The Suns are grappling with significant roster challenges, having ruled out key players Grayson Allen, Royce O’Neale, and Haywood Highsmith ahead of the game. Additionally, Amir Coffey has been sidelined for the remainder of the game due to a left ankle sprain, while David Jones is out for the season with an ankle injury. Devin Vassell remains day-to-day, adding to the uncertainty surrounding the Suns’ lineup.
