There goes one of the point guards I wanted the Suns to add. Lakers intend to sign D.J. Augustin.

The waiting period for health and safety protocols has been reduced to 5 days with contingencies. We do not know if Booker is symptom free as yet.


By Kevin Zimmerman Arizona Sports:

As for when he will be available, the NBA in late December shortened the policy on returning if a player tests positive to five days provided they are vaccinated, symptom free and are testing below a set cycle threshold, according to a memo obtained by ESPN.

JaVale McGee said the Suns’ focus in shootaround was phenomenal. Extremely locked in and the group gets irritated by the feeling of losing.
Let hope that translates into wins. We were negative 20 with in on the floor the other night and we got outrebounded. McGee has been great this season. The team is going to need a bunch of players to step up while CP3 and Book are out of the lineup. I bet Golden State is just salivating right now over the next week.

It's something we all know but worth repeating about health and safety protocols.

How does this make sense? If he is Asymptomatic, he only needs to test twice negative in 24 hours to return according to Kellan Olson. If he is showing symptoms, he is out regardless. Flex just said he is out until the middle of next week. That would seem to indicate he is showing symptoms. It can't be both.

It's only for face value. Since I read it I thought I would throw it out there.

Another media source or player will hopefully give us additional information.

No doubt. Just another example of Flex again playing "both" positions.

In case anyone cares, Frank is scheduled to be re-evaluated this weekend. It is certainly possible that we might be a week or two away of him being available to play. Video of him working out like normal with the big men is a good sign.

I'd like to have Frank back. He is a huge character guy plus he can play.
