Suns Miss Out on Christmas Game for Second Consecutive Year
34 days agoThe Phoenix Suns will not be part of the Christmas Day NBA lineup for the second year in a row, marking a notable absence for a team that enjoyed a four-year run of holiday games from 2021 to 2024.
Historically, the Suns have a Christmas Day record of 13 wins and 9 losses. During their recent holiday appearances, they managed only one victory, which came in 2024 against the Denver Nuggets, where stars Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant combined for 54 points in a 110-100 win.
The decline in the Suns' national presence, particularly after the trade of Durant, has contributed to their exclusion from the holiday schedule. This year, the team joins the Houston Rockets, who also missed out despite finishing fifth in the Western Conference last season.
With the rise of teams like the San Antonio Spurs and the Suns' struggles, fans will have to wait at least another year to see their team featured on Christmas Day.
