Deandre Ayton is set to return to action for the Phoenix Suns tonight against the Dallas Mavericks, which will revert the backup center position to its usual state of your-turn-my-turn for those last 16-18 minutes.
That might mean Dario Saric gets lost on the bench again, as he’s the 4th center in a two-man rotation. Yes, that same Dario who posted lines of 14/8/4 and 19/8/3 in the last two Suns wins as DA has been out with the flu.
“Dario can hoop, man,” Cam Johnson said after Dario’s 19 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists in Tuesday’s win over the Hornets.
