Jae Crowder’s strained relationship with the Suns reportedly took another turn for the worse on Sunday as the team begins its preparation for the 2022–23 season.
The veteran forward has reached a mutual agreement with the organization to not participate in training camp as the two sides work to find a trade, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania. Phoenix is set to host media day on Monday before opening training camp on Tuesday.
While the reasons behind the expected parting remain unclear, Crowder, 32, has shared a number of messages on social media expressing his apparent discontent with the club throughout the offseason.
