The Portland Trail Blazers will take on the Phoenix Suns on the road for their final preseason game before the start of the 2023-24 NBA season. This game comes just a few weeks after the Suns and Blazers swapped some players as a part of the larger Damian Lillard trade.
The Suns received Jusuf Nurkic, Nassir Little, and Keon Johnson from the Blazers, and Portland got back Deandre Ayton in the deal. However, going back to Phoenix for the first time since the trade does not seem to be affecting Ayton according to an interview he did with AZ Central’s Duane Rankin.
