Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia says the team will improve, make the playoffs and win a first-round series, despite Phoenix’s recent postseason struggles and being viewed as short of the West’s top contenders. The Suns are betting heavily on a retooled roster around Devin Booker, including Miles Bridges, while injuries and a difficult conference could complicate the push. Ishbia says he is focused on owning teams he can help make more competitive, rather than building a sports empire, placing added pressure on him to deliver results in Phoenix.

Blazers Owner Says Portland Stay Priority

Trail Blazers owner Tom Dundon says keeping the team in Portland is his priority as the team and local officials negotiate a new lease and funding for a major Moda Center renovation. Though relocation concerns have strained talks, the sides have recently made progress; a deal is time-sensitive because state funding is at risk if an agreement is not reached by December.
