Jae Crowder: SO NO ONES GOING TO ADMIT THE NBA IS IN A WEIRD PLACE? THE LEAGUE IS PICKUP BALL NOW? WHAT HAPPENED TO TRYING TO EXPLOIT TEAMS WEAKNESS AND MAKING CHESS MOVES. WHAT HAPPENED TO GAMEPLANS? WATCHING GAMES THIS SEASON NOT JUST BC IM NOT PLAYING FEELS & LOOKS WEIRD. 🤦🏾♂️

Brooks brings some of the swagger Phoenix has lacked since Jae Crowder and Chris Paul were still on the roster, and one source described him as “one of the toughest, hardest-working, best defensive players.” Another described him as “a leader and an alpha,” which Phoenix could obviously use.
"A pigeon guarding me," Morant responded immediately. "Get a bucket, win the game." For the uninitiated fan, Morant's term may have been confusing. For NBA players, they nodded their heads in understanding. "It's just an NBA term," Jae Crowder explained to reporters while on the Suns three years ago. "You either say duck, or you say pigeon. If there's a duck out there on the court, it's a guy you want to attack. Pigeon, same thing."

Sacramento Kings forward Jae Crowder responded to a question Wednesday on X, formerly known as Twitter, in addressing why he didn't play his final season with the Phoenix Suns in 2022-23. Crowder was asked if it was over a "conflict" with former Suns coach Monty Williams and if he still wouldn't have been in Phoenix if that wasn't the case. In all caps, Crowder quoted the tweet and wrote, "THAT TRU AND ONE DAY I OWE TO THE FANS TO EXPLAIN I NEVER WANTED TO LEAVE AND THEY ASKED ME TO STAY HOME WHILE THEY TRADE ME. ITS A REASON MY TEAMMATES NEVER GOT MAD OR TALKED DOWN ON ME TO THE MEDIA. BC WE ALL WANTED ANOTHER SHOT AT FINISHING WHAT WE HAD STARTED."

Sean Cunningham: Kings list Keegan Murray (left ankle soreness) as doubtful for Wednesday’s game vs 76ers. Jae Crowder (lower back soreness) remains questionable.
