NBA Communications: Phoenix Suns head coach Jordan Ott and Charlotte Hornets head coach Charles Lee have been named the NBA Western and Eastern Conference Coaches of the Month, respectively, for games played in January.
The Memphis Grizzlies are trading former Defensive Player of the Year Jaren Jackson Jr. to the Utah Jazz in a significant trade that will involve three future first-round picks heading back to Memphis, a league source confirmed to The Athletic. The picks Memphis is receiving are a 2027 first-rounder (the most favorable between Cleveland, Minnesota and Utah), the Los Angeles Lakers’ 2027 first-rounder (top-four protected) and the Phoenix Suns’ 2031 first-rounder (unprotected), according to the source.

Draymond Green: I know everyone is looking for a response to Dillon Brooks’ comments about podcast. He was speaking on me and Paul George doing podcasting. He said they're not good at basketball, so focus on hoops. I don't really feel the need to get in back and forth. If I was Dillon Brooks I wouldn't have too much love for this podcast either, being how he was annihilated on this podcast, possibly aided in him being traded away from the Memphis Grizzlies where he ultimately said he really enjoyed playing there. So I get it. I completely get it. And yeah he said we talk too much on our podcast, but he's been kind of going on other people's streams and just like talking too much, if you will. I found it funny. I thought it was cute like those guys talk too much on those podcast. There are some people that you can go talk to that about. You say they're not good at basketball. When I started this podcast, what made guys really comfortable with having these podcast was because I was an All-Star and an NBA champion in the same year. We heard that that noise before.
Then there's the premise of Green's age (35), particular play type and strong personality. I found it noteworthy that various league figures with knowledge of the situation pointed to how the Phoenix Suns, who sources say are still actively looking for frontcourt additions, would have been an ideal potential trade partner … at least until Dillon Brooks arrived in the desert via the Suns' deal last June that sent Durant to Houston and established himself as The Valley's new cultural heartbeat.
Duane Rankin: Suns injury report at Blazers: Jalen Green (left hip contusion/right hamstring injury management) QUESTIONABLE. Devin Booker (right ankle sprain) OUT. #Suns
NBA Communications: Phoenix Suns guard-forward Dillon Brooks and Charlotte Hornets guard-forward Brandon Miller have been named the NBA Western and Eastern Conference Players of the Week, respectively, for Week 15 of the 2025-26 season (Jan. 26 – Feb. 1).
Draymond Green on Dillon Brooks: What made guys really comfortable with having these podcasts was because I was an All-Star and a world champion, NBA champion in the same year… Say Draymond name I get a little more attention. That’s cute. Unfortunate that he wasn’t able to make his first All-Star game.

Justin Russo: Final: Clippers 117, Suns 93. That’s a massive win without James Harden. Everyone contributed. Jordan Miller was fantastic off the bench, Kawhi Leonard had 25-8-5, and Ivica Zubac was monstrous. Clippers have won 17 of 21. They’re 23-25. Up next: home tomorrow vs 76ers.
Duane Rankin: UPDATE: Jordan Ott on Devin Booker (right ankle sprain) and Jalen Green (right hamstring injury management and left hip contusion): "Book is making tremendous progress. Obviously been on the court multiple times. Trending in a good spot and Jalen, it's just the fall. The hamstring seemed to be good. Everything was good until that fall. We're going to be smart here. Everyone saw the fall and how hard it was. Mechanically, we want everything to be right. His back to be feeling right, his hip to be feeling right, but it appears to be everything was good with the comeback on the hamstring." More on Jalen Green: "He just wants be out there. His teammates want him to be out there. We want him to be out there, but there's no pressure from us. We want him back, we want him healthy. We want him with the speed that he has. Everything has to be right. It was great to see him out there just in general, just to see him out there. You could feel his energy. Even after the fall, I felt the impact and felt just an unlucky bounce at this point, but he'll be out there as soon as he can." On hip being the concern right now with Green: "It's the soreness piece right now. Tough fall. He was stiff. Yesterday, he was stiff. Today he took a big jump forward and feels a lot better." #Suns
