The Phoenix Suns will be heading to Utah without either of starting center Deandre Ayton (ankle) or backup JaVale McGee (knee), who had been starting in Ayton’s absence.
McGee has just been reported as OUT by the Suns on today’s injury report with knee soreness. He played on Monday night but was in foul trouble most of the game. Now, he’s out. (Jae Crowder and Cameron Payne are also still OUT.)
The Suns are no strangers to injuries and illness at center this year.
The injury bug has plagued Phoenix Suns fourth-year starting center Deandre Ayton throughout the first half of the 2021-22 NBA season.
