The Phoenix Suns' troubles are visible on the court as indicated by Kevin Durant's reaction to a Mason Plumlee mistake and ominous post-game comments.
Plumlee tallied four points (1-1 FG, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds and one block in 18 minutes in Thursday's 124-116 loss to the Pelicans. Plumlee didn't do anything outstanding, but provided steady center play off the bench Thursday.
In his latest mock draft, Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman has the Suns selecting Auburn 6-foot-10 big man Johni Broome, a leading contender for national player of the year, with Cleveland's pick. Wasserman compared Broome to former Suns forward Markieff Morris and added:

Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer was honest when asked about why he hasn't played Nick Richards much in the fourth quarter.
De’Aaron Fox scored 11 straight points in the final three minutes and finished with 26 as San Antonio beat the Phoenix Suns 120-109, hours after learning Spurs star Victor Wembanyama was done for the season due to a blood clot in his right shoulder.
Phoenix and Memphis were tied, 137-137, at the end of regulation because of Ja Morant. He scored 15 of his 27 points for the Grizzles in the fourth quarter, and hit a game-tying shot before the end of regulation to push an extra period.
