Looking for a riveting Phoenix Suns game to go to? The Suns versus the Orlando Magic probably isn’t it. The Magic are hardly magical, and despite Phoenix’s mediocre start, the Suns are the better team. Still, the matchup marks the return of the Valley’s own Channing Frye. In 2012, the former Sun survived a scare after a routine physical revealed an enlarged heart. Sidelined the entire 2012-13 season, Frye defied the odds and returned to the Suns for a solid 2013-14 season. The poetic coincidence: Frye has a very big heart, literally and figuratively. He’s humble, kind, resilient, and awfully easy to root for. Just don’t do it when the Magic visit US Airways Center, 201 East Jefferson Street, at 6 p.m. on Sunday, November 30. Tickets are $19.50 and up. Visit www.suns.com or call 602-379-2000 for details.
