Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker says Nick Richards has been doing "great" since the trade with Charlotte on Jan. 15.

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.

PHOENIX — Devin Booker stood at his locker late Sunday night. The Phoenix Suns had just beaten the Charlotte Hornets on their home court, hardly a reason for celebration. But the effort had given the struggling Suns their third win in a row and their fourth in five games since coach Mike Budenholzer altered the lineup.

As always, the NBA trade deadline provides ample storylines, with marquee names potentially on the move, contenders looking to bolster their respective rosters for a playoff push and some organizations fully committing to a second-half tank. The major storylines currently captivating the NBA community are:

It's been weeks since any team has been able to figure out a way to slow down Phoenix Suns stars Kevin Durant and Devin Booker ... some more run on Monday if Jusuf Nurkic isn't able to play.

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.

The Phoenix Suns have struggled this season, but they could retool their roster by swapping Bradley Beal for the Chicago Bulls' available duo.

The Suns did win both games with Beal out of the lineup thanks to incredible games from Devin Booker and Kevin ... they will still be without Jusuf Nurkić who is still recovering from an illness.

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.
