The wait is almost over for Phoenix Suns basketball to return to our lives, with the team taking on the Los Angeles Lakers in preseason action this coming Friday. They will meet the same opponent once more in preseason play, with a trip to Macau to play the Brooklyn Nets twice sandwiched in between these meetings.
The game against the Lakers will be the Suns' first chance to see how their three rookies do against one of the better teams in the Western Conference, and all eyes will surely be on the potential matchup between rookie center Khaman Maluach and former first overall pick by the Suns, Deandre Ayton.
