There are a number of obstacles that need to be overcome for Butler to be wearing a Suns jersey before season's end. For starters, Miami Heat president Pat Riley would likely need to loosen up just a touch. However, it extends much further than that.

The Phoenix Suns (19-20) play the second of their five-game road trip at the Washington Wizards (6-32) on Thursday.

Bradley Beal and Tyus Jones will face their former team, the Washington Wizards, on Thursday at Capital One Arena. “It’s always fun, second home,” said Beal, who scored 15,391 points for the Wizards, second only to Hall of Famer Elvin Hayes with 15,551.

The Phoenix Suns head to Capital One Arena to face the Washington Wizards in a non-conference matchup. The Suns are 19-20, which puts them in 11th place in the Western Conference. The Wizards are 6-32, which puts them in last place in the Eastern Conference.

If Nick Richards doesn't help the Suns right the ship this season, they soon may be facing existential questions about the core of their roster.

The 27-year-old Richards, who is averaging 8.9 points and 7.5 rebounds per game this season, could be the Suns' new starting center.

Kevin Durant and the Suns got more physical in the third quarter, cutting into the Hawks' lead to make it 89-87. Durant (game-high 27 points) was nearly a perfect 6-of-7 and added both of his steals in the third. Devin Booker has 21 points.

The Phoenix Suns are looking to upgrade their center position and they reportedly have added a new target to their list.

The Phoenix Suns appear to be scrambling to fix their roster, but the damage has likely been done. They've got to roll with what they have.
