The Phoenix Suns failed to make any major moves during this year’s trade deadline buzz, sparking some frustration from the fans. The 26-28 Suns resume play post All-Star break Thursday.

Where is every NBA team coming out of 2025 NBA All-Star break? Who would be in NBA playoffs, NBA play-in tournament today?

“Experiment over,” Buckley wrote. “This is Kevin Durant's third season alongside Devin Booker in Phoenix and their second alongside Bradley Beal. This should, in theory, be when everything is coming together, yet the Suns are coming apart at the stitches. Had the campaign closed at intermission, they would've been denied even a play-in spot.”

The San Antonio Spurs host the Phoenix Suns at the University of Texas campus at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas on Thursday, Feb. 20.

The Suns have had a disappointing season, but they are 23-12 with Booker and Durant in the lineup, and with Beal also playing today, that's just gravy. In addition, with Wembanyama unlikely to suit up, San Antonio won't be able to take advantage of the Suns' weakness at center.
