The Phoenix Suns ’ G League team, Valley Suns, opens the G League playoffs on April 1, 2025, at the Santa Cruz Warriors on ESPNU. In their inaugural season, the Valley Suns (20-14) are a fifth seed in the West, while the Warriors (20-14) are a fourth seed. Santa Cruz is Golden State's G League team.

"The Suns don't necessarily want to make Durant available in trade talks and see him depart the desert, but this situation may be out of their control at this point," Siegel said.

Booker's shoes have been heavily promoted by the company and Booker directly. In addition to Booker's Nike Book 1 social media and billboard campaign, or promoting them at major tastemaker events such as Miami's Art Basel, he's had two commercials for Book 1s over the past year.

The Suns, led by Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, are currently one spot out of play-in contention, as they are the 11th seed in the Western Conference. It is fair to say that the Suns have been a disappointment, and that's saying the least.

Two play-in spots are realistically up for grabs. Right now, the Suns are on the outside looking in, but things can change quickly if they can get back on track. Dallas won against Orlando somewhat unexpectedly, and the Suns have now dropped two straight, putting them at the 11th seed for now.

Here's a look at the Western Conference playoff standings and where the Phoenix Suns find themselves in the battle to make the play-in.

Golden State has been a different squad for the most part since acquiring Jimmy Butler, but the Timberwolves have proven to be a matchup nightmare at all levels for the Suns - and the Clippers are hitting an even greater stride while also simply having a better all-around roster compared to the Warriors.

Mike Budenholzer deflected a question regarding his job security with the Suns as their next head coach next season.

The Phoenix Suns will be desperate to give their play-in hopes a jolt when they host the red-hot Houston Rockets on Sunday.
