Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton may not return to the Phoenix Suns next season, according to a report and analysis from Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Appearing on ESPN’s NBA Today show, Wojnarowski reminded viewers that Ayton “did not feel valued” in Phoenix at the start of the season. He also speculated that Ayton would receive a maximum-level offer from other NBA teams, which the Suns may not be interested in matching.
"Deandre Ayton did not feel valued by this Phoenix organization... [He] is going to get a max contract in the marketplace, somewhere.
