Suns notes

Morris (back) is questionable for Tuesday’s game against Memphis, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Morris is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest due to low-back soreness. The veteran point guard didn’t play in four straight outings due to a coach’s decision before the injury, so another absence likely wouldn’t cause any waves in the rotation.

Richards finished Sunday’s 127-109 loss to the Raptors with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one block and one steal across 21 minutes.

Richards finished just two boards shy of a double-double Sunday, and he continues to provide solid numbers on both ends of the court as the Suns‘ starting center. He’s started every game for the Suns since Jan. 20, and in that 16-game span, he’s averaging 8.1 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and 0.4 assists across 22.4 minutes per contest.

Beal ended Sunday’s 127-109 loss to the Raptors with 30 points (12-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 41 minutes.

Aside from leading the Suns in scoring with his first 30-point game of the season, Beal was remarkably efficient and missed just three of his 15 shots from the floor. He has started in the Suns’ last two games, and while the Suns have gone 1-1 in that span, Beal’s performances and numbers could suggest he might remain in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future, as he brings far more offense to the table than Tyus Jones.

Booker had 31 points (12-25 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals across 37 minutes during Sunday’s 127-109 loss to the Raptors.

Booker posted 29 points in the win over the Bulls in the first leg of this back-to-back set Saturday, and he followed it up with an even better showing in this loss to Toronto. Booker has had a few down games of late, but the star guard continues to operate as a key piece on offense for the Suns. He’s scored at least 24 points in four of his last six outings, a span in which he’s averaging 27.5 points, 7.8 assists and 4.2 rebounds per game while shooting 46.8 percent from the floor in that span.
