Suns Recap and Notes

  • Suns’ Devin Booker: Gets in full practice

    Booker (groin) was a full participant in Friday’s practice, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

    It appears that Booker is pushing to return to the floor for Sunday’s game against the Lakers. The superstar guard has missed three straight contests with a groin strain, though the Suns upgraded him to questionable before ultimately ruling him out ahead of Wednesday’s matchup with the Thunder.

  • Suns’ Khaman Maluach: Back to G League

    Phoenix assigned Maluach to the G League’s Valley Suns on Thursday.

    With Maluach unable to break through Phoenix’s rotation, he’ll continue to see the bulk of his reps in the G League.

  • Suns’ Rasheer Fleming: Assigned to G League

    Phoenix assigned Fleming to the G League’s Valley Suns on Thursday.

    Fleming is joining the Valley Suns ahead of Thursday’s G League game against the San Diego Clippers, and he’s likely to play a significant role.

  • Suns’ Mark Williams: Plays just 19 minutes in loss

    Williams amassed nine points (2-5 FG, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Wednesday’s 138-89 loss to Oklahoma City.

    Williams was on the court for only 19 minutes because the game got out of hand for Phoenix rather quickly, leading to the team clearing benches early in the second half. In his last nine appearances, Williams has averaged 15.1 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.6 blocks across 24.1 minutes and has shot 69.3 percent from the field in that span, anchoring down the center spot for the Suns.
