Suns interim coach Jay Triano has been reluctant to alter his starting lineup this season, but after five losses in six games, that may be about to change.
Triano indicated Thursday that he likely would change his starting lineup for Friday’s game against the New York Knicks at Talking Stick Resort Arena. He declined to say what changes he would make, but several factors are playing into his thinking.
First, Marquese Chriss, who has missed the past six games with a strained right hip, participated in a full practice Thursday and, barring a setback, expects to play against New York.
