Die Phoenix Suns haben sich nach nur einer Saison schon wieder von Trainer Frank Vogel getrennt. Keine zwei Wochen nach dem Erstrunden-Aus in den NBA-Playoffs gegen die Minnesota Timberwolves gab das Basketball-Team die Entscheidung bekannt. «Wir sind zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass wir für unser Team einen anderen Cheftrainer brauchen», wurde General Manager James Jones in der Mitteilung zitiert. Die Suns-Stars Kevin Durant, Devin Booker und Bradley Beal bekommen damit zur kommenden Saison schon den dritten Cheftrainer binnen drei Jahren.

According to NBA Insider Shams Charania from The Athletic, the Suns signed Bol to a one-year fully guaranteed minimum salary deal, received three second-round picks from the Magic to swap picks, and traded away point guard Cameron Payne (plus a second and cash) to the San Antonio Spurs for a future second-round pick. With the 2026 first-round swap between the Suns and Magic, Phoenix already swapped their 2026 pick with Washingto...

Bol Bol is now a free agent after clearing waivers, as the Orlando Magic declined to guarantee his contract. The Magic traded for Bol in February 2022, and re-signed him during the 2022 offseason, as the contract included a non-guaranteed salary for 2023 into 2024. The 23-year-old inked a two-year, $4.4 million deal and will have to find another team, as it would be his third team in his NBA tenure. The 7’2″ center forward should have plenty of interest on the market, as a few teams stand out as candidates to bring in the South Sudanese big man. The Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks are ...

Rivalries in sports are nothing new. Usually, though, it’s between two human beings—whereas Devin Booker’s is with a species that went extinct about 75 million years ago.

With 6.5 seconds left in the game, Booker was fouled and went up to shoot his free throws. Scotiabank Arena does not permit fans these days, but the home team still had a trick up its sleeve. The dinosaur mascot went behind the basket to distract him. The shot ended with a little d...
