Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia, President James Jones to speak following playoff loss
Arizona’s Family to livestream press conference at 2:30 p.m. PHOENIX (AZFamily) — Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia and team President and General Manager James Jones will address the media following the team’s playoff loss several days ago.
Ishbia and Jones are expected to speak at 2:30 p.m. Arizona’s Family will livestream the press conference on our website, app and social media.
The end-of-season press conference comes on the heels of a disappointing playoff run, which saw the Suns swept in the First Round. The season was capped off by a 122-116 loss on Sunday, despite a 49-point effort from Devin Booker and 33 points from Kevin Durant. The four-game sweep was a gut punch for a team that entered the season with championship aspirations.
The star-studded trio of Booker, Durant and Bradley Beal looked great on paper, but ended with zero playoff wins. Questions remain on how Jones will maneuver around the league’s salary cap. The Big Three all have big salaries, and Grayson Allen recently received a $70 million, four-year extension. Questions are also circulating around head coach Frank Vogel and where he stands with the team.
