Top Suns News

  • Suns' Kevin Durant: Set to play against Utah

    Durant (ankle) will play in Friday's game versus the Jazz, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Durant will return to action Friday after missing Phoenix's last three outings due to a sprained left ankle. The superstar forward should reclaim his starting spot from Royce O'Neale against Utah. The Suns are 1-9 without Durant in the lineup, including three straight losses during his most recent absence, but they're 11-2 when the veteran is in the starting lineup this season.

  • Suns' TyTy Washington: Well-rounded game in G League win

    Washington notched 24 points (8-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, six assists and three steals across 34 minutes in the Valley Suns' 106-100 G League win over the South Bay Lakers on Thursday.

    Washington led the Valley Suns in scoring while posting his fifth 20-plus-point outing over seven G League Tip-Off Tournament matchups. The two-way guard has seen minimal playing time at the NBA level, though he has averaged 22.0 points, 7.7 assists, 6.6 rebounds and 1.7 steals across 33.6 minutes per contest in the G League.

  • Suns' Ryan Dunn: Absent from injury report

    Dunn (ankle) has been cleared for Friday's game against the Jazz.

    Dunn will return to action after missing his squad's last three games due to a left ankle injury. He should see his usual workload off the bench given Kevin Durant's (ankle) likely return Friday.

  • Suns' Grayson Allen: Not on injury report for Friday

    Allen (ankle) is off the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Jazz.

    Allen twisted his ankle during Sunday's loss to the Magic, though he appears to be good to go for Friday's contest. The sharpshooter has appeared in 10 consecutive outings, during which he has averaged 12.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists across 26.5 minutes per game.

  • Suns' Jusuf Nurkic: Off injury report for Friday

    Nurkic (thigh) is off the injury report for Friday's game against Utah.

    Nurkic is slated to return from a five-game absence due to a left ankle sprain and a right thigh contusion. The big man has averaged 8.2 points, 9.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists across 24.0 minutes per contest over his last five outings.

  • Suns' Kevin Durant: Expected to play Friday

    Durant (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against the Jazz.

    Durant has been battling through a left ankle sprain but recorded 90 percent participation in Wednesday's practice and appears on track to suit up Friday. He's missed three straight games, so the Suns may keep a close eye on his minutes in an effort to ensure he doesn't suffer any setbacks, assuming he gets the green light ahead of tipoff.

  • Suns' Kevin Durant: Approaching unrestricted activity

    Coach Mike Budenholzer stated that Durant (ankle) logged 90 percent participation in Wednesday's practice, Dana Scott of AZ Central reports. His next opportunity to take the court comes Friday versus Utah.

    Durant approaching full practice bodes well for an imminent return. The 36-year-old has been sidelined for Phoenix's last three contests -- all of which have been losses -- after spraining his left ankle in a Dec. 3 victory over San Antonio.

  • Suns' Mason Plumlee: Blocks four shots

    Plumlee accumulated seven points (2-5 FG, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 115-110 loss to Orlando.

    Plumlee made his third start in a row while filling in for the injured Jusuf Nurkic (calf). In those games, Plumlee was a serviceable fantasy streamer with averages of 4.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.0 blocks. He could be worth a look again if Nurkic is unable to return Dec. 13 against the Jazz.

  • Suns' Tyus Jones: Nails five triples in defeat

    Jones contributed 21 points (7-16 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and six assists across 34 minutes during Sunday's 115-110 loss to the Magic.

    With his 21-point showing Sunday, Jones fell one point shy of his season-high scoring mark set during a Nov. 10 loss to the Kings. He's now hit double-digit scoring figures in nine of his last 10 contests, a span in which Jones is averaging 14.6 points, 7.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.7 three-pointers in 32.3 minutes per game. The veteran floor general should remain a solid source of points, dimes, triples and steals with strong shooting splits for fantasy managers as a facilitator for the likes of Devin Booker and Bradley Beal in Phoenix's starting lineup, and he'll continue to experience an uptick in usage while Kevin Durant (ankle) sits on the shelf.

  • Suns' Bradley Beal: Efficient 18 points Sunday

    Beal amassed 18 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 35 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 115-110 loss to the Magic.

    It was a strong effort out of Beal, who has now scored at least 15 points in eight of his last nine games. In five appearances with Kevin Durant (ankle) unavailable this season, Beal is now averaging 21.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers per contest. Beal should continue to have more ball-handling responsibilities on his plate while Durant remains sidelined, and the 31-year-old star guard has a favorable matchup Friday against a Jazz club that ranks 28th in the league in defensive efficiency rating (117.9).

  • Suns' Devin Booker: Team-high 25 points in loss

    Booker registered 25 points (8-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and four steals across 38 minutes during Sunday's 115-110 loss to Orlando.

    Booker led the way for the Suns in scoring and assists Sunday, and his four steals set a new season-high figure. In 10 games with Kevin Durant (ankle) out of action this season, Booker is now averaging 25.2 points, 5.8 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 37.1 minutes per contest. Fantasy managers might have to deal with more inefficient shooting nights from the field out of Booker with defenses focusing more on him in Durant's continued absence, but the 28-year-old superstar guard should have more upside when it comes to compiling counting stats in the meantime.

  • Suns' Grayson Allen: Suffers ankle injury

    Allen twisted his ankle during Sunday's 115-110 loss to the Magic and will be re-evaluated Monday, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.

    The severity of Allen's injury likely won't be uncovered until his re-evaluation is completed, but fortunately, the Suns don't play again until Friday against the Magic. He'll be considered day-to-day until the team has more information to share. Allen played 22 minutes in Sunday's loss, finishing with 13 points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal.

  • Suns' Ryan Dunn: Sitting out Sunday

    Dunn (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Magic.

    He'll miss his third consecutive game while he recovers from a sore left ankle. With Kevin Durant (ankle) also sitting out a third straight contest, Royce O'Neale will likely make another start at power forward and could be in store for a 30-plus-minute role.

  • Suns' Monte Morris: Shows up with 12 points

    Morris provided 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 19 minutes during Saturday's 121-111 loss to the Heat.

    We haven't seen much from Morris this season, but he posted a season-high 12 points in the loss, signaling an increase in production while the team copes with numerous absences. Although he isn't a worthwhile fantasy prospect, Morris may pop with some encouraging numbers over the next few weeks.

  • Suns' Grayson Allen: Drop 16 points in loss

    Allen recorded 16 points (5-10 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals across 30 minutes during Saturday's 121-111 loss to the Heat.

    Allen provided much-needed support from the bench as the Suns continue to struggle without Kevin Durant (ankle) and Jusuf Nurkic (thigh). Allen converted a season-high five three-pointers in the loss during a night where his shot attempts were limited to the perimeter. Allen recorded 30 minutes in defeat, and he should continue to hover around that number while the team struggles with injuries.
