Nassir Little meets with the media at shootaround ahead of the Phoenix Suns (11-7) matchup against the defending-champion Denver Nuggets (13-6).
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Little is all smiles as he talks about his newborn daughter, Brielle Little, who was born on Monday. She is his first-born child.
The Suns are looking to rebound from Wednesday’s 112-105 loss to the Toronto Raptors, but will be without Devin Booker tonight.
Little returns after missing Wednesday’s loss due to Brielle’s birth. He said he felt he could’ve been a difference maker against a team like the Raptors, but knew being there for her and his girlfriend was more important. The forward has scored in double digits in four of his last five games played.
“I’ve had the opportunity to achieve a lot of things that I’m proud of, but that’s definitely the proudest moment I’ve had,” Little said.
