Suns center Jusuf Nurkic, who has been one of the league's most reliable big men over the past seven seasons, has hit a wall in Phoenix. Nurkic revealed that he and Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer did not talk for two months and do not have a relationship, per azcentral's Duane Rankin.

The Suns drama between Jusuf Nurkic and Mike Budenholzer had some interesting analysis from DeMarcus Cousins about Nurkic's role.

The Phoenix Suns have four bigs on the roster, including newly acquired 7-footer Nick Richards. Nurkic was moved to the bench earlier this month.

Of course, the Suns were expected to be one of the top teams in the West this season due to their superstar trio of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. Instead, they have struggled, which has already made them make some moves to upgrade their roster.
