As the Suns go to Canada to face a team that thrives in four-wing lineups, they will be short-handed once again.
The Phoenix Suns announced on Monday that Cameron Johnson, who had impressively stepped up into a starring role recently, will miss Tuesday’s game (and possibly much more) with an ankle sprain suffered in the closing minutes of Saturday’s loss to the Heat.
If you have followed the Suns m.o., when you see ‘ankle sprain’ you immediately add ‘out two weeks’ to the injury report. Earlier this year, Cam Payne (hamstring), Devin Booker (hamstring) and Deandre Ayton (knee bruise) all missed about two weeks with their own soft tissue.
