The Phoenix Suns will face the LA Clippers for their second game of the 2025-26 season. This will be one of 12 NBA games scheduled for Friday.
The 2024-25 season was nothing short of a failure for Phoenix as the team failed to reach the playoffs despite fielding a core of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. Over the summer, the team has made several changes, trading Durant to the Rockets to acquire Jalen Green.
The Suns also added much-needed depth with the acquisitions of Dillon Brooks, Jordan Goodwin, Nigel Hayes-Davis and Mark Williams.
The Clippers, meanwhile, have also upgraded the roster after crashing out of the first round of the playoffs last season. The team acquired Bradley Beal on a two-year deal and also brought back Chris Paul. Moreover, they acquired front-court depth by signing Brook Lopez and trading for John Collins.
