Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Dominates Thunder-Suns Game 3 as Oklahoma City Nears Playoff Sweep The Oklahoma City Thunder extended their first-round playoff dominance with a 121-109 victory over the Phoenix Suns in Game 3, taking a 3-0 series lead. The win solidified the Thunder’s 11-0 record in first-round playoff games over the past three seasons and highlighted Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s historic performance. Gilgeous-Alexander, the reigning Kia MVP, scored a career-playoff-high 42 points, shooting 15-for-18 from the field and 11-for-12 from the free-throw line, while adding eight assists. His efficiency—true shooting percentage over 90%—made him just the seventh player in NBA history to achieve a 40-point playoff game with such a mark. The Thunder’s ability to score efficiently against a top-10 defensive unit in the regular season underscored their dominance, as they outscored the Suns by 12 points per 100 possessions in the series. Gilgeous-Alexander’s mid-range mastery was a key factor in the Thunder’s success. This season, he shot 54.9% from mid-range and beyond the arc, the fourth-best mark for a player with at least 300 attempts in the past 29 seasons, trailing only Kevin Durant. In Game 3, he was 6-for-7 from mid-range, with his most impactful work occurring in the final six minutes of the second quarter. The Suns, attempting to contain him, shifted their defensive focus, assigning starting center Oso Ighodaro to guard him for stretches. Gilgeous-Alexander exploited this by targeting Devin Booker in pick-and-roll actions, drawing fouls and creating open shots for teammates. For example, he beat Ighodaro off the dribble, drew a foul on Booker, and set up an open 3-pointer for Jaylin Williams.#oklahoma_city_thunder #phoenix_suns #devin_booker #shai_gilgeousalexander #osso_ighodaro
Suns' Booker, Brooks Criticize Referees After Game 2 Loss to Thunder The Phoenix Suns faced backlash from their star players following a 120-107 Game 2 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals, which gave the defending champions a 2-0 series lead. Suns guard Devin Booker and forward Dillon Brooks openly criticized the officiating, accusing referees of undermining the integrity of the sport and favoring the Thunder’s star player, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Booker, who has played for the Suns since 2015, called the game’s officiating “terrible” and warned that such behavior could erode fan trust in the NBA. Booker’s frustration stemmed from a technical foul called against him in the third quarter, which he claimed was unjust. The call occurred after Booker attempted to prevent an out-of-bounds play by passing the ball to a teammate, only for Oklahoma City’s Jaylin Williams to bump him out of bounds. Booker argued that the referees failed to recognize his defensive effort, instead penalizing him for an infraction that did not occur. “I haven’t called a ref out by name in 11 years,” Booker said, “but tonight, it felt disrespectful. If they’re not held accountable, people will start viewing this as a WWE show.” Brooks, who scored 30 points before fouling out, focused his criticism on the perceived bias toward Gilgeous-Alexander, the Thunder’s reigning MVP. Brooks accused referees of calling unnecessary fouls on the Canadian guard, particularly during a critical moment in the game. “He’s a little frail, and that’s what the refs are going to call,” Brooks said, referencing Gilgeous-Alexander’s 37-point performance, which included a perfect 9-of-9 free throw shooting.#oklahoma_city_thunder #phoenix_suns #devin_booker #shai_gilgeousalexander #dillon_brooks

Jalen Green Injury: Update on Suns Star's Status for Play-In Game The Phoenix Suns, a team that defied expectations this season, secured the Western Conference’s No. 7 playoff seed after a strong finish to the regular season. This achievement places them in the NBA play-in tournament, where they will face the No. 8-seeded Portland Trail Blazers in a high-stakes matchup on Tuesday. The game carries immense significance for the Suns, as their postseason hopes hinge on a strong performance in this critical contest. A key component of the Suns’ offensive success has been the contributions of Devin Booker and Jalen Green. However, concerns arose when Green suffered a knee injury late in the regular season, casting doubt over his availability for the play-in game. The injury initially placed him on the Suns’ injury report, prompting questions about his readiness to return. As of the latest update, Green has been removed from the Suns’ injury report, signaling that he is cleared to participate in the upcoming game. There is no indication of any restrictions on his playing time, and he has been given the green light to take part in the team’s final push for the playoffs. This development is particularly crucial for the Suns, who are relying heavily on Green’s scoring ability to navigate the play-in round. The Suns’ coaching staff and medical team have confirmed that Green’s recovery is on track, and his absence from the injury report suggests that he is fully prepared to contribute. With the team’s season on the line, the Suns are eager to have Green back in action, as his presence could make a significant difference in the high-pressure environment of the play-in game. The Trail Blazers, meanwhile, will be looking to capitalize on any potential challenges the Suns face without their star player.#phoenix_suns #devin_booker #jalen_green #portland_trail_blazers #nba_play_in_tournament

