Im still hot from this situation. This was literally a preventable injury had one of the booger-eating towel boys been paying attention or cared enough to clean the floor. Stuff like this should prompt the league to have a discussion with ownership.
For something this important it just shouldn’t be left in the hands of kids or teenagers. I know that’s been a longtime tradition of teams, but this is players health. Maybe it’s time to do something better.

Professionals should be in charge of cleaning the court at all times. It's that important.

Why change it when the game starts?

It's hard to see the Suns not starting Ayton.

Ayton has come off the bench in his two games back from injury. #Suns have had slow starts the last two games.

Starting line-up needs to be Rubio, Booker, Bridges, Oubre and Ayton. If it's anything other than that, Monty has some explaining to do.

Yeah hope he starts tonight. I would like to see a starting lineup of Rubio, Booker, bridges, oubre and Ayton. But that’s just me...

I think you speak for a lot of fans. That's the lineup I want to see as well.

Pleeeeeeeeease let Elfrid Payton play tonight, that dude is the ultimate empty stat player. Lineups featuring him get obliterated.

So much talent and yet so little production. He was such a tease in his early games with the Suns. I hope he doesn't come alive if he plays. It's what happens to the Suns.

We get to see Ayton and Baynes start tonight. I guess it's to counter the Knicks size.

#Suns starters F Kelly Oubre Jr. F Deandre Ayton C Aron Baynes G Devin Booker G Ricky Rubio

huh... so this is Monty's ideal lineup, I guess? Interesting. It was something I mused about when Baynes was kicking ass earlier this season. Very curious to see how this shakes out.

My guess is Ayton and Baynes do not become the regular starting lineup. It's probably a match-up thing.

I'd prefer Oubre and Bridges at the forwards. Maybe Monty is kicking the tires. This might be as good a time as any to try it.

I do worry about the Suns size on the bench. The Knicks have depth at PF/C.

Another thought. Monty wants to prevent a slow start, something that has plagued the Suns.

Baynes probably won't get any more playing time starting, just as when he comes off the bench.

It is a logical reaction to the beatings we've been taking to start games.

Oubre with the pull-up shot. Suns lead 2-0.

Elfriid Payton has 6 points. So what's new from a former player.
