Suns face Portland and Ayton again. How will Deandre redeem himself after a lackluster performance just a few nights ago. Stay tuned to find out on Monday night. Go Suns!!!

Everyone should play tonight besides Bradley Beal and Damion Lee. Eric Gordon is GTD with hip injury.

Nurkic will rest in this one.

Love it. Sucks Yuta won't play tonight but awesome to see Eubanks and GA in the starting line up. I think both guys are going to very well

Any word on DA?

https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/nba/suns/2023/10/16/blazers-big-deandre-ayton-back-in-phoenix-for-first-time-since-trade-to-face-suns/71207923007/

Deandre Ayton was back in Phoenix putting up shots Monday morning at Footprint Center wearing a black No. 2 Blazers practice jersey and talking to his new teammates with his hair braided up.

He looks the same, shoots the same, but life is certainly different for him.

The Suns traded Ayton to Portland in a three-team deal a week before training camp that sent Damian Lillard to Milwaukee and brought 7-footer Jusuf Nurkic from the Blazers to the Suns.

Ayton made his first trip to the Valley since then, a place where he had tremendous highs and crushing lows, but won't play against the Suns on Monday night, Blazers coach Chauncey Billups said in his pregame press conference.

Earlier Monday morning sounded as if he was going to play against his former team for the second time this preseason, but let it be known he had no emotional feelings towards the matchup.

Waking up at 4 to watch a preseason game? That's devotion. Our big 3 may play what, a quarter?

I don't get too much out of the preseason. Especially when we have 82 games to watch. Haven't watched much yet. May try and watch some on the laptop while watching the football game here.

I know. :evil:
But I'd rather Nurkic sit out in the preseason since it doesn't mean anything anyway. :P
