Saturday’s game was filled with runs, fast breaks and high-flying dunks as the Phoenix Suns tipped-off against the Atlanta Hawks.
After missing the previous six games with an ankle injury, Deandre Ayton returned to the Suns starting lineup as he continued his impressive rookie season. The Big Fella finished the game with 13 points and 11 rebounds to notch his rookie-leading 28th double-double. That’s double the amount of the next closest rookie, who coincidently is Hawks’ Trae Young with 14 on the season.
While Ayton had a solid game in his return, it was actually Mikal Bridges who broke out for the Suns on Saturday.
