Phoenix Suns
April 10, 2025
The Phoenix Suns, the NBA’s most expensive roster, were officially eliminated from postseason contention after an eighth straight double-digit loss — this time 125-112 to the shorthanded Thunder. They will miss the play-in tournament.
Despite a roster packed with star power and a strong 8-1 start, injuries, inconsistency, and lack of culture-building doomed their season. Durant missed the final five games, Beal struggled with injuries, and coach Budenholzer never found a rhythm. At 35-45, they now face a long offseason and potential shakeups.
