The Suns drama between Jusuf Nurkic and Mike Budenholzer had some interesting analysis from DeMarcus Cousins about Nurkic's role.
Before the Suns game on Monday, Devin Booker had a full-circle moment with USA Basketball team director, Grant Hill.
Devin Booker scored 26 points, Kevin Durant added 24 and the surging Phoenix Suns survived a late scare for a 111-109 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night.
Kevin Durant called out Mason Plumlee, asking, “What are you doing?” after Plumlee attempted a flashy behind-the-back pass.
Nurkic said he and Suns coach Mike Budenholzer didn’t talk for two months. This is consistent with him saying Budenholzer didn’t inform him about a decision not to play him Jan. 9 against Atlanta.
Suns coach Mike Budenholzer provides updates on Bradley Beal, Jusuf Nurkic and what he wants to see improved in the second half.
