Northern Arizona Suns change name to Rodeo Clowns

The team you once knew as the Northern Arizona Suns is no more.

On Monday the most attractive entertainment option in the NBA G League announced they were dumping the name that the franchise has been associated with since 2016. For one day, anyway.

On January 19th the crown jewel of Prescott Valley will be known as the “Rodeo Clowns.”

Rodeo Clown prez Chris Presson weighs in:

“It’s about being unique, fun, and different. It’s not just about Prescott Valley and Chino and Dewey, it’s about the western heritage for the region as a whole.
