After a rough Week 9, the Phoenix Suns were looking to rebound. Sub-.500 isn’t where anyone expected them to be, especially through 27 games of the regular season. But that is where they found themselves, uncomfortably slotted in as the 11th seed in the Western Conference standings.
They opened Week 10 with a loss at the hands of Luka Doncic and his 50-piece on Christmas night. Rumors of KD’s frustration were blown out of proportion by national media outlets as he should’ve been frustrated. We all were frustrated. But at no time did he request a trade and state he wanted out of Phoenix.
