FLAGSTAFF – The Philadelphia 76ers are still waiting on the fruit of a three-team trade in 2015 with Phoenix and Milwaukee.
So are the Suns in a way. While the Suns gave up the rights to a Los Angeles Lakers first-round draft choice that is top-three protected in the next draft, the Brandon Knight that Phoenix targeted in that trade may just be arriving.
Knight has averaged 18.9 points and 5.1 assists over 1 ½ seasons with the Suns but has never felt as healthy or as at home as he does entering this training camp. Knight’s past two seasons ended in ankle and sports hernia surgeries for injuries that kept him to 63 appearances with the Suns.
