The Phoenix Suns have a valuable asset in their locker room, with Isaiah Thomas bringing playoff experience to the team as the last man on their bench. Despite limited playing time since joining the team, Thomas has made a positive impact on the squad and earned a contract extension through the end of the season. In an interview with Arizona Sports’ Burns & Gambo, Thomas discussed the Suns’ approach to securing a higher position for the playoffs in the final week of the regular season.
With the seventh seed in the West standings, the Suns are close behind the New Orleans Pelicans for the sixth spot. Thomas highlighted that aiming for sixth is crucial while also being prepared for potential participation in the play-in tournament if necessary. The standings could shift significantly with upcoming games, potentially putting them in a more favorable position by avoiding this tournament scenario.
As we approach the end of the regular season, Thomas emphasized that focusing on their own performance while keeping an eye on other teams’ results is essential for both their success and fans’ excitement about where they will land in playoff picture. With control over their destiny and determination to finish strong, fans will be eagerly watching every remaining game to see how it all unfolds.
