Sonoran Hot Reads (6/6)

A little something new here at AZ Desert Swarm

Welcome to the debut edition of "Sonoran Hot Reads", where we'll hopefully provide you with some of the most important Arizona news and notes each morning!

Basketball

- The Phoenix Suns had a couple of familiar names in town with Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and T.J. McConnell both working out for the team. Apparently TJM set a Suns record with nearly 29 full-court sprints in three minutes.

"That shows you what kind of condition he came in," Suns GM Ryan McDonough said.

"That 3 min run is no joke," McConnell said. "I tried to run as fast as I could & last 10 I kinda blacked out. I don't remember any of it."
