Suns Notes

Martin (sports hernia) has been ruled out for Thursday’s game against the Spurs.

Martin’s debut with the Suns will be delayed a bit longer. He is not ready to return to the floor and continues to deal with a sports hernia. The veteran guard was recently traded to Phoenix in a deal with Charlotte and will be a welcome addition to the squad once he is healthy. This season, he’s averaging a career-high 7.8 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.

Beal (toe) is not listed on the injury report and will be available for Thursday’s game against the Spurs.

Beal missed each of the Suns‘ previous four games before the All-Star break, but the veteran scorer used the time off to recover, and he’ll be available for this clash against San Antonio. Beal has played off the bench in each of his last 14 appearances, averaging 16.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steals per contest in that span.
