Jusuf Nurkic doesn't think that he will be traded from the Phoenix Suns ahead of the deadline, and he has a reason.

The Phoenix Suns may have to keep Jusuf Nurkić around this season due to his large contract according to a recent report.

The Phoenix Suns provided an injury update about their duo ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Washington Wizards.

On Tuesday, the Suns traded their 2031 unprotected first-round pick to the Jazz in exchange for first-round picks in 2025, 2027 and 2029.

Dan Favale of Bleacher Report gave every single team a letter grade at the official halfway point of the season - and the Suns were given an undeniably poor mark. More from Favale as to why the Suns received an F+ 43 games into the season:

Multiple teams have made bets of some size that Phoenix will be terrible between 2026 and 2031. And those bets may pay off.

If Nick Richards doesn't help the Suns right the ship this season, they soon may be facing existential questions about the core of their roster.

A new report suggests the Phoenix Suns may not use the first-round picks they just acquired in a rumored Jimmy Butler trade.

Phoenix currently sits 10th in the Western Conference standings with a 21-21 record. This is not what they expected after starting the season 8-1 and having one of the NBA’s highest payrolls, mainly due to their superstar trio of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal.

As we wind down to the NBA Trade Deadline on Thursday, February 6, many teams are looking for upgrades to their roster. Some want to trade away their best players as they tank, while others just need to shake things up.

The Phoenix Suns returning 3-2 after a five-game road trip are expected to be at full strength Saturday against the Washington Wizards as Jusuf Nurkić (reconditioning) and Bradley Beal (probable, left ankle sprain) return to the lineup.
