The Suns play some eastern teams after this game. They have played 15 games against the western conference, bad part is they play the top 5 teams in the East.
IMO Cleveland is top five maybe Charlotte wait Pacers should be

Steven Adams is questionable tonight with reported left calf tightness.

Kellan Olson
@KellanOlson

Steven Adams is questionable for the Pelicans due to left calf tightness. Injured it in Saturday's game and did not play for New Orleans on Monday. Jaxson Hayes started in his place.

Go suns!!

You're more likely to "soar" from the bong or the pain medication, although I'll bet you're sore from the trip to the dentist.

It's uncertain if Nader will play tonight.

Cam Payne and Dario are reportedly improving back in Phoenix.

Nope, theyre in Phoenix and the game is in New Orleans.

Let's go suns!!!!

Praying ayton does decent

 

[Mainstreet]

Sweet so daric cam playing?

Payne and Saric remain in Phoenix. Hopefully we get them for the seven game home stand.

 

[Sunburn]

How long has Saric been out? Does he have severe covid symptoms?

 

[Mainstreet]

Almost time for tipoff.

 

[Mainstreet]

How long has Saric been out? Does he have severe covid symptoms?

Saric has been shooting with the team while in Phoenix. He probably needs additional time to get in shape.

He has been out since around January 17th.

 

[Dr dumas]

First play and CP wants to go to Ayton down low and he looks away as to not want the ball.

 

[Mainstreet]

Adams, Ingram and Zion upfront is a big lineup.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are 0-5 from 3-point range.

 

[Hoop Head]

How long has Saric been out? Does he have severe covid symptoms?

He was cleared from covid restrictions right before this road trip and rejoined the team but since he hadn't practiced in weeks he was held out of the final home game and stayed in Phoenix for this road trip. He should be back when the team returns home.

I think that's an upside and downside of the training facility. Leaving rehabbing players behind on road trips because they have access to that facility is now possible and probably helps them bounce back quicker than if they were traveling with the team but it keeps them away from the team, which usually hurts.
