PHOENIX — Dario Saric didn't have his phone on him when he found out the Timberwolves traded him to Phoenix so they could move up in the draft from No. 11 to No. 6 and select Jarrett Culver.
His phone was charging while he was having dinner with his friend, who was about to get married that weekend. Another friend got the news on his phone and told Saric, who then saw the flood of messages pour in on his phone.
"The first 15 minutes I was like …" Saric said. Then he paused and wore a stunned expression on his face.
