'Happy with my Suns': Ayton shines in first matchup vs. Pacers since Indiana's $133M offer

The Suns' Deandre Ayton received a max four-year, $133-million offer sheet last summer from Indiana that Phoenix matched to keep him.

INDIANAPOLIS – Deandre Ayton finally faced the team that gave him the four-year, $133-million offer sheet last summer.

“It went through my mind,” Ayton said after the game about facing Indiana for the first time since receiving the max offer sheet. “I had to bust their butt, but at the same time, the fans showed some love. The results of the game, the intensity, how we played because they fought.

“I enjoyed playing against them and being out there, but I’m happy with my Suns, though,” Ayton said. “Forget that. That’s behind me. I’m happy I’m with my Suns.”
