The Suns were without Devin Booker (hamstring strain) and Isaiah Canaan (ankle sprain) on Wednesday night against the Spurs, but that opened up extra minutes for some of the team’s rookies to see the court.
After performing well in the Suns previous two games, Elie Okobo received his first-career start in place of Canaan. The young point guard totaled eight points in the outing to go along with five assists, four rebounds and a steal.
Mikal Bridges has continued to see his minutes climb as the season moves forward and Wednesday was no different as the rookie logged a career-high 27 minutes.
