Suns’ Response and Injury Struggles
The Phoenix Suns, hampered by injuries to Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green, relied heavily on Devin Booker, who delivered a season-best 38 points and was flawless at the line, converting all 11 free throws. Mark Williams impressed with 16 points and a season-high 16 rebounds, and Grayson Allen matched Williams with another 16 points.
Phoenix’s road woes continued, as they suffered their fourth consecutive away defeat to start the season. The Suns will look to bounce back when they host the Clippers on Thursday night.
Squad Management and Notable Absences
For Golden State, Jimmy Butler was cleared to start after being listed questionable due to lower back soreness, contributing to an early 11-0 surge. However, Butler did not return after halftime and finished with two points on 1-for-5 shooting in 14 minutes. Steve Kerr stated Butler will remain questionable for Wednesday’s contest. Al Horford also sat out to manage a left toe injury.
Coach Kerr confirmed that Curry will be unavailable for the trip to Sacramento due to an increasingly severe cold, with Curry himself acknowledging the worsening symptoms.
