Christian Clark: Larry Nance Jr. has 1 year left on his deal. Asked him about an extension: “I just finished year 7. Willie is my 8th head coach. I have had 7 different general managers. I am so tired of it. … I would love to make this a permanent stay. But again, that’s not up to me.”

Deandre Ayton had a great half on the offensive end, but he’s got to put a body on somebody. Larry Nance Jr. and the Pelicans are punking him and the rest of the Suns on the offensive glass, and it’s been the biggest difference. – 8:39 PM