Devin Booker ruled out, Jalen Green questionable for Suns vs Lakers The Phoenix Suns have confirmed that All-Star guard Devin Booker will not play in the team’s upcoming game against the Los Angeles Lakers on April 10, marking his second consecutive game missed due to a lingering injury. Booker, who scored 37 points in the Suns’ 112-107 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on April 8, expressed uncertainty about his availability for the final two regular-season games but indicated the team would likely sit him for one of them. The Suns, currently sitting at 44-36, will face the defending NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder in their final game of the season on April 12. Jalen Green, the Suns’ rookie guard, is listed as questionable for the Lakers matchup after dealing with right knee soreness. Green, who has already missed 48 games this season due to a right hamstring injury, missed the second half of the Suns’ April 7 win against the Memphis Grizzlies after sustaining the knee issue in the first half. He warmed up at halftime but was unable to return. Jordan Goodwin, who suffered a left ankle sprain in the same game, and Haywood Highsmith, who has been sidelined with an unspecified injury, have both been ruled out for the Lakers game. The Suns’ injury list also includes Mark Williams, who missed the previous game due to a left foot injury, and Grayson Allen, who sat out after a right quad contusion. Both players are listed as available for the April 10 game but are not included on the official injury report. Meanwhile, the Lakers face their own challenges, as they are without Luka Doncic (left hamstring strain) and Austin Reaves (left oblique muscle strain), who have been ruled out for the remainder of the season.#los_angeles_lakers #oklahoma_city_thunder #phoenix_suns #devin_booker #jalen_green
Mavs vs. Suns Recap: John Poulakidas Scores 23 In Loss To Phoenix The Dallas Mavericks fell to the Phoenix Suns 112-107 in a thrilling matchup at Mortgage Matchup Center on Wednesday night, despite a valiant comeback effort led by rookie John Poulakidas. Poulakidas, who entered the game in his 11th NBA contest, delivered a career-high 23 points, including five three-pointers, to spark a late rally that briefly put Dallas within one point of the Suns. The Mavericks, however, could not sustain their momentum and fell to 25-55 on the season, while Phoenix secured the Western Conference’s seventh seed with two games remaining. The game began with the Suns dominating early, building an 18-point lead by the third quarter. Phoenix’s Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks carried the offense, combining for 65 points and 14 assists, while Khaman Maluach made his NBA debut with 14 rebounds and three blocks. The Suns’ 16-0 run in the third quarter stretched their lead to 71-53, leaving the Mavericks in a precarious position. However, Dallas’ undermanned roster, missing key players such as Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson, and Naji Marshall, refused to quit. Poulakidas emerged as the Mavericks’ unlikely hero, showcasing his poise and scoring ability in a pivotal moment. In the first quarter, he blocked a putback attempt by Booker and followed it with a pull-up jumper, setting the tone for his performance. His ability to stay aggressive despite missed shots became a defining trait. “I went into this game with the right mindset, just trying to refocus and stay aggressive,” Poulakidas said. “The last few games, I’ve had good looks that didn’t drop, but I know they will. So it’s about staying confident, even when I’m missing shots that I know I make every day.” The rookie’s impact was felt throughout the game.#phoenix_suns #devin_booker #dallas_mavericks #mortgage_matchup_center #john_poulakidas

