Ayton and Crowder have been upgraded to QUESTIONABLE.

Maybe there is a chance one or both play.

Yup even with hawks down this year and wiz meh the bulls, sixers, Bucks run is no joke.
I would be somewhat OK with this knowing all our bigs were available. Otherwise I see plus Dbook and CP3 minutes in contested games.

Suns sign Justin Jackson to a second 10-day contract. I like what he brings to the table.

Deandre Ayton will warm-up tonight before making a decision to play.

Sweet.

That said, last time we got the guys back from Covid we totally crapped the bed against Miami.

Maybe it's just because Landry Shamet is out along with the other injuries but it is interesting the Suns bring Justin Jackson back on a 10-day contract.

Could mean nothing or it could mean something.

Just went from 9 guys to 12. That is a relief.

Hopefully Payton doesn't crap the bed and Paul won't be forced to play 40+ minutes again.

Adding Justin Jackson is interesting at this point in time. Might something be in the works?

I suspect it is entirely because of Shamet and Payne both being out. He isn't a ball handler but at least he is familiar with the team.

Maybe but the Suns have been playing short handed for awhile.

I think the Suns like him and it's weird no other team has picked him up.

It sounds like the Suns will be watching Ayton's minutes tonight.

It is one thing to be short handed, it is another to be down to 3 guards and one of them is Payton.

It's not just Payton but Shamet as well except for one game where he flashed. Suns need another ball handler in the back court that can shoot.

The Wizards are trying to trade Spencer Dinwiddie but he is not really a shooter. There are more reasonable options like Cory Joseph and Raul Neto. I wonder if the Suns would consider one of these players.
