Someone tell the Phoenix Suns that the 2026-27 season has already begun.

Suns, Devin Booker Handed Early Reality Check

On opening night, Phoenix wasn’t up to the task as it allowed 21 unanswered points to begin, setting the tone for a 41-point loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.

The loss was as disappointing as it was embarrassing, prompting Devin Booker to call it a “wake-up call” for the team. But how discouraging is it that the team needed a wake-up call in the first game of the season?

PHNX Suns’ Gil, Stephen and Aryton discuss the fallout from opening night and more, looking ahead to the Suns’ next challenge that falls on the weekend.
