"Obviously I’m a player so I’m trying to play but it’s not up to me,” Dunn said.

Suns rookie Ryan Dunn is using his snub from the Rising Stars Game at NBA All-Star Weekend as motivation to improve his overall skill set.

Phoenix Suns superstar forward Kevin Durant and rookie Ryan Dunn both participated in Wednesday’s morning shootaround heading into matchup against Minnesota Timberwolves at Footprint Center to end a three-game homestand.

Bradley Beal started the second half for Dunn, who replaced him in the starting lineup beginning Jan. 6 at Philadelphia. Suns coach Mike Budenholzer moved Jusuf Nurkic and Beal to the bench starting that game.

Nurkic said he and Suns coach Mike Budenholzer didn’t talk for two months. This is consistent with him saying Budenholzer didn’t inform him about a decision not to play him Jan. 9 against Atlanta.

Phoenix Suns rookie forward Ryan Dunn will not play on Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers due to a sprained left ankle.

Suns center Jusuf Nurkic was unceremoniously benched.

Two teams widely rumored to be in the bidding for Jimmy Butler will attempt to demonstrate why they don't need the disgruntled superstar when the Phoenix Suns visit the Golden State Warriors on Friday night in San Francisco.

For those still holding onto optimism regarding the Phoenix Suns' chances at becoming a contender this season, they continue to test your faith.

Ryan Dunn was ruled out prior to tip-off due to an ankle sprain suffered early in Phoenix's victory over the Washington Wizards, so the Suns had to adapt once again. Head coach Mike Budenholzer opted to keep the same starting lineup intact that contributed to the victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday.

Anthony Edwards scored 33 points, Julius Randle added 28 and the Minnesota Timberwolves won their fourth straight game by beating the Phoenix Suns 121-113 on Wednesday night.
