The Phoenix Suns, after a promising run to the NBA Finals in 2021, are facing significant challenges in the current season. Despite the excitement surrounding the formation of a new big three with Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal, and Devin Booker, the team is struggling to find its footing. Recently, the Suns suffered their 17th loss of the season against the Memphis Grizzlies, a game where they entered as favorites but fell short despite their star players.

Frustration is mounting within the organization as the team grapples with high expectations and large contracts. Booker expressed his concerns post-game, emphasizing the urgency to win and improve their playoff positioning. Currently, the Suns are in a precarious position, trailing behind the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers in the playoff race.
