Deandre Ayton called the Los Angeles Lakers' win over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday night emotional, after spending his early years in Phoenix.
The NBA has now released its L2M report on the Lakers-Suns matchup. Needless to say, it’s quite controversial.
The Suns acquired Green from Houston in the Kevin Durant trade before the 2025 draft. Green first injured his hamstring during training camp. He then reinjured it during a weeklong stay in China as the Suns played two preseason games against the Brooklyn Nets.
Games like the Suns’ loss to the Lakers on Sunday night are the ones that punch you right in the gut. They feel mucky. They feel gross. For a Phoenix team that lives on rhythm and disruption, this was one of those nights where it felt like the game was taken out of their hands by a whistle that never loosened up.
Phoenix Suns rookie 7-footer Khaman Maluach is averaging 16 points on 59.2% shooting, 11.8 rebounds and 2.8 blocks in five G League games this season.
