How to Watch Warriors-Suns Game On Wednesday
The first time the Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns matched up with one another earlier this season felt like a playoff, championship-like game and on Wednesday night in the desert, we should expect yet another high-level matchup.
The defending NBA champion Warriors have not begun the 2022-23 season how they would have liked, as they are currently 6-8, but there are a ton of new faces in head coach Steve Kerr’s rotations.
Not only are JaMychal Green and Donte DiVincenzo still getting adjusted to the Warriors’ complicated system, but Moses Moody, Jonathan Kuminga and James Wiseman are three younger talents this team is looking to develop.
Finding a balance and finding consistency is all that is holding the Warriors back right now, as Stephen Curry is putting together an MVP-like season already.
Devin Booker is off to yet another All-Star start for the Suns, but this team is currently dealing with a ton of injuries.
Cameron Johnson is out for the next several weeks due to a meniscus injury that required surgery, Chris Paul has been dealing with a heel issue over the last week or two and Jae Crowder remains away from the team as he is looking to be traded.
With their lineup depleted and thin, the Suns have lost three of their last four games and are looking very vulnerable right now.
Will Golden State take advantage of this opportunity and get their first road win of the season or will Phoenix move to 7-1 at home this year?
Here is how to watch Wednesday night’s game with gametimes and TV, lineups, bios and other must-know details.
