The 2024-25 Phoenix Suns season officially looks lost after the team backed up an awesome first half showing against the Minnesota Timberwolves with an equally abysmal performance in the second half of the contest.

The Suns went into Sunday night's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves posting a massively disappointing 28-32 record after making many moves to improve what was seen as a letdown year in 2023-24.

Kawhi Leonard had his best game of the season in Sunday’s loss to the Lakers, but James Harden is in a funk and Norman Powell, Derrick Jones Jr. and Ben Simmons are trying to get healthy.

Norman Powell's absences have contributed to a 1-5 record since the All-Star break and the sixth seed in the West seemingly slipping away.

Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in back-to-back games, falling 108-102 Sunday night and 106-102 Friday night. Leonard led the way for the Clippers Sunday, contributing 33 points and ten rebounds, both season-highs for the six-time NBA All-Star.

The Phoenix Suns will have to scale a loaded and deep Western Conference to clinch a postseason spot after the All-Star break.
