Phoenix Suns center Nick Richards detailed the shock from playing against the Suns to then becoming a member of the Suns three days later.

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

Phoenix Suns' starting center Nick Richards had 20 points and a career-high 19 rebounds in their 119-109 win over the Washington Wizards on Saturday.

Suns coach Mike Budenholzer said he expects Richards to meet the team Friday in Detroit and get him up to speed on their offensive and defensive schemes. He foresees Richards making his Suns debut Saturday against the Pistons.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal and big Jusuf Nurkic practiced Friday heading into Saturday’s rematch against the Washington Wizards at Footprint Center to begin a three-game homestand. Beal is listed as probable for Saturday's game against his former team after missing Wednesday’s win over Brooklyn with a left ankle sprain to end a five-game road trip.

Bradley Beal and Nurkic were benched for the Jan. 6 game at Philadelphia. Nurkic played that game and the next against Charlotte in the second of a road back-to-back, but Suns coach Mike Budenholzer didn't play him the next two games against Atlanta and Utah.

The Charlotte Hornets traded Nick Richards to the Phoenix Suns in a move that was widely panned as a win-win for both sides. Charlotte flipped Richards for an active, defensive-minded wing in Josh Okogie and a handful of future second round draft picks, while Phoenix added an interior reinforcement to their championship-contending roster.

Nick Richards joins the Phoenix Suns postgame broadcast with sideline reporter Amanda Pflugrad to talk about the win and his monster double double on January 25th, 2025 against the Washington Wizards.

The Minnesota Timberwolves will face the Phoenix Suns at the Footprint Center. Despite a rocky season, the Suns have improved and with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, they could defeat the Timberwolves.

Don’t be surprised to see the Suns rising as the second half of the regular season unfolds. They have all the pieces to be much better than what their current record indicates.

If this season’s voting was held today, good luck figuring out what would happen.