Lakers reveal final injury report for Friday's game versus Suns The Los Angeles Lakers are set to face the Phoenix Suns on Friday as they continue their push to secure a favorable playoff seed in the Western Conference. The matchup comes amid ongoing challenges for both teams, with the Lakers navigating a critical stretch of their regular season and the Suns grappling with key absences. The final injury report for the game has been released, offering clarity on the availability of several key players and the potential impact of their status on the outcome. The Lakers’ roster has been significantly affected by injuries throughout the season, and Friday’s game is no exception. Luka Doncic, the team’s star forward, and Austin Reaves, a vital contributor, are both sidelined due to lingering injuries. Their absence has placed additional pressure on the team’s depth, particularly as the Lakers aim to solidify their position in the playoff race. The Suns, meanwhile, are missing their franchise player, Devin Booker, who is sidelined with an ankle injury. Booker’s absence has been a major blow to Phoenix’s offensive capabilities, as he has been a consistent scoring threat and a key playmaker for the team. The game is part of a back-to-back set for the Lakers, a scenario that often tests a team’s resilience and depth. One of the most anticipated developments is the potential return of LeBron James, who has been a focal point of the team’s success. While his availability for both games has been a topic of speculation, the latest report confirms that James has been cleared to play. However, his role in the second game may be influenced by the team’s strategic approach, as they look to manage his workload and ensure he remains fresh for the postseason.#luka_doncic #los_angeles_lakers #phoenix_suns #devin_booker #austin_reaves

Grayson Allen to Miss Fourth Straight Game Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen will miss Sunday’s game against the Toronto Raptors, marking his fourth consecutive absence due to a left knee injury. The Suns have not provided an updated timeline for his return, leaving Collin Gillespie to assume a larger role in the starting lineup. Gillespie, who logged 33 minutes in his last start, contributed 18 points, four three-pointers, four rebounds, and six assists, positioning him as a short-term streaming option for fantasy managers. Devin Booker is expected to carry a significant offensive load, while Jalen Green may also see increased scoring opportunities as the team navigates its injury challenges. Allen’s absence continues to impact the Suns’ backcourt depth, forcing adjustments in playmaking and scoring responsibilities. The injury situation adds pressure on the roster to maintain competitiveness amid a crowded Western Conference. The Suns’ medical staff has yet to confirm a specific recovery plan for Allen, but his continued absence suggests the knee issue remains unresolved. With key players sidelined, the team will rely on depth and adaptability to manage the schedule. Gillespie’s performance in Allen’s place could provide a temporary solution, though the long-term implications of the injury remain uncertain. The Suns’ injury woes highlight the challenges of maintaining consistency in a competitive league. As Allen works toward a return, the team’s ability to balance offensive production and defensive contributions will be critical. Fantasy analysts will closely monitor Gillespie’s ability to sustain his recent output while keeping an eye on Booker’s workload and Green’s development. The situation underscores the importance of depth and flexibility in managing a roster with multiple setbacks.#phoenix_suns #devin_booker #collin_gillespie #toronto_raptors #grayson_allen
Phoenix Suns Defeat Charlotte Hornets 111-99, Ending Road Winning Streak The Phoenix Suns extended their winning streak to four games with a 111-99 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday, ending the Hornets’ 10-game road winning streak. Devin Booker led the way for Phoenix with 30 points and 10 assists, despite shooting just 1 for 6 from beyond the arc. Booker made all 15 of his free throws, ensuring his team’s lead remained intact throughout the game. Collin Gillespie and Jalen Green each contributed 24 points for the Suns, who improved to 16-12 on the season. Rasheer Fleming added 16 off the bench, including four 3-pointers, while the Suns’ depth proved crucial in securing the win. Phoenix’s bench scored 42 points, compared to Charlotte’s 44, but the Suns’ stronger defense in the second half allowed them to pull away. Charlotte’s LaMelo Ball led the Hornets with 22 points, but his team’s road winning streak came to an end. The Hornets’ 10-game road win streak was the longest in NBA history since the 2019-20 Lakers’ 11-game stretch. Charlotte’s loss ended a 16-5 record in their last 21 games since a poor 4-14 start to the season. Miles Bridges, Kon Knueppel, and Brandon Miller all scored in double digits in the first half, with Knueppel leading the NBA in 3-pointers despite going 2 for 8 from deep. The Suns, playing their final home game before a six-game road trip, maintained their strong performance. Phoenix’s victory came without starters Dillon Brooks and Mark Williams, both sidelined by injuries, and without Grayson Allen, who sat out with a sore right knee. The Suns led 60-58 at halftime, with Green scoring 20 points and Booker adding 14.#charlotte_hornets #phoenix_suns #devin_booker #collin_gillespie #jalen_green

