Jalen Green will miss Phoenix's first game against his former team, the Houston Rockets, on Nov. 24 in the return of Kevin Durant in Phoenix.
The Suns also received a small bump in NBA.com's power rankings, moving from No. 17 to 16. "The Suns will visit the 6-7 Blazers on Tuesday and then play eight of their next nine games against teams with winning records (seven of the nine against top-10 offenses)," wrote John Schuhmann.
Rodney Rogers, who played 12 seasons in the NBA, including nearly three seasons with the Phoenix Suns, where he won NBA Sixth Man of the Year, died Nov. 21, according to statements issued by Wake Forest University and the NBA. He was 54.
Brooks fouled out of the game with 18 seconds left with a team-high 22 points and Phoenix down a point. Collin Gillespie hit a short pull-up with 6.7 seconds left as the Suns closed on a 9-0 run in the game’s final 49 seconds.

The Suns’ housecleaning sent Durant to the Rockets for Brooks, Green, the No. 10 pick last July (which became Duke center Khaman Maluach) and second-rounders. The Suns previously spent four first-rounders (along with Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson) to get Durant from Brooklyn in 2023, so they recouped some of that. Additionally, Green is just 23.
