The Phoenix Suns continue to be one of the biggest feel-good stories in the NBA this season.
Despite preseason predictions landing the Suns on the outside looking in at the playoff picture after a blockbuster trade sent Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets last summer, Phoenix is the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference through games played Jan. 13.
They’ve been able to accomplish that despite not having Jalen Green healthy enough to play.
Green, the 23-year-old guard who was the primary target coming back in the KD trade, has played just five quarters all season to this point due to a recurring hamstring injury.
