Ahead of the last of a five-game road trip against the Brooklyn Nets, the Phoenix Suns are preparing to be without star guard Bradley Beal and bruising center Jusuf Nurkić.

The Phoenix Suns may have made a trade for him late Wednesday evening before the team clashes against the Washington Wizards, but newly-acquired center Nick Richards’ debut for his new team will have to wait for another day.

Jusuf Nurkic has a few surprise trade suitors amid his demotion from the Suns starting lineup, at least according to the betting world.

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green expressed regret once again after a comment from his former teammate, Jordan Poole, possibly reignited lingering tensions between the two NBA players.

According to Bovada, the Washington Wizards have the best odds (+300) of landing Nurkić in a trade. They are followed by the Miami Heat (+400), Houston Rockets (+400) and Detroit Pistons (+400).
