Cameron Johnson is ready for a bigger role in Phoenix, but the Suns depth could take a hit, pending the return for Crowder. – 4:57 PM

Apologies to the Jamison Crowder family. His 99-yard catch for Duke in 2012 is the longest vs Miami, not today’s 98-yarder by MTSU. My fault. – 9:28 PM

Jae Crowder appears ready to move on from the Suns as trade rumors continue to swirl. Which teams should be interested?
For @basketbllnews, five destinations stand out for a potential Crowder deal to come together before training camp opens on Tuesday: basketballnews.com/stories/examin…9:03 PM

On Bossman’s tweet-and-delete, forcing the Suns’ hand and a bunch of Jae Crowder trades that might make sense: bit.ly/3DYU5FU3:09 PM

The Suns already had 99 problems, and now Bossman is one. For @PHNX_Suns, I wrote about this breaking point and whipped up a bunch of Jae Crowder trades: https://t.co/iB8mea6Yko pic.twitter.com/o8Een6TzK710:03 AM

Per source, WQAM-560 has parted ways with Jonathan Zaslow and is moving morning personalities Brendan Tobin and Leroy Hoard to midday talk show slot. Joe Rose/Zach Krantz will now be simulcast on WQAM and 790 The Ticket, just as afternoon hosts Marc Hochman/Channing Crowder are. – 5:58 PM

There will be plenty to watch in #Suns training camp.
1. Team vibe amid Robert Sarver backlash.
2. Deandre Ayton’s mindset.
3. Will Jae Crowder or Cam Johnson start?
4. Dario Saric’s return from injury.
5. Chris Paul’s rest.
Camp starts Tuesday. https://t.co/jMrBHXdqBx pic.twitter.com/RNqTSHvAIH4:00 PM

More on this storyline

Chris Paul usually calls Jae Crowder “9-9” as his Phoenix Suns teammate wears that unique jersey number. Crowder called himself the same thing quoting a tweet about training camp that suggests he’ll be absent from it. “99 WONT BE THERE!” -via Arizona Republic / September 24, 2022
Kellan Olson: Jae Crowder tweeted and deleted this. Doesn’t sound like he’s going to be at training camp pic.twitter.com/ztTAeh6qTo -via Twitter @KellanOlson / September 24, 2022
Crowder’s tweet has since been deleted, but this isn’t the first time Crowder turned heads on social media regarding his future with the Suns. Earlier this summer, Crowder tweeted “CHANGE IS INEVITABLE.. GROWTH IS OPTIONAL.!! I BELIEVE ITS TIME FOR A CHANGE… I WANNA CONTINUE GROWING.!”  Then last week, Crowder tweeted “WOW!” in what appears to be a reaction to the findings of the Robert Sarver investigation that concluded the Suns majority owner used the N-word multiple times and made inappropriate comments at female employees during his 18-year tenure. -via Arizona Republic / September 24, 2022
