John Gambodoro: I expect the Phoenix Suns to fully guarantee Jordan Goodwin's contract today. In late June, the Lakers picked up their team option on Goodwin’s $2.35MM contract for the upcoming season, which carried just a $25K guarantee. Phoenix inherited Goodwin’s full contract via the waiver claim. He has been a huge rotation piece and key to their success averaging 9.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.4 steals in 21.8 minutes per game.

Duane Rankin: "It was an onslaught early." Jordan Ott as Suns trailed by as many as 20 in 1st half, but cut deficit to two late in third quarter before yielding a 24-5 run in loss to Cavs. "Our fight to get back. We did respond." On Jordan Goodwin on setting franchise record for most rebounds for a guard off the bench with 15 (8 offensive): "Same Goody. His juice, his energy is contagious. We needed it. We needed all of it. He's frustrated at himself for not finishing some of those.
"It was an onslaught early."

When Dillon Brooks' shot bounced off the backboard with the clock winding down at Mortgage Matchup Center on Thursday night, it looked like the Warriors and Phoenix Suns were heading to overtime tied 98-98. But then Moses Moody was whistled for a foul as he went to grab the rebound, and Suns guard Jordan Goodwin sank a free throw with 0.4 seconds left to give Phoenix the 99-98 win. Warriors coach Steve Kerr couldn't believe that's what it came down to for a Golden State team that has struggled to close out games as of late. "Tonight we executed really well," Kerr told reporters after the game. "It's hard to believe that the game was decided on that call, you know, on an air ball that hits the side of the backboard, and guys behind the bench told me that Moses got all ball. Everybody's tangled up ... That, to me, it better be a foul to decide the game on a play like that. "So, disappointing that we didn't get to go to overtime because I thought our guys executed and did a great job in the last few minutes of giving ourselves a chance."
Mat Ishbia: I'm putting myself out there. I'm going to stand up for our guys. What we're going to do differently in Phoenix is, I'm going to stand up. You talk bad about Dillon Brooks, or Devin Booker, or Jordan Goodwin — I will stand up for them. I'm the owner. I'm supposed to be... No, no. I'm here. I'm here with it. "If you say we’re going to have the worst defense in the league, I’ve got to say — everyone can... I feel like the national media sometimes doesn't really know what we’re doing. "By the way, we deserve to not be looked at highly. We didn’t have a good couple of years — I get it. I’ll take the blame. But you know, Bill (Simmons) made a comment, and I thought it was way out of line. And I have no disrespect — all respect — for Bill. But he was wrong, and I told him that. And I have no problem putting that out in public. "And guess what? If I’m wrong, I promise — everyone will point it out, as you pointed out. And when we started 1–4, I think people thought it was fun to talk bad about me again. And I... I enjoy it. I relish in it. Because I know we’re doing the right things in Phoenix, and the results will show. It might not happen day one, but it will happen over time. And I’m excited for it."

Kellan Olson: Ryan Dunn and Mark Williams are out, per Suns. Grayson Allen and Jordan Goodwin remain questionable.
Teammate Jordan Goodwin and official Tre Maddox led Brooks back to the Phoenix bench while the play was reviewed. This was not their first confrontation. In the first half, Brooks had hip-checked Adams, knocking him to the court. Udoka went onto the court to check on his 7-footer. He said something to Brooks. Brooks responded. Udoka laughed. After the game, Brooks said Udoka accused him of flopping. Brooks said he disagreed. In fact, he had thought the Rockets had flopped all night, at one point calling Houston center Alperen Şengün a “flopping a–.” “I’ve never seen so many flops being rewarded on the other side,” Brooks said. “It honestly felt like I was in a FIBA game. Like playing basketball in FIBA, where you just get rewarded for flopping. That killed every single run. Couldn’t be physical, but the Rockets were physical, grabbing and holding. And when we tried to do it, there were calls right away. Got to fix that somehow, someway. They got to get in the lab and watch these things because that’s like every night.”
Shams Charania: Training camp battle victory in Phoenix: the Suns are keeping guard Jordan Goodwin as their 14th standard roster player entering the new season, per sources. Goodwin averaged 12.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 19 minutes in preseason.
Jake Fischer: Sacramento and New York were the two teams that I was told back in Las Vegas were the top contenders for Ben Simmons and his two best options. But we've also been told that Boston and Phoenix are teams that have ra made contact with his camp and his representation. The Suns I think make a little bit less sense now that they have brought in Jordan Goodwin after claiming him off waivers from the Lakers. And Boston, I think their situation is still a little bit murky being that they are absolutely still going to be open and engaged on trade conversations for Anfernee Simons and George Niang, but right now there's a bit of a Ben Simmons sweep stakes going on at the the bottom of the barrel of the NBA free agency open market period.
