Per reports, the Phoenix Suns will have three more players on hardship deals for today’s game against the Boston Celtics.
Prior to Wednesday’s game, the Suns had placed center Deandre Ayton and forward Jae Crowder into “health and safety protocols” for COVID, and they signed 6’9” forward Emanuel Terry — who had been in the G-League — on a hardship deal. Terry did not play on Wednesday, but was active.
Just before Wednesday’s game, the Suns added already-injured Abdel Nader to the list, triggering a requirement to add a second hardship player, per NBA rules.
