“Another World Cup is coming up, and I want to be there,” he says when asked about returning to the national team. “There haven’t been so many Filipino Americans in the [NBA] league, and Filipinos, period. So knowing that I get to represent that and kind of change the narrative in any way that I can, that’s what I’m trying to do. Hopefully, we can see those dudes [Jalen Green and Dylan Harper] in a Gilas jersey at some point.”

The Phoenix Suns have waived guard Jordan Schakel.

Duane Rankin: Still on vacation. Still working. Sources inform @azcentral Duop Reath is a training camp invite for Phoenix Suns, who begin camp Sept. 29.

It was only a moment, a random encounter on an ordinary day, but Sam Presti never forgot it. A 17-year-old high school gym rat on his way to play Division III basketball, Presti was at the Lexington Club, a fitness center in suburban Boston, one day in the 1990s when he saw a man across the gym. The man did not look like much. A shade above 6 feet. Medium build. Probably in his 30s with an office job. So, when he walked over to Presti and asked to play one-on-one, Presti thought, All right, I’ll give it to this guy. Then the game began. And the man kicked his ass. Completely humiliated him in an empty gym. Presti soon learned why: The man was not just a desk jockey at a local real estate firm. He was Jim McCaffrey, a former star guard at Holy Cross who the Phoenix Suns had drafted a decade earlier.

If there is a chance, Steve Kerr and the Golden State Warriors would love to have Devin Booker join their side. According to seasoned Warriors and Bay Area reporter Tim Kawakami, the Dubs are ready to surrender tons of assets that would let them have the Phoenix Suns star. “I think the Warriors like him too much, if you ask me. But they love him. Steve loves him. Booker loved playing for Steve," Kawakami claimed. "I know the Warriors would be first in line saying, ‘We got three first-round picks we can give you.’”
PHNX Suns: "This is the time for him NOW." @StephenPG3 thinks Khaman Maluach is ready to step up in the absence of Mark Williams, who will miss extended time after shoulder surgery.
John Gambadoro: This injury will have Mark Williams out several months from what I am told. There is no timetable on his return at this point.
