Suns Owner Breaks Silence After Blowout Loss to Nuggets in Game 6
Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia shared a message on Twitter following the Game 6 loss to the Denver Nuggets:
"Suns Fans: Thank you for an unbelievable few months and a very special start to my experience as team owner/steward. You welcomed me and my family and have been awesome every step of the way. You are the absolute greatest fans in all of basketball. While we have a lot to be proud of this year, we did not reach the level of success all of us want, which is a championship. We won’t win a championship every season, but it will always be the goal. The [Suns] will never stop working to be great both on and off the court, and we are just getting started. Look forward to being with all of you at [Phoenix Mercury] games this summer and thank you again for an incredible first season!"
Ishbia got much more publicity during this round than would be normal for an NBA owner, having been involved in a scuffle with Nuggets star Nikola Jokic that resulted in the star center getting fined $25,000. Notably pushing for the Kevin Durant trade in his first season as Suns owner, Ishbia is certainly disappointed with how this season ended, but is excited for what the future holds in Phoenix.
As he noted in his message, Ishbia is focused on bringing an NBA championship to Phoenix.
