Look across the myriad of Phoenix Suns all-time leaderboards, and the name “Dario Saric” won’t be found on any of them. Despite arriving back in 2019, he only suited up for the Suns in 153 regular-season games. He only scored 20-plus points seven times in Phoenix, five of which came in his first season in the Valley, and he only…
Adding Kevin Durant was a monster move for the Phoenix Suns, but they weren’t done with the 2023 NBA Trade Deadline after their blockbuster deal. On Thursday, The Athletic’s Shams Charania broke the news that the Suns were trading Dario Saric and a second-round pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Darius Bazley.

After a year of waiting, rehabbing and working to get back, the last thing Dario Saric wanted to do was have to wait even more. But on a Phoenix Suns team that suddenly went three-deep at center, shaking off the rust and proving he was ready for big minutes would take time. For the first two and a half months…
For better or for worse, Cam Payne may be the barometer for how the Phoenix Suns’ bench unit fares in 2022-23.

Despite the storm clouds swirling overhead in the desert, Phoenix Suns training camp is finally here. It’s a moment Dario Saric has been awaiting for over a year. After tearing his ACL in Game 1 of the 2020 NBA Finals, Saric had to watch from the sidelines as his team went up 2-0 in the series…and then went 0-for-4 the…...
In the dog days of the NBA calendar, with NFL and college football back on the menu, it’s understandable that Dario Saric’s time at EuroBasket 2022 was not high on people’s priority lists.

Phoenix Suns fans have spent the last month waiting for a Kevin Durant trade to materialize, but in the meantime, they largely have the same roster to look forward to next season. Well, almost the same, thanks to Dario Saric. Outside of extending Deandre Ayton and Devin Booker, the Suns’ only means to improve at this point lies in continuity,…...
It’s been 367 days since Dario Saric tore his right ACL in Game 1 of the 2021 NBA Finals. It’s been a long road to recovery — one made even more difficult after Saric underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right meniscus two months ago. Saric was in attendance at the Phoenix Suns’ first Summer League game in Las Vegas on…
