The NBA world is full of surprises and has constantly found ways to entertain us even off-court. The Phoenix Suns tried to do the same for its players on Tuesday’s matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers.

In view of the ongoing coronavirus, the season was resumed with a lot of measures kept in mind. Basketball fans all over the world were pleased to hear about the season restart. Little did they know of the difficulties the players would have to face for this. The Walt Disney Disney World Complex in Orlando invited 22 teams to play in the season. The Orlando Bubble is a concept that enables the NBA to keep social distancing measures and regular testing in check. The toughest part is that the players have to stay away from families and friends for the entire duration of the season.

The Phoenix Suns have shown tremendous effort to reach the Western Conference playoffs. Devin Booker, Mikal Bridges, and DeAndre Ayton are the stars of this team. The Suns are going undefeated with seven consecutive wins ever since the season resumed.

In their matchup against the Sixers, they came up with a unique way to introduce their lineups. They had family members and friends to do it for them from the comfort of their homes. The Suns’ Twitter handle posted the video along with the reaction of the players.
