Crowder suffered a sprained ankle Wednesday vs. the 76ers, which caused him to miss the entire second half. Unsurprisingly, he’s been ruled out for Thursday’s matchup vs. the Celtics. Abdel Nader will also remain out for this contest, while Dario Saric is questionable with an ankle injury of his own. If Saric is unable to suit up, it will leave the Suns without a ton of frontcourt depth in this matchup.
Cam Johnson started the second half in place of Crowder, and he led the bench unit with 30 minutes of playing time. He ultimately finished with 24.
