The NBA fined Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green $25,000 on Tuesday for using profanity when he interrupted a live television interview with words of support for teammate Collin Gillespie.

As a team, the Suns' 10.8 steals per night leads the league while the Wizards own the NBA's worst net rating of -11.8 according to NBA.com. Washington also allows 125.4 points per night which is second-worst in the NBA.
The next step for the Suns to take is to play themselves out of the play-in bracket and into the top 6 to secure a playoff spot without the stress of a play-in game (or two). It doesn’t get much easier, but the key is to take it one game at a time, as they’ve done all year.
The Phoenix Suns visit the New Orleans Pelicans Friday in New Orleans, Louisiana, with tip-off set for 8 p.m. ET.
