A viral tweet from a Phoenix fan got Kevin Durant’s attention a few hours after Bradley Beal’s buyout formally ended the Suns’ unsuccessful superteam experiment. The two-time NBA champion responded angrily to the post.

Suns players Ryan Dunn and Oso Ighodaro are emphasizing a winning culture in the NBA Summer League. LAS VEGAS – New Phoenix Suns assistant coach DeMarre Carroll chuckled for a quick second when learning Ryan Dunn and Oso Ighodaro’s approach to NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.

The Phoenix Suns have one more chance to pick up a second win in Las Vegas. They’ve dropped three in a row after blitzing the Washington Wizards in their summer league opener. Phoenix is coming off an 89-85 loss Wednesday, July 16, to the Minnesota Timberwolves after leading by as many as 16 points in the first half.

Despite repeated playoff disappointments, Suns owner has firmly reiterated his commitment to Devin Booker as the franchise cornerstone.

And right now, the Phoenix Suns don’t have a culture. They have a coaching carousel. They have a new owner who likes to speak in manifestos.

The Phoenix Suns are coming off a 36-win season. New general manager Brian Gregory is taking aggressive steps to change that.

DeMarre Carroll worked with new Suns head coach Jordan Ott last season in Cleveland and in 2023-24 with the Los Angeles Lakers.

PHOENIX -- Phoenix Suns new head coach Jordan Ott has his work cut out for him after a busy summer that's practically flipped his roster upside down, with more changes expected to come. However, Ott - who is set to replace Mike Budenholzer as Phoenix's fourth head coach in as many seasons - has fans around the league ahead of his debut year.

Last season, the Phoenix Suns struggled mightily on the defensive end, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2020. With new editions to the roster through free agency and the draft, rookie head coach Jordan Ott and the Suns look to build a new culture designed around defense and toughness.
