The Phoenix Suns have traded forward Josh Okogie and three second-round picks to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for center Nick Richards and a 2025 Denver second-round pick.

Richards brings much-needed size and scoring to the Suns, who rank last in points from their starting center. The 7-footer is averaging 8.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game this season.

The Hornets, meanwhile, add draft capital and a defensive-minded wing in Okogie. Richards is expected to compete for the starting center role in Phoenix.
