Here we are. After less than a week of training camp, we will have Phoenix Suns basketball tomorrow night. The team heads over to Palm Desert to play the Los Angeles Lakers, and we know eyes will be on this game, quite simply because the national media can’t squeeze enough juice out of the Bronny James story to fill their glass.
While the games don’t count, it doesn’t mean they don’t matter. Sure, we’re not going to see advanced offensive or defensive schemes, nor will we see heavy minutes from the starters. But the minutes still matter.
