PHX Suns Recap and Notes

  • Suns’ Grayson Allen: Chips in 15 points off bench

    Allen finished with 15 points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Friday’s 122-115 loss to the Raptors.

    It was the fifth time this season that Allen attempted 10 free throws in a game. He scored 12 of his 15 points in the first quarter and finished as the Suns‘ third-leading scorer behind Jalen Green (34 points) and Devin Booker (31 points). Friday was Allen’s return from a one-game absence due to right knee injury management, and he may continue to sit out at least one game of back-to-back sets until the postseason.

  • Suns’ Devin Booker: Drops 31 points in Friday’s loss

    Booker logged 31 points (10-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-11 FT), three rebounds and one block over 34 minutes during the Suns‘ 122-115 loss to the Raptors on Friday.

    Booker enjoyed an efficient night from the field while also showing aggression on the offensive side of the floor, as he attempted double-digit free throws for the third time in four games. He’s now scored at least 27 points in six consecutive games, averaging 31.7 points, 4.7 assists, 4.7 rebounds, 3.0 threes and 1.0 steals over 34.1 minutes per game while connecting on 40.9 percent of his three-point attempts over that span.

  • Suns’ Jalen Green: Nails eight three-pointers in loss

    Green finished Friday’s 122-115 loss to Toronto with 34 points (13-25 FG, 8-16 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 35 minutes.

    Green came out firing with 11 points in the first quarter while connecting on all three of his attempts from beyond the arc in the frame. He gave the Suns a steady supply of points, scoring at least seven in every quarter while tying a career high in three-pointers. Green has scored 30-plus points in back-to-back games, and over his last five outings he has averaged 28.8 points on 51.0 percent shooting along with 4.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 4.2 threes and 1.2 steals over 32.6 minutes per game.

  • Suns’ Jordan Goodwin: Good to go Friday

    Goodwin (calf) is available for Friday’s game against the Raptors.

    Goodwin will shake off his questionable tag and suit up for a third straight outing following a seven-game absence due to a left calf strain. The 27-year-old guard has averaged 6.0 points and 2.5 rebounds across 16.0 minutes per contest in his last two appearances.
