The Phoenix Suns have been disappointing, and the majority of the blame has been placed on head coach Mike Budenholzer in recent weeks. The constant lineup changes, rotations, and other things haven’t resulted in success.

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.

Kevin Durant understands how the 'nature of the beast' works within the NBA, specifically with the Suns this season.

Mike Budenholzer was brutally honest about the Suns downward spiral coming out of the All-Star break and losing Thursday's game.

The Kings do have a little momentum and will look to ride that into their game against the Rockets in Houston on Saturday. After getting drubbed by the Golden State Warriors 132-108 a week ago, the Kings have won their last two games by an average of 29.5 points, albeit to weaker opponents, the Charlotte Hornets and Utah Jazz.

The Phoenix Suns are in the thick of the NBA's play-in race and, as it stands right now, are on the outside looking in.

The playmaking of Devin Booker and Kevin Durant helped the Suns to a 125-108 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Suns are now sitting at 27-32 with just over a month left in the season following a majorly disappointing 124-116 defeat at the hands of the New Orleans Pelicans last night.
