According to sources, the Phoenix Suns agreed to not report to training camp as they continue to try to find a trade for him.

The Suns are expected to increase playing time for forward Cameron Johnson, which could lead to a diminished role for veteran forward Jae Crowder. There are a number of factors that could have led to the request.

The Suns said on Sunday that they were going to be without him. One must seek work where he is wanted. Where he needs to be.

ONE MUST SEEK WORK WHERE HE IS WANTED.. WHERE HE IS NEEDED.! I AM THANKFUL FOR WHAT THESE PAST 2 YRS HAVE TAUGHT ME.! NOW I MUST TAKE ON ANOTHER CHALLENGE WITH CONTINUED HARDWORK & DEDICATION.! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO CLOSED THE DOOR ON ME.... THANK YOU! 99 BACK SOON.! 🥷🏾🤫🤐

The NBA investigation confirmed reports of racist and misogynistic comments made by the team's owner.

He was a key member of the Suns' Finals team in 2021. In 67 games last year, the defensive specialist averaged 9.4 points and 5.3 rebound.

During the summer, the Suns have been in trade talks with other teams, but haven't been able to come to an agreement. Bojan was traded to the Detroit Pistons last week, and they had been in talks with the Utah Jazz about him.
