Damion Lee
Phoenix Suns • #10 • SG
- Lee (knee) has yet to make an appearance this season, so his absence doesn’t impact the rotation. The veteran guard remains without a clear timetable for return.
- Suns’ Isaiah Thomas: Inks another 10-day deal Thomas has signed a second 10-day contract with the Suns on Saturday.Thomas has only seen the court in two of a possible six games since joining Phoenix. He tallied five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3PT) and one assist across eight minutes in his most recent appearance in Friday’s 128-103 loss to the Thunder. The veteran will continue to be available for backcourt depth in the immediate future.
- Suns’ Kevin Durant: Leads Suns in blowout loss Durant contributed 26 points (10-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday’s 128-103 loss to Oklahoma City.Durant was the only player who delivered a solid performance for the Suns on Friday, leading the team in scoring despite the fact that Phoenix lost by 25 points. Durant continues to rise to the occasion every time the Suns need him, and the star forward is averaging 23.2 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.5 blocks per game over his last 10 contests.
- Suns’ Grayson Allen: Struggles from deep Friday Allen registered 13 points (6-16 FG, 1-9 3Pt), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Friday’s 128-103 loss to the Thunder.Allen has failed to score more than 13 points in each of his last five appearances, but that’s not really surprising given that he plays a secondary role in an offensive scheme that also involves Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. The most concerning stat during that five-game stretch is the drop-off in efficiency, as Allen, one of the best three-point shooters in the league all season long, has made just 28 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc during that span. Allen will aim to bounce back when the Suns visit the Pelicans on Monday.
