MAT ISHBIA SAYS he's never had a cup of coffee. He doesn't need caffeine, or an alarm clock.

On Tuesday, he'd been up and going since 3:30 a.m. His Phoenix Suns were a disappointing 35-26, ravaged by injuries and inconsistency, and preparing for the NBA to formally award the franchise the 2027 All-Star Game. His Phoenix Mercury were in the middle of executing a $100 million plan to build a 123,000-square-foot training facility.
