“Bro Really Gonna Retire Ringless”: Suns World Rocked as Devin Booker and Co. Preparing for Veteran’s Ouster with Huge Decision

The Phoenix Suns find themselves in a tricky situation with a 24-24 record in the Western Conference. The Suns seemed to have lacked the consistency this season that they are known for following a groin injury to Devin Booker during the December 28 loss against the Denver Nuggets, which sidelined the three-time All-Star for a while. Booker has been out of action for nearly a month and recent reports have suggested that he could undergo a revaluation on January 25. Since Booker’s injury, Phoenix has gone 6-13. Amid the troubles, the Suns fans were left shocked by a recent report that suggested that the Desert franchise is planning on taking a massive step pertaining to the exit of a veteran from the team.

As per a recent report from NBA Insider Mark Stein, the Phoenix Suns are looking to make some crucial changes in their roster considering the future in mind. Stein claimed that the Suns are looking to add some young talents to the roster, keeping in mind the departure of a veteran who has been with the team since 2020.
