In nearly eight decades the NBA, only seven players have hit 30,000 career points: LeBron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Dirk Nowitzki and Wilt Chamberlain. Save for James — who is still active — the rest are in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

For the game, the Suns could be without their best player, as 2014 MVP Kevin Durant is on the injury report. Durant missed the team's last game, so this would be his second straight out of action (if he doesn't play).
