Yeah this doesn't sound good about Smith. Hope we're overreacting.

Why wouldn't the Suns just assign Jalen Smith to the G-League unless there is something more?

This would be an obvious move.

If I were hoping for good news. Trading Smith to OKC for the Suns first round pick back would work.

Maybe he just needs to take a leave for some reason?

Leaving fans guessing is never a good thing.

Serious illness, drug suspension, family crisis, returning to home planet?

Taking the rest of the season to get healthy?

I like trading him to OKC for our first round pick back the best but I doubt that is happening.

seems very odd.

by all accounts this kid is a workout fiend who loves the sport. 5 star recruit, McDonalds all American the whole 9.

I don’t think it’s anything bad maybe he’s having personal issues.

I hope the Jalen news is simple as sending him to the g league so he can get some reps

It may be something simple (let's hope so) but I highly doubt it has anything to do with being sent to the G League - history suggests the coach would have just told us if that were the case. My hope is that he has a minor transgression to apologize for, violating team rules or Covid protocols or even failing a drug test (not as minor but still better than some of the possibles). Anyway, we'll soon see.

I assume if it was a failed drug test than the league would have released that information. He is likely dealing with something personal would be my guess if they are leaving it up to him to disclose the information.

If the Suns were not going to draft Halibuton a trade down would have been good if one was available.

The 2020 draft had solid depth.

Was okay with smith. Wanted Halliburton. Will regret this I think. Hope it turns into one of those majerle type picks.
