Rookie hazing is nothing new. In any sport, first-year players often find themselves tasked with odd jobs. Carrying luggage. Doing laundry. Sporting funny-looking backpacks?

The Phoenix Suns are gearing up for their first official road trip of the season. Although the game in Palm Desert against the Los Angeles Lakers is just preseason, the bonding that happens on the road is invaluable.

Today, the team boarded their flight to Palm Springs. Side note: has anyone flown into Palm Springs? It’s terrifying! If you’ve ever driven through the Coachella Valley, you’ve probably noticed the iconic windmills.
