PHOENIX (AP) — Suns centre Deandre Ayton missed his second straight game with a sprained ankle.
Ayton has played in just one game after returning from his 25-game suspension, scoring 18 points against the Clippers in 24 minutes before leaving in the second half after injuring his ankle. “You can boo-hoo and whine about it, but it does no good,” Phoenix coach Monty Williams said pregame.
“You look around the league, Minnesota is missing players, New Orleans is missing players all year. ... It’s happening to everyone. I don’t know if anyone’s dealt with what we’ve dealt with, but I like my team, I like the fight and the way they show up every day.”
The Suns have lost six straight games and fell to 11-18. Kelly Oubre Jr led Phoenix with 26 points.
