Both O’Neale and Hurd spoke to PEOPLE about how their <a href="https://people.com/power-actress-paige-hurd-is-engaged-to-phoenix-suns-royce-oneale-exclusive-11688609" rel="noopener">magical engagement</a> that took place in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico back in March.</p><p>“I was feeling nervous because I wasn’t trying to give off any nerve-wracking behavior or give any signs that something was up,” O’Neale tells PEOPLE. “I was really excited because I knew Paige wasn’t expecting it and wanted it to be a huge, special surprise.”</p><p>O’Neale’s wishes were granted when Hurd said “yes” and was complete amazement.</p><p>“During the proposal I was in such shock, it took me about a full minute to stand to my feet,” says Hurd.</p><p>“After the proposal I was the happiest I have ever been in my life because she said ‘yes,’ ” the Suns’ forward said. “The proposal was a great surprise, and she was so shocked that it happened after the whole dinner thinking it was gonna be another time.”</p><p>O’Neale was confident that he was going to propose to the Power actress last fall.</p><p>“I knew I wanted to marry Paige and spend the rest of my life with her,” he says. “We spent a lot of time together, traveled together, lived together, been around each other’s families and closest friends, learned about each other, and loved being with one another all the time.”</p><p>“I’m over the moon and so happy,” the actress says.</p><p>O’Neale manifested that he was going to date Hurd since she has had a “crush” on the actress since he was a kid.</p><p>“She was my lifelong crush,” he says. “Couple years ago me and my friends were talking, I mentioned to them one day I will meet her, date her and marry her. Of course they thought I was joking, but I was serious — it was just the fact we had to meet each other in person.”</p><p>While Hurd was not looking to date when the two met in 2024 it was a surprise to her as well but they were able to make a great bond.</p><p>“I had just vowed to myself and my therapist I was not dating for a while,” Hurd recalls. “I was fasting and on my walk with God and boom there’s Royce. Nice as can be, but I just said we could be friends. After a while he won me over, and we have been truly inseparable ever since. That’s my best friend first.”</p><p>Hurd shared that she was sure of O’Neale was the one last summer.</p><p>“I’m beyond lucky and blessed. Royce is the most thoughtful, down-to-earth, gentle man I’ve ever known and I couldn’t be happier to spend the rest of my life with him,” Hurd says. “I believe deep down I knew for a while, but for sure in August of last year.”</p><p>As of now, there are no wedding plans that have been made public. The Suns are not in the playoffs this season so they will have another shot in the winter.

Hayden graduated from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University while covering events like the 2023 NCAA Men's Final Four, the 2024 Vrbo Fiesta Bowl and the Arizona State men's swim and dive team. He recently covered the Phoenix Mercury for The Next Hoops and PHNX Sports.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Mini-Editorials</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Phoenix Suns are amid a three-game losing skid, and it hasn’t been encouraging for some to see. Regardless, point guard Tyus Jones and forward Royce O’Neale have a different outlook on their losing streak. Both players spoke after Tuesday’s practice and explained what <a href="https://x.com/PHNX_Suns/status/1866589691333554342" rel="noopener">they believe the underlying issue is</a>.</p><p>“We’re not playing a complete 48 minutes,” Jones said via Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports. “I think we’re playing well enough to win, but we’re not playing a full 48. We have stretches throughout the game where we get careless. Too many turnovers and not getting the stops that we need.</p><p>“If we can kind of eliminate those stretches, then it’ll help the other parts of the game. We’re playing well, we’re generating good shots, we’re connected on defense. Now, it’s just about putting together longer stretches of good basketball.”</p><p>The Suns have put together solid stretches during the season, most notably at the beginning. For instance, they began the campaign with a 9-2 record. Although those 11 games were with Kevin Durant, it’s been a story with him out. He’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-kevin-durant-injury-return-target-date">missed the past three Suns games with an ankle injury</a>. While Durant has a target return date, it hasn’t prevented Phoenix from making mistakes throughout these games.</p><p>In every game, they had the lead in the second half. Unlike the first 11 games, they weren’t able to sustain the lead. The first game against the New Orleans Pelicans was the exception to the rule. Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram caught fire and scored 21 points in the third quarter. That catapulted the rest of the team to score. However, the last two games could have been key wins for the Suns.</p><h2><b>Tyus Jones and Royce O’Neale have benefited the Suns during this stretch</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Tyus-Jones-dribbling.jpg"><figcaption>© Jeremy Reper-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Luckily, both <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/suns-news-resilient-mindset-full-effect-four-game-skid">Jones and O’Neale have performed well and risen to the occasion for Phoenix</a>. Still, the loss doesn’t come as a result of one or two players. Although Bradley Beal and Devin Booker haven’t performed like their fellow teammates during this stretch, it’s unfair to place all the blame on them.</p><p>For instance, the point guard is averaging 15.7 points and 5.3 assists a night on 47.8 percent shooting from deep. O’Neale has been a monster, averaging 19.3 points per game over this stretch. Not to mention, he’s shooting an absurd 58.8 percent from the floor and 63.6 percent from three.