Suns interim coach Jay Triano was in the Talking Stick Resort Arena parking lot a couple of weeks ago when he saw something he didn’t believe.
There was point guard Isaiah Canaan, six weeks removed from a gruesome injury in which he dislocated his left ankle, walking toward the arena.
“I didn’t recognize who it was,” Triano said. “Because it can’t be you, it can’t be you walking like that already. He was going slow but it was a natural gait, a natural walk and I was like, ‘This is crazy how fast he’s recovered.
