Suns players help kids with Christmas gifts and holiday essentials

For all of the Phoenix Suns’ deficiencies this season, they still rank second in the NBA in free throws made per game.

Coincidentally, many team members were seen passing out freebies to kids at a local Target store ahead of Christmas.

Chimezie Metu, Josh Okogie, Damion Lee, Drew Eubanks and Keita Bates-Diop were all seen with big smiles helping children shop.

A holiday shopping spree 🎁

The Phoenix Suns/Phoenix Mercury Foundation partnered with the Creighton Community Foundation buying gifts and essentials for the kids!

Hopefully the good vibes translate to good results on the floor as the Suns take on the Dallas Mavericks on Christmas Day.
