Suns @ Clippers
Intuit Dome, Inglewood, CA

Phoenix Suns What To Watch:

Phoenix is changing on its own. Mike Budenholzer, the new head coach, replaces Frank Vogel at point guard with Tyus Jones. Budenholzer, who was born in Arizona and led the Milwaukee Bucks to a championship in 2021, will be returning home.

Mason Plumlee, a former Clipper, joined the Suns' returning core, which also includes Devin Booker and Kevin Durant, both of whom won gold with Team USA at the Olympics in Paris.

Jusuf Nurkic, center, and guards Bradley Beal and Grayson Allen return to a squad that did not make many significant acquisitions but, like the Clippers, could improve defensively under Budenholzer.

After starting 74 of his 75 games last season, Grayson Allen, who has been battling Achilles discomfort, will start on the bench. As Jones becomes a starter, the idea is that Allen will have more scoring opportunities with the second unit, at least for the time being.

"I believe that Grayson's only concern is winning," Budenholzer stated.

Josh Okogie, a forward for the Phoenix, will not play on Wednesday because of a hamstring issue.

 

LA Clippers What To Watch:

When the Los Angeles Clippers visit the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday in their season opening, they will start a new era while still battling the same persistent issues.

Eleven miles south in Inglewood, California, the Clippers will move into their own state-of-the-art arena after 25 years of sharing a downtown Los Angeles arena with the Lakers.

However, it appears that they have taken their previous problems with them.

Due to persistent knee problems, star forward Kawhi Leonard is sidelined indefinitely. Over the previous two seasons, he was only able to play 120 of 164 regular-season games. In two seasons, he only appeared in four of the team's eleven postseason games.

The problems for Los Angeles don't stop there, as Paul George left in free agency to join the Philadelphia 76ers. Guards Kris Dunn, Kevin Porter Jr., and Cam Christie, a second-round pick, forward Derrick Jones Jr., and center Mo Bamba are among the newcomers.

Tyronn Lue has long taken pride in his committed defense, which new assistant coach Jeff Van Gundy is expected to further hone. Last season, the former head coach and broadcaster served as a senior consultant for the Boston Celtics.

Last season, the Suns finished sixth in the Western Conference with a 49-33 record, while the Clippers ended fourth with a 51-31 record. The first round of the playoffs saw the elimination of both teams.
