Former Wildcat Deandre Ayton to finally return after suspension

We’re nearly two months into the NBA season, and Deandre Ayton has still only played in just one game this year for the Phoenix Suns.

After a rather underrated and highly successful rookie season, things were looking promising for Ayton coming into the year, especially as the former Wildcat started off the year hot.

Starting off the season against the Sacramento Kings, Ayton would score 18 points while grabbing 11 rebounds and getting four blocks in the Suns’ dominant, 124-95 win.

Unfortunately the good news from that game and the start of the season didn’t seem to last long though, as the league had announced that Ayton would be suspended.
