Suns Reveal Injury Report vs Thunder

The Phoenix Suns have released their initial injury report against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns have revealed their initial injury report against the Oklahoma City Thunder for Friday night.

QUESTIONABLE - Jusuf Nurkic (right ankle sprain)
OUT - Damion Lee (meniscus surgery)

Nurkic left Monday night's loss against the San Antonio Spurs in the second half with his right ankle sprain and was questionable for Wednesday's win over the Denver Nuggets before being ruled out ahead of game time. Drew Eubanks started in his place while Thaddeus Young also performed well at the five spot in the road victory.

Nurkic has been the most consistent part of Phoenix's lineup this season, starting 68 games for the Suns - more than anybody on the roster. 

This season, Nurkic is averaging 11.3 points to go along with 11 rebounds and 3.8 assists per night with one block/steal averaged, respectively. 

The Suns haven't seen Lee play all season after having surgery ahead of training camp. Phoenix coach Frank Vogel has previously told reporters in the past he expected Lee back prior to the end of the regular season, and the shooting guard has made recent road trips with the team as his workload ramps up. Lee still has no timetable for return and the Suns have nine games left in the regular season.

Phoenix is not listing any injury designation for Bradley Beal ahead of Friday, a good sign after the guard was questionable with a finger injury. Beal played in the win vs Denver and scored ten points with seven assists.

The Suns are 43-30 approaching Friday's road tilt in OKC.
