As we reflect on the 2024–25 Phoenix Suns season, the list of highlights is painfully short. A gritty win here, a flash of effort there. There were a few solitary moments that barely broke the monotony of a 36–46 campaign. This was a season defined less by achievement and more by unmet expectations, destined to be referenced for years as one of the most disappointing in franchise history.
And yet, if there was a glimmer of light in the darkness — something we often celebrated here at Bright Side — it came from the rookies.
Ryan Dunn and Oso Ighodaro, with their youth, bounce, and unrelenting energy, brought life to a team that often looked like it was stuck in a trance.
