Sunday, The Athletic's Shams Charania reported the Phoenix Suns and power forward Jae Crowder agreed to a mutual absence on his behalf when the team picked up training camp on Tuesday. 

The Suns later sent out an official statement: 

"PHOENIX – The Phoenix Suns and forward Jae Crowder have mutually agreed that he will not be with the team for training camp."

Now, Crowder has again taken to his personal Twitter account to let the world know his feelings (something he hasn't been afraid to do previously).

This matches a similar tweet Crowder sent out on Aug. 1:

If the Suns fail to acquire another power forward, Cameron Johnson and Dario Saric are in line to receive the most minutes. Saric is coming off an ACL injury but played several minutes during the EuroBasket tournament, while Johnson (who has improved each season) is in the middle of contract negotiations with Phoenix. 

The Suns have reportedly included Crowder in trade talks as their centerpiece. The team has tried to acquire players such as Kevin Durant and Bojan Bogdanovic, at least to public knowledge. 

Phoenix now looks to move forward without Crowder in the lineup. Potential teams to watch for in a trade would be the Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks.
