The Phoenix Suns succumbed to the Minnesota Timberwolves, 89-85, in their latest NBA Summer League matchup in Las Vegas, marking their third straight loss. After leading by as much as 16 points in the first half, the Suns faltered when Tristen Newton hit a crucial three-pointer, giving Minnesota a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. The Timberwolves' Rob Dillingham emerged as the standout performer with 23 points, including a pivotal 13 in the final quarter, while Boogie Ellis led the Suns with 23 points.

Despite a valiant effort, the Suns struggled with their shooting, hitting only 12 of 42 attempts from beyond the arc and 13 of 28 from the free-throw line. Ryan Dunn's late-game injury added to their woes, though he returned to play shortly after. Koby Brea remains day-to-day due to a thumb injury, further challenging Phoenix, who must regroup quickly to improve their Summer League performance.
