Very recently, the point guard had a strong performance in a 96-107 loss to the Phoenix Suns. He had a team-high scoring performance of 21 points, with 1 rebound and 3 assists.

Following the game, the two stars of the Phoenix Suns, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, had positive remarks to share about Micic.

"Crafty, knows how to play the position," Kevin Durant said about the former EuroLeague MVP. "Smart. Taking advantage of his opportunities. I'm happy for him," he concluded. Micic had made a highlight reel move against Durant, leaving him defenseless in a baseline drive.

Devin Booker, the other scorer of the Suns, also praised the point guard.

"Played his a*s off. But we knew that coming into the game. He played really well last game, too," said Booker, recalling Micic's 25-point and 8-assist performance against the Memphis Grizzlies. "He was one of the guys that was top of the scouting report, and he still played well," he concluded.

After being traded to the Hornets, Micic has indeed been showing himself. Currently, his season averages are 6.3 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game.
