Trendon Watford had a notable performance off the bench for the Brooklyn Nets in their recent game against the Phoenix Suns. Despite the Nets’ 127-117 loss, Watford contributed significantly with 18 points, showcasing his versatility and scoring ability.
The game, which took place on November 27, 2024, saw the Suns celebrate the return of key players Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant, both of whom had been sidelined due to injuries. Beal and Durant each scored 23 points, helping the Suns snap a five-game losing streak.

The Nets were led by Tyrese Martin, who scored a career-high 30 points, but the team ultimately fell short against the rejuvenated Suns lineup.
