Suns Reveal Starters vs Raptors
PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns - still without Devin Booker - will utilize the following starting lineup against the Toronto Raptors:
Bradley Beal
Grayson Allen
Royce O'Neale
Kevin Durant
Jusuf Nurkic
With Booker's ankle injury sidelining him, O'Neale has received starting privileges in his absence.
Suns coach Frank Vogel spoke with reporters ahead of tonight's action and did not have any more updates on Booker or any of the other three players ruled out in Nassir Little, Damion Lee or Josh Okogie.
NBA on TNT's Chris Haynes says he could return as soon as Saturday against the Boston Celtics.
"The earliest that Booker could return, though it's a long shot, the earliest that he could return is March 9 against the Boston Celtics. But I'm told he stayed back in Phoenix. He's receiving treatment around the clock to get back in a timely fashion. I was also told that is if this were a playoff game, he would be playing tonight. So the Suns are just try to be cautious."
Phoenix ended a two-game losing streak with an overtime road victory over the Denver Nuggets earlier this week. They approach tonight's matchup sitting at 36-26 with the No. 6 seed.
Opening tip is slated for 7:00 PM Arizona time.
