The Suns (36-46) failed to make the playoffs for the first time since the 2019-20 season, which was also their last losing season. They entered the season as the NBA’s first $400-million team under team owner Mat Ishbia, with three max-contract players — Booker, Durant and Beal — making a total of $150 million.

Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant won’t play in the regular season finale April 13 against the Sacramento Kings at Golden 1 Center. Suns coach Mike Budenholzer confirmed the decision before Friday's (April 11) home finale against the San Antonio Spurs at PHX Arena. He's out of the April 11 game as well.
