After six years as a Nets assistant, Jordan Ott returned to Brooklyn on Monday as head coach of the Suns, leading them to a 126-117 victory at Barclays Center.

Jordan Ott wasn't too pleased with the officiating as the Suns fell to the Pistons on Thursday night in a close game.

Despite his big play at the end of the game, Suns head coach Jordan Ott wanted to commend Booker for his playmaking. He had nine assists to go with his 24 points and six rebounds, but those passes were also key to getting the victory for Phoenix.

Jordan Ott should win the 2025-26 NBA Coach of the Year award after leading a masterful turnaround for the Suns.

But when evaluating top trade candidates from the Suns, their top choice to ship out of the desert is easy. ESPN went through all 30 teams to highlight one player most likely to be moved, and for Phoenix, backup center Nick Richards was the choice.

Ishbia and Phoenix general manager Brian Gregory are MSU graduates, as well. Gregory was an assistant coach under Izzo while Ishbia was a walk-on player. Legendary MSU captain and former Pistons first-round draft pick Mateen Cleaves is also on the Phoenix player development team as an assistant.

Jordan Ott had his choice of words when asked about Dillon Brooks being involved in any Suns trade rumors before Monday's game.
