Phoenix Suns' pursuit of Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler will only ramp up in terms of speculation. The most recent turn was a few days ago, where the Heat announced they suspended Butler for seven games while also confirming they would entertain trade offers (after previously denying so).

Phoenix Suns are down their starting point guard, Tyus Jones and rookie big Oso Ighodaro for Saturday's game at Indiana.

Suns guard Bradley Beal suffered an injury on Tuesday but could possibly suit up against the Pacers on Saturday.

The Suns (15-18) had the score tied at halftime despite shooting 15% better than Indiana, a difference made up by the Pacers (18-18) taking more shots in winning the possession battle, more 3s to further emphasize winning the math battle and going +4 at the foul line to deny Phoenix any chance of making up for it elsewhere.

The Suns are actually coming into tonight in less complete fashion compared to the last matchup with the Pacers - as Jusuf Nurkic will serve out the last of his three-game suspension, Royce O'Neale is set to miss the game due to an ankle sprain, and Bradley Beal is an apparent game-time decision.

Tyrese Haliburton scored 27 points, dished out eight assists and grabbed five rebounds and two steals in the Pacers' 124-106 win over the Suns.

Tyrese Haliburton scored 27 points and grabbed eight assists and Myles Turner scored 20 points to lead the Pacers over the Suns.
