Suns Release Injury Report vs Rockets
PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns have released their initial injury report ahead of tomorrow's matchup against the Houston Rockets:
AVAILABLE: Nassir Little (orbital fracture)
PROBABLE: Jusuf Nurkić (personal reasons), Josh Okogie (hip)
OUT: Bradley Beal (ankle), Damion Lee (knee)
It was quite the roller coaster for Little on Christmas, as he was initially listed as available with his fracture before being downgraded to out due to soreness right before game time - before then being upgraded to questionable and eventually playing against the Dallas Mavericks.
He played just three minutes.
Phoenix is likely to see the return of Nurkic, who missed the last two games due to personal reasons (which are still unknown). The Suns have started Drew Eubanks in his place the last two nights though he hasn't been featured much due to underwhelming play.
Okogie made his return last night after missing nearly two weeks due to his hip injury. His defensive abilities are welcomed to the floor though his 0-5 shooting vs Dallas was a staunch reminder of his limitations.
Beal remains out after the Suns initially shelved him until January following his ankle sprain. He's played in just six games all season.
Lee is still out after having meniscus surgery in training camp, and his timetable for return is unknown,
The Suns have lost their last nine-of-twelve entering Houston.
