The Phoenix Suns had to deal with a number of injuries to their backcourt on Tuesday night, as well as a 22-minute delay because of a power outage at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. They still managed to keep up with the Indiana Pacers for the majority of the evening, but in the end, the Pacers walked away with a 116-97 victory.
Star guard Brandon Knight was forced to sit this game out due to food poisoning. The team had already been dealing with injuries to Eric Bledsoe and Ronnie Price leading into this contest, so this left the team short-handed in the backcourt.
