All of the Suns are excited to finally face someone who is not a teammate, someone they can screen a little harder or take more enjoyment in seeing miss a shot.
Henry Sims relishes a game chance to prove himself as much as he needs to seize it.
The Suns open their preseason tonight against Sacramento in the first event at their home court since it was renamed Talking Stick Resort Arena. They have three weeks and six preseason games to get ready for the regular-season opener.
Sims has that much time to prove he should stick for that opening-night roster.
