Chris Paul (Hip) Out vs. Nets

The Phoenix Suns will be without point guard Chris Paul tonight, according to the team. Tonight will mark the sixth-straight game he's missed with right hip soreness. He officially was marked as questionable yesterday.

The Suns play host to the Brookyln Nets in the first of a five-game homestand for the team.

It's been a rough season for Paul, who has only played in 26 games thus far due to injury.

When he's been on the court, there's been the occasional flash of what Paul once was. Yet his 13.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 8.3 assists averaged per night has been somewhat disappointing.

In his place, the Suns have used a variety of players such as Duane Washington Jr. and Cam Payne (who has battled his own health issues) along with Saben Lee, who was recently signed to a ten-day contract. He's averaged ten points and three assists in three games thus far.

The Suns will however welcome back the talents of Cam Johnson, who makes his return from a torn meniscus back from Nov. 4. He is expected to play limited minutes tonight.

Devin Booker, Cam Payne, Josh Okogie and Landry Shamet remain out.

The Suns hope to stop a three-game losing streak which has included losing their last nine-of-ten games. Brooklyn arrives to town on their own three-game losing skid without Kevin Durant.

Kyrie Irving is probable to play after missing their last game with a calf injury.
