Durant get dealt to Houston, in exchange for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, five second-round draft picks and the 10th pick of the 2025 NBA Draft has been a franchise saver, of sorts, for the Rockets. Especially when considering the mountain of injuries […]
The music was bumping, the crowd leaned forward and the fiesta-themed jerseys once again felt right at home in a city that prides itself on keeping things weird. On a night when the energy inside the Moody Center built with every defensive stop and every finish at the rim, the San Antonio Spurs turned a competitive first half into […]
The Suns were missing their emotional leader in Dillon Brooks, who was suspended for tonight’s game after committing 16 technical fouls before the All Star Break. When Devin Booker couldn’t come out of the locker room after halftime with hip soreness, the Suns were wounded, and the Spurs took advantage. The Spurs fought their way […]
Welcome to the Game Thread. Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much. It’s been eight days since the Spurs last played a meaningful […]
In a three-team trade with the Suns and the Bulls at the NBA trade deadline, the Milwaukee Bucks acquired forward Ousmane Dieng, jettisoning Amir Coffey and Cole Anthony. It was the third time in 24 hours before the deadline that Dieng had been traded. He was sent to Charlotte for Mason Plumlee, before being shipped […]
The Celtics have a treat coming out of All-Star break: a four-game west coast swing that includes games at the Warriors, Lakers, Suns and Nuggets and a back-to-back. Boston is set to face four teams that if the playoffs started today, would all be participating. They all present different issues. The Warriors will be without […]
With roughly a week left in the month of February, and the All-Star break officially over, the Spurs are starting things back up with a bang as they face a team that has pretty much confounded them thus far in the Phoenix Suns. This will be round three for these teams, and the long layoff […]
Friday evening was the kick off to the NBA All-Star Weekend. It was also the Chris Paul officially announced his retirement. There are many, many accolades to list after the career the Point God had. Mad respect to those who put this list of every assist he ever made. The way Chris Paul unceremoniously separated […]
To no one’s surprise, Cooper Flagg was officially named a “Rising Star” by the NBA and was tapped to compete in the “Rising Stars Challenge” during the 2026 All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles before suffering a foot injury in Tuesday’s 120-111 loss at the Phoenix Suns. It got us thinking: What other Mavericks have been […]
The Dallas Mavericks continued their road trip against the Phoenix Suns with hopes of ending their season-high seven-game losing streak. Instead, their skid stretched to eight games after a 120-111 loss that was nowhere near as close as the score would indicate. Let’s get to the grades! Tyus Jones: C 2 PTS / 2 REB […]
The Mavericks lost a long, dreadful game in Phoenix tonight to their old rival, the Suns. Naji Marshall led the way for Dallas with 31 points, with rookie Cooper Flagg tagging along with 27 to try to push the Mavs back from an early 31-point deficit. Newly acquired Khris Middleton also put in 13 points […]
The Dallas Mavericks (19-34) rolled their tank into Mortgage Matchup Center on Tuesday and offered little to no resistance against the Phoenix Suns (34-22) in a fart-and-fall-down 120-111 loss, the team’s eighth in a row. Naji Marshall scored 11 of his team-high 31 points in the fourth quarter in the fakest comeback attempt the NBA […]
The Dallas Mavericks (19-33) stay on the road Tuesday night to match up against the Phoenix Suns (31-22). Dallas has now lost seven in a row, most recently to the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night.

The Portland Trail Blazers went 3-1 this week, starting off with a loss to the Phoenix Suns before picking up a pair of wins over the Memphis Grizzlies and a win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

As they say, the show must go on. After a few eventful days in the world of the Philadelphia 76ers with the passing of the NBA trade deadline (and the trade of Jared McCain), there’s no option but to get back to work. On Saturday night, the Sixers will continue their western road trip with […]
In a surprise change of events, the Bucks have reworked their trade with the Suns. Big man Nick Richards is heading to Chicago, not Milwaukee, while Ousmane Dieng, formerly of the Thunder, is being rerouted to the Bucks. Nothing changes for Nigel Hayes-Davis, Cole Anthony and Amir Coffey. Dieng has bounced around a couple places […]
After more and more reports came out in the last 24 hours that the Bucks were increasingly likely to keep Giannis Antetokounmpo through the deadline, the most recent intel from ESPN’s Shams Charania also indicated they were going to move on to other trades. Almost immediately after, we got notification that Milwaukee had completed their […]