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/suns-news-unheralded-bench-player-drops-career-high-loss-vs-heat">O’Neale even dropped a career-high 23 points</a> against the Miami Heat on Saturday. Regardless, those two have done what they can, but it isn’t enough. Jones echoed a calm sentiment despite the current Suns skid.</p><p>“This road trip was tough because we felt like we played overall pretty well,” Jones said. “We were competing, we were together. We just had stretches where we didn’t make shots, or we let the defensive pressure kind of get to us and turn the ball over too many times. There are things like that, but we just have to learn from it. Stay with it; it’s a long season. It’s just room to grow.”</p><p>Jones is right. Phoenix has only played 23 games so far, which is a little more than a quarter of the season. Still, after starting with a 9-2 record, the Suns have fallen pretty far. Without Durant, the team simply looks lost. With either Friday or Sunday set to be Durant’s return, the Suns have time before their next game. As O’Neale mentioned to AZCentral’s Duane Rankin, the team is <a href="https://x.com/DuaneRankin/status/1866581471231684747" rel="noopener">picking apart components from each game</a> as to why they lost.<br><br>“I think it’s different things throughout each game,” O’Neale said. “It’s different stretches of the game where maybe we had a bad stretch of how the other team went on the run or us having a couple of costing turnovers or simply us just missing shots. We’re doing all the right things, making the right plays. It’s just about sticking with them.”</p><p>When KD is on the floor, they’re <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/suns-record-with-durant-this-season" rel="noopener">11-2 on the season</a>. The shortcomings aren’t reflective of Durant, but they play a key component. Jones and O’Neale have done all they can to step up to the plate. However, getting back to the basics and playing a consistent 48 minutes, with or without Durant, will prove crucial in the thick of the Suns season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He recently covered the Phoenix Mercury for The Next Hoops and PHNX Sports.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Amidst the Phoenix Suns’ comeback win against the Los Angeles Clippers, forward Royce O’Neale had himself a career night. After <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/suns-news-royce-oneal-44-million-contract-free-agency">O’Neale signed a $44 million contract</a> in the offseason, he’s been worth every penny. Although consistent scoring was always a question, those uncertainties were put to rest on Thursday. He scored 21 points, seven rebounds, one assist, steal, and block. Not to mention, he shot 7-for-8 from the field and 5-for-6 from three. </p><p>While O’Neale is known as a hustle player, he can fill up the stat sheet, especially this season. Whether it’s rebounding, moving the ball, or draining shots, he can be someone who helps Phoenix win games. As the team traveled back to Phoenix, they had a light shootaround on Friday. O’Neale spoke to reporters about the moment he realized he was going to eclipse his career high.</p><p>“I know I had like 20 a bunch of times before. And then I had 19 and then when I got fouled, I said, ‘Okay, make the first free throw.’ And then that second one I was like, ‘Just don’t miss.’”</p><p>Luckily, O’Neale didn’t miss and secured his 21st point of the evening. He gained the attention of basketball fans, and specifically Suns fans. This performance highlights the Suns’ depth, especially last season. Former Phoenix head coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/suns-news-frank-vogel-royce-o-neale-trade-deadline">Frank Vogel said he wanted to implement O’Neale in small-ball lineups</a>.</p><h2><b>Suns’ teammates aren’t surprised at Royce O’Neale’s career night</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Royce-ONeale-career-night-sparked-the-Suns-comeback-win.jpg"><figcaption>© Joe Camporeale-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Even now, head coach Mike Budenholzer implemented a similar strategy so far. He’s put O’Neale in at the power forward and small forward spots. He’s been <a href="https://arizonasports.com/story/3562021/phoenix-suns-small-lineup-nba/" rel="noopener">playing the power forward sporadically</a> and has thrived. However, this wasn’t much of a surprise for his superstar teammate, Kevin Durant. He said via AZCentral’s Duane Rankin after Thursday’s game that O’Neale is <a href="https://x.com/DuaneRankin/status/1852232001438249309" rel="noopener">taking huge strides</a> in his career.</p><p>“I think Royce is at the point of his career now he’s taking that next step as a player,” Durant said. “You get the ultimate confidence and confidence in the organization, coaches, and teammates. Then the work that you put in, all season, throughout the season, starts to show up.</p><p>“He’s stepped it up a notch, he stepped up a level as an individual player and he’s adding that to the team as a collective. Get his career-high scoring, he’s blocking shots, he’s throwing one through five, he’s making plays, passing the ball. I’m super impressed with what he’s doing and I know he’s going to keep it up, just keep grinding.”</p><p>Pacing the sidelines was Budenholzer, who rode the hot hand the entire second half. O’Neale <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/o/onealro01.html" rel="noopener">played a season-high 29 minutes</a> in the comeback victory. With the standout performance, even Budenholzer was shocked that he never scored more than 20 points in a game.</p><p>“For that to be his career high last night, I agree, a little bit of a surprise,” Budenholzer said. “But…coaches trust him, teammates trust him. He makes winning plays, and I think that’s why we went out and got him last year.”</p><p>The Suns have a key piece of their roster for the next four seasons. His tenacity, grit, and shot-making could be decisive going forward. They’ll take on the Portland Trail Blazers and start a three-game homestand. Hopefully, Phoenix can have O’Neale’s magic translate over to their fourth-straight win.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
