In an uneven performance, the Phoenix Suns succumbed to the Atlanta Hawks 98-80, marking their second game of the Summer League. Despite a solid showing from Oso Ighodaro, who led the team with 18 points, the Suns struggled with shooting, finishing at just 39.2% from the floor. Rasheer Fleming's continued absence due to knee soreness hampered the team's depth, with coach DeMarre Carroll hinting at a cautious approach for his potential return. The Suns will need to adjust quickly, facing the Sacramento Kings on Monday.

Carroll highlighted the need for more aggressive offensive sets, as the team tends to be predictable on the court. Koby Brea's ability to adjust against tight defenses was notable, but his defensive lapses need addressing. With a critical upcoming matchup against the Kings, the Suns will look to refine their game plan and utilize their assets more effectively.
