Nov 6, 2026 9:00 PM

The Suns are struggling early, but a key player on the roster remains optimistic.

The Phoenix Suns put together their most complete performance of the 2026-27 season on Thursday night.

This comes on the heels of taking down the Orlando Magic to earn their second win of the campaign. 

There's still questions facing the team's prospects moving forward despite the brief morale boost. 

One of the key players on this edition of Suns basketball has a definitive message to those who remain skeptical.

Suns Starter Preaches Patience

First-year Sun Miles Bridges - who has been facing steady criticism himself - understands the frustrations that fans are feeling. 

Even through the struggles, Bridges believes the Suns will figure everything out, as on display in a social media post following Wednesday night's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. 

Wednesday's game was likely Bridges' best as a member of the team. While his statistical output wasn't as gaudy, he impacted the game positively. This points to the former lottery pick being more than willing to adapt on a game-by-game basis after a rocky start to his career in Phoenix.

The willingness to adapt ( rebounds, assists) is also an indicator that he is becoming more comfortable in the new ecosystem. He seems to finally be gaining synergy with fellow wing Dillon Brooks, which should instill confidence across the board.

This is just the start of a potentially strong finish to the month.

Phoenix Will Have Chances in November To Right Ship 

The Suns' next two games are challenging, to say the least. They are taking on the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs in the days ahead.

After that, the coast is quite clear. 

Nov. 10: Los Angeles Clippers

Nov. 12: Charlotte Hornets

Nov. 15: Los Angeles Lakers

Nov. 16: @ Denver Nuggets

Nov. 18: @ Sacramento Kings

Nov. 20: @ Utah Jazz

Nov. 23: @ New Orleans Pelicans

Nov. 25: @ Houston

Nov. 27: Dallas Mavericks

Nov. 29: @ Utah

The Suns have multiple opportunities here to pull winning streaks off - full stop. While there are few "free" wins on the schedule, the team is more than capable of finishing this stretch with a 6-4 or 7-3 record. This would pace them at around .500 by the end of November, which would be an incredible outcome when adding the context of the 1-5 start to the year.

Now is the time for Bridges and co. to deliver on the promise of better days ahead.
