PHOENIX — The NBA admitted a mistake in the final seconds of the Phoenix Suns' ultimate win over the New York Knicks that could have been costly.

"The Suns hit big on Jordan Ott as their long-term answer at head coach," Forbes NBA insider Evan Sidery said. The Suns have cycled through coaches in recent years. Phoenix fired Monty Williams after the 2023 season, then later dismissed Frank Vogel and Mike Budenholzer after a pair of one-year stints.

Suns owner Mat Ishbia is in no rush to make a big deal before the Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline given Phoenix's 22-15 start to the season.

For Washington, new star Trae Young is out with a sprained MCL. He's played just ten games this season. Out alongside Young are all of Cam Whitmore (right shoulder), Jamir Watkings (G League) and Sharife Cooper (G League)

Devin Booker scored 31 points and Dillon Brooks added 27 as the Phoenix Suns beat the New York Knicks 112-107.

Bradley Beal's money on the books will make an impact as the Phoenix Suns approach the trade deadline with a competitive team.
