The Suns will be one of the more interesting teams to follow before the NBA trade deadline in February. They have plenty of time to make a deal come to fruition, so there is no need to rush things. Still, Jusuf Nurkic will be a player to closely monitor as the trade deadline draws near.

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic and Dallas Mavericks forwards Naji Marshall and P.J. Washington Jr. were ejected after an altercation between the three in the second half of Friday's game at Footprint Center.

They exchanged punches and were being separated by referees, players, coaches and security when Washington pushed Nurkic, who was being pulled away by Suns' rookie Ryan Dunn. Ejec
