Landry Shamet, Cam Payne Probable to Play Monday vs. Knicks

It's been some tough waters to navigate for the Phoenix Suns as of late.

Phoenix has lost their last five-of-six games and are currently without their star shooting guard in Devin Booker.

While Booker will be re-evaluated four weeks down the road, the Suns will try to finish a road trip where they've won just one-of-four games. With the New York Knicks hosting on Monday and Cleveland Cavaliers ready on Wednesday, Phoenix will welcome any help possible to the lineup.

It looks like they'll get it.

The Suns have listed guards Cam Payne (Foot) and Landry Shamet (Achilles) as probable to return on Monday.

Payne, the primary floor general behind Chris Paul hasn't played since Dec. 13 in Houston after suffering a right foot injury. The Suns have missed his absence and ability to spark tempo while he's on the court.

Phoenix has also missed the scoring prowess of Landry Shamet, who hasn't played since Christmas Day. In the absence of Booker, Shamet dropped 31 points in his last two-of-three games before being injured.

Cam Johnson is still limited to non-contact drills and will not feature in the final two games of the road trip according to Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic. He reportedly was expected to be back on Friday when Phoenix plays host to the Miami Heat but that is now in question.