Devin Booker says Suns rookie 'graduated' following career-night Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker joked during his postgame press conference that rookie Rasheer Fleming has "graduated" after a standout performance in the Suns’ 111-98 victory over the Charlotte Hornets. Fleming, who scored a career-high 16 points, has continued to develop rapidly, earning praise from Booker for his growth as a player. Fleming’s performance marked a significant step forward, especially as he transitioned from focusing on defense to contributing more on offense. A week prior, he had been tasked with guarding high-profile opponents like Luka Doncic and LeBron James, but now his offensive skills are catching up. Booker, who has seen multiple Suns rookies progress over the years, noted that Fleming and fellow rookie Khaman Maluach have moved beyond the "stay-ready" group—a term used to describe players still learning the ropes. "Both of them are doing it well," Booker said, laughing after the game. "We watched them from the beginning. You see the potential. You saw what they can do in training camp, and I’ve seen that plenty of times over my years. You just wait for the real game and see if it translates." Fleming echoed Booker’s sentiment, emphasizing the value of playing in the G-League and staying-ready opportunities. "It’s basketball at the end of the day," he said. "When Khaman and I are able to play in that, or the G-League, we take advantage, full advantage of that opportunity because it’s basketball and it’s another way to get better." The 20-year-old Fleming, a former St. Joe’s standout, has been working to integrate himself into the Suns’ offense while also improving his defensive versatility. His ability to create space, rebound, and find open shots has drawn attention, and Booker’s postgame praise highlighted his progress.#phoenix_suns #devin_booker #khaman_maluach #rasheer_fleming #st_joes

Rasheer Fleming Shines with Career-High Performance Against Hornets Rasheer Fleming delivered a standout performance in the Phoenix Suns’ 111-99 victory over the Charlotte Hornets, scoring a career-high 16 points in just 23 minutes off the bench. The rookie forward’s contributions were crucial in helping the Suns maintain their lead against the road-faring Hornets, who had previously won 10 consecutive away games. Fleming’s ability to knock down shots from beyond the arc played a significant role in the win, as he made two of his career-best four three-pointers in the third quarter. Fleming’s efforts came as a counterpoint to fellow Suns rookie Khaman Maluach, who also had a strong game but did not dominate the spotlight. The 6-foot-9 forward’s shooting accuracy has improved notably, with a 55.6% clip (8 for 15) this month. His three-point shooting has been a focus area since his time in the G League, and the results are now showing. In February, Fleming shot 7 for 17 from long range, but his efficiency has increased significantly in recent weeks. The Suns’ victory was bolstered by a balanced offensive attack, with three players scoring over 20 points. Devin Booker led the way with 30 points, including a perfect 15-of-15 performance from the free-throw line. Jalen Green added 24 points, shooting 8 of 19, while Collin Gillespie contributed 24 points and five three-pointers. Fleming’s 16 points came on 6-of-8 shooting, complemented by two rebounds, both of which came off the offensive glass. Coach Devin Booker praised Fleming’s performance after the game, highlighting the rookie’s impact on the team’s success. Fleming’s ability to step up in key moments, particularly in the third quarter, was a turning point for the Suns.#charlotte_hornets #phoenix_suns #devin_booker #rasheer_fleming #khaman_maluach
Charlotte Hornets vs Phoenix Suns injury report: Who's playing, injured and questionable players, head-to-head records, team stats, and more (March 8, 2026) The Charlotte Hornets and Phoenix Suns are set to face off on March 8, 2026, in a late-season matchup scheduled for 10:00 ET. Both teams are vying for playoff positioning as the NBA regular season approaches its final stretch. Charlotte, fighting to secure a spot in the Eastern Conference play-in picture, faces a challenge with limited depth due to injuries. Phoenix, meanwhile, remains in a tight Western Conference race but also grapples with multiple key absences. The availability of players and the effectiveness of their rotations could heavily influence the outcome of the game. For the Hornets, the injury report shows minimal impact on their active roster, with only one player listed as out. Tidjane Salaun is sidelined with a left calf strain, while several younger players are with the G League. This allows LaMelo Ball to remain in the lineup as the team’s primary playmaker. The Hornets’ roster includes Miles Bridges and Brandon Miller as key scorers, with Collin Sexton, acquired in a trade with Utah, adding depth at the guard position. The frontcourt features Mason Plumlee and Moussa Diabate, though Mark Williams and Nick Richards were traded to Phoenix earlier in the season. The Suns, however, face a more significant challenge with multiple injuries affecting their rotation. Dillon Brooks is out with a left hand fracture, Jordan Goodwin is sidelined due to a left calf strain, and Mark Williams is unavailable with a left foot injury. Grayson Allen is listed as probable with a right knee issue, but the team will rely heavily on Devin Booker, who remains their top scoring threat.#charlotte_hornets #phoenix_suns #la_melo_ball #devin_booker #miles_bridges

