Cardinals Stars Spotted Courtside for Suns-Nuggets Game 6

It's a good time to be a star in The Valley.

The Phoenix Suns are currently in the midst of an important Game 6, where they face elimination against the Denver Nuggets in the second round of the NBA playoffs.

The Arizona Cardinals are putting the final touches on their offseason as minicamp and OTA's approach. Today's schedule release was of one of the last notable events leading into actual football activities.

It's fairly common for local teams to support each other, and that was the case tonight as prominent names from the Cardinals are in the building at the Footprint Center.

Kyler Murray, Marquise Brown, Isaiah Simmons and DeAndre Hopkins were all spotted sitting courtside taking in Game 6 between the Suns and Nuggets, though they were sitting on separate sides of the court.

Murray and Brown - who played together in college, were spotted sitting across the Suns' bench. They attended the last game together, too.

On the other side - sitting across the Nuggets - were Simmons and Hopkins, who both attended Clemson and often spend time with each other in the offseason.

Hopkins often found his name in trade rumors throughout the offseason but has yet to be dealt. Many now believe he could remain in Arizona for 2023. He was not present at voluntary workouts two weeks ago.

Simmons recently had his fifth-year option declined by the team, making him a free agent after 2024. He also was not spotted at voluntary workouts but was reportedly in the building.

Brown is heading into the final year of his rookie contract and has yet to receive an extension.

Murray is still recovering from ACL surgery and is slated to miss the beginning of the season.
