Suns center Deandre Ayton made a fashion statement walking into Staples Center for Game 4 against the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night.
Ayton’s black t-shirt had a printed photo of teammate Devin Booker after his nose was bloodied by Patrick Beverley during Game 2.
Ayton has been seen wearing a similar shirt of former Suns point guard Steve Nash when he played through a broken nose.