Phoenix Suns Stars Seek Chemistry After Key Win The Phoenix Suns took a step toward building chemistry between Devin Booker and Jalen Green after a 114-103 victory over the Sacramento Kings on March 3. The win, in front of a crowd of 15,099 at Golden 1 Center, marked a crucial moment for the team as they aim to strengthen their backcourt duo ahead of the final stretch of the regular season. Booker, returning from a four-game absence due to a hip strain, and Green, who had missed 48 games in his first season with the Suns due to injuries, combined for 37 points in the win. Booker emphasized the urgency of the moment, stating, “The time is now.” Despite the Suns’ position in the Western Conference standings—two games behind the Los Angeles Lakers for sixth and three and a half games out of third—Booker acknowledged the team’s potential. “We’re right in the mix,” he said. “Every game is going to be valuable and important. We still have time to learn and develop that chemistry we’ll need.” Green echoed this sentiment, noting, “Nobody expected us to be in that spot. We can really build on what we’ve been talking about and take it from there.” The Suns’ offensive output in the game was bolstered by contributions from multiple players. Green scored 20 points, while Grayson Allen added 18, Collin Gillespie and Booker each tallied 17, and Oso Ighodaro recorded a double-double with 14 points and 14 rebounds. Mark Williams also contributed 10 points and nine rebounds. Allen highlighted the team’s focus on winning in the margins, saying, “Doing all the little things over the course of a season led to some good wins. We’ve shown we kind of belong.” The game also showcased Green’s explosiveness, particularly in a highlight-reel one-handed dunk after catching a lob from Gillespie.#sacramento_kings #phoenix_suns #devin_booker #jalen_green #golden_1_center
Phoenix Suns Update: Booker's Return, Green's Struggles, and Williams' Offensive Challenges Phoenix Suns All-Star guard Devin Booker has returned to full practice participation after missing the team’s previous four games due to a right hip strain. Coach Jordan Ott reported that Booker has continued to progress, engaging in live 5-on-5 drills during March 1 practice. The five-time All-Star, who averages 24.7 points and 6.1 assists per game, strained his hip in a Feb. 19 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Ott emphasized that Booker’s ability to participate in live action helps maintain team rhythm, even with extended breaks between games. The Suns, currently 34-26, have not played since a Feb. 26 win over the Los Angeles Lakers and will face the NBA-worst Sacramento Kings on March 3. Booker’s status for the upcoming game remains uncertain, though Ott noted his recent practice sessions show improvement. Jalen Green, meanwhile, continues to struggle with a shooting slump. The 24-year-old forward, playing in just 12 games this season due to a right hamstring injury, has shot 21-of-75 from the field in his last four contests, including a dismal 5-of-33 from beyond the arc. Coach Ott attributed Green’s struggles to conditioning issues, noting that the young player has never faced such challenges before. Despite his low efficiency, Green’s recent five-game streak after the All-Star break is a positive sign. Ott acknowledged Green’s need to regain rhythm but praised his effort to stay engaged. Mark Williams has also faced offensive challenges, scoring just 21 points in four games on 27 shot attempts. The 7-foot center, who averages 11.6 points on 63.5% shooting, has struggled with foul trouble, accumulating four fouls in a recent game.#phoenix_suns #devin_booker #jalen_green #mark_williams #jordan_ott
