Phoenix Suns are down their starting point guard, Tyus Jones and rookie big Oso Ighodaro for Saturday's game at Indiana.

A day after Charles Barkley said the Phoenix Suns “stink,” ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith called them “soft” based on what the “NBA people” are saying as he put it. A team with Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal that went into the season with championship aspirations shouldn’t have a losing record and be 12 th in the West even with a number of injuries.

The Phoenix Suns (15-18) play the second of their three-game road trip at the Philadelphia 76ers (14-19) on Monday.

Kevin Durant scored 25 points and Devin Booker added 20, but the Phoenix Suns (15-18) lost their fourth straight game, falling to the Indiana Pacers on the road Saturday, 126-108. This is the Suns' fourth straight loss, and the Pacers (18-18) swept the two-game season series.

According to Forbes’ Evan Sidery, for the Suns to trade Beal if he was to waive his no-trade clause, they would likely need to attach two first-round picks to offload his massive contract. With Phoenix having just one first-round pick in 2031, they may have to make another move to add extra draft capital.
