The Phoenix Suns have the most expensive roster in the NBA, and yet, with a little over half the season gone, they sit just two games over .500, good for just ninth in the Western

The NBA decided to change the All-Star game format this year with a four-team mini-tournament in which TNT’s Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Shaquille O'Neal will have a draft and select three eight-man teams from the 24 All-Stars. The Rising Stars champion from Friday will be the fourth team.

Phoenix Suns' forward Kevin Durant is slated for his 15th NBA All-Star Game at Chase Center in San Francisco in February.

Alexander-Walker was all over the place in Phoenix, and it meant everything to a team that was trying to find an identity.

The Suns are taking a strategic approach to the trade deadline, prioritizing their long-term vision and current roster stability over short-term gains. Their commitment to their star players and existing team chemistry is a clear sign of the optimism for the remainder of the season.

The Phoenix Suns (24-21) play the final of their homestand against the Minnesota Timberwolves (25-21) on Wednesday.

The Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat are among the teams expressing interest in Atlanta Hawks wing Bogdan Bogdanovic ahead of the NBA trade deadline, per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.

The NBA head coaches have to pick two guards, three frontcourt players and two "wild card" players at any position for the reserves. The West All-Stars have five frontcourt reserves in Davis, Jackson Jr., Sengun, Wembanyama and Jalen Williams.

"There has been some chatter since last night of the Suns pulling away from Jimmy Butler trade talks and focusing on improving their roster by moving Jusuf Nurkic. Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic is one name that keeps coming up in conversations," he wrote on Twitter/X.

A change could happen for the Atlanta Hawks in the 2024-25 NBA season as it’s been rumored that Bogdan Bogdanovic could be shipped by the Feb. 6 trade deadline.
