There are many uncertainties to be resolved in the coming months regarding the future of important players, and two of the most coveted, such as Khris Middleton and Al Horford, could be very close to signing a contract with a new team. Veterans, experienced, and with the ability to help any team, numerous NBA rumors are circulating around them.

The doubts surrounding Khris Middleton revolve around the spiral of injuries he has been involved in for some time, causing a significant loss of appeal. Anchored in a Wizards team with no aspirations, everything indicates that the best-positioned franchise for his signing is the Phoenix Suns. Arizona has nothing to lose and urgently needs to strengthen, so they are counting on a resurgence of an infinitely talented shooting guard who could provide significant help.

The Phoenix Suns are the favorites to be Khris Middleton’s next team, per @BovadaOfficial
