Full 2023-24 Suns Schedule Released
Time for NBA basketball is slowly nearing, as we're just about two months removed from preseason games commencing.
The Phoenix Suns have kept fans quite busy all offseason through a plethora of trades and free agency signings that they believe will get them closer to finally bringing home the Larry O'Brien trophy.
Yet the news cycle has slowed down, and the next milestone was reached today when the league announced their entire regular season slate for every team.
Phoenix's preseason slate, which was previous announced, can be found here. Their schedule for group play in the NBA's inaugural in-season tournament was also released and can be found here.

They'll be one of two opening night matchups to begin the season when they take on the Golden State Warriors. Two days later they'll again be on the road to face the Los Angeles Lakers. The Suns will be home on Christmas for a big matchup with the Denver Nuggets, too.