Phoenix Suns Players Navigate Injuries And Recovery Devin Booker, the Suns' star shooting guard, participated in 5-on-5 drills during Sunday’s practice, according to Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic. The 29-year-old has missed the last four games due to a right hip strain. Head coach Jordan Ott emphasized Booker’s understanding of his own body, noting his “incredible recovery” and ability to gauge when he’s ready to return. Ott praised Booker’s progress, stating that the player “knows how he’s supposed to feel” when he’s healthy and ready to play. Backup guard Jordan Goodwin, meanwhile, is recovering from a left calf strain. Ott revealed Goodwin is gradually increasing his activity, having returned to the court recently. While Booker is further along in his recovery, Goodwin is beginning to progress toward full participation. Ott noted that Goodwin’s return will be evaluated within the next week. The Suns’ roster has also seen other players dealing with injuries. Starting center Mark Williams, a restricted free agent this summer, has struggled in recent games. Over his past six contests, Williams has averaged 6.3 points and 6.7 rebounds while shooting 39.5% from the field—well below his season averages of 11.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 63.5% shooting. Coach Ott highlighted Booker’s potential to elevate Williams’ performance, stating that Booker’s return will “make all of our lives better,” not just for Williams but for the entire team. Jalen Green, another Suns player, has faced a significant shooting slump in his last four games. Averaging 12.8 points over that span, Green has shot just 21-of-75 (28.0%) from the field. Ott attributed part of Green’s struggles to his conditioning, as the player missed most of the season after repeatedly straining his right hamstring.#phoenix_suns #devin_booker #jordan_goodwin #mark_williams #jordan_ott
Devin Booker and Haywood Highsmith Return as Suns Prepare for Kings Matchup Phoenix Suns forward Devin Booker and sixth-year forward Haywood Highsmith are off the team’s injury report ahead of their matchup against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday. Booker, who has missed the last four games due to a right hip strain, is expected to return after working with the team’s rotation players in 5-on-5 basketball sessions over the weekend. The five-time All-Star has been the Suns’ leading scorer this season, averaging 24.7 points, 6.1 assists, and 3.9 rebounds per game. Highsmith, who signed with the Suns in late January, is set to make his season debut after recovering from surgery on a torn meniscus in his right knee in August 2025. The forward has been gradually returning to action and is now considered a likely contributor for the game. Suns head coach Jordan Ott confirmed Booker’s progress, noting he is in a good position to play. Other key players on the Suns’ injury list include Dillon Brooks (left hand fracture) and Jordan Goodwin (left calf strain), who remain sidelined. Khaman Maluach, who was previously listed as questionable with a right thumb sprain, is now available for the matchup. Sacramento’s Kings also face significant absences, with several key players out for the long term. Zach LaVine (finger tendon repair), Domantas Sabonis (meniscus repair), and De’Andre Hunter (retinal repair) are all sidelined. Starting forward Keegan Murray (ankle sprain) and rookie big man Dylan Cardwell (ankle sprain) are also unavailable. The Suns and Kings are set to tip off at 9 p.m. MST at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento. The game will be broadcast on 98.7 and the Arizona Sports app.#sacramento_kings #phoenix_suns #devin_booker #golden_1_center #haywood_highsmith
Devin Booker Returns with 17 Points as Suns Defeat Kings Devin Booker made his return to the Phoenix Suns lineup, contributing 17 points in the team’s victory over the Sacramento Kings. The game, played on March 3, 2026, marked a significant moment for the Suns as they navigated through a challenging stretch of the regular season. Booker’s performance came amid a series of injuries that had forced several key players to sit out, allowing others to step up and showcase their abilities. The Suns’ balanced effort against the Kings highlighted their resilience, with multiple players contributing to the win. Coach Noah Eagle and Grant Hill analyzed the team’s approach, noting that the Suns maintained composure throughout the game despite the Kings’ efforts to challenge them. The victory solidified the Suns’ position in the Western Conference, as they continue to compete for playoff relevance. Booker’s return was tempered by lingering concerns about his health. The star guard, who had been sidelined due to a hip strain, is set to be reevaluated in another week. Analyst Eric Samulski discussed the implications of Booker’s absence, emphasizing how it has created opportunities for players like Dillon Brooks and Grayson Allen to gain more meaningful minutes. Brooks, recovering from a broken hand, and Allen have stepped into larger roles, helping the Suns maintain their competitive edge. The Suns’ ability to adapt to injuries has been a key factor in their recent success. With Booker sidelined, the team leaned on its depth, particularly in games against the Portland Trail Blazers. Grayson Allen and Collin Gillespie emerged as critical contributors, providing scoring and defensive support.#sacramento_kings #phoenix_suns #devin_booker #coach_noah_eagle #grant_hill
