“I’m telling him, we need the Wizards Beal. I’m reminding him. He has to play a role on this team and he has to take a backseat, but just reminding him you’re one of the best basketball players in the world.”

For those wondering, signing Isaiah Thomas for the rest of the season means the Suns’ 15-man playoff roster is set. Saben Lee, Ish Wainright or Udoka Azubuike were in contention for that 15th spot, but none of them will be playoff-eligible as two-way contracts – 7:46 PM

“I’m telling him, we need the Wizards Beal,” an excited Thomas said after Tuesday’s shootaround about Beal, the second all-time leading scorer in Wizards franchise history as those two were teammates in Washington. “I’m reminding him that he is that each and every day. He has to play a role on this team and he has to take a backseat more times than not, but just reminding him that you’re one of the best basketball players in the world.” -via Arizona Republic / April 9, 2024

ClutchPoints asked Devin Booker, the Suns’ star guard, what Isaiah Thomas has meant to the team. “The ultimate teammate, ultimate professional, just ultimate hooper,” said Booker, who is averaging 27.6 points and 6.9 assists in his ninth season. “Somebody in the past that I’ve always had a lot of respect for, but I’ve never got to develop a relationship like we are now. I don’t take it for granted. I know what he’s capable of.” -via Clutch Points / April 4, 2024
