Aron Baynes and Cam Johnson will be re-evaluated in a week.


@KellanOlson

Suns say both Aron Baynes (left hip soreness) and Cam Johnson (right quad contusion) will be re-evaluated in a week and have no timetable set for return.

More dishonest crap from management, no different than what they pulled with Penny and then Amare, clearly hiding the seriousness of Baynes and Cam's injuries, going from day-to-day now to week-to-week, and James Jones continues to do nothing to replenish our roster.

And people on this board wonder why I am cynical when the Suns are cryptic with their injury reports.

Mark my words: Cam will not play in another game this season, and Baynes will not play in a Suns uniform ever again.

Definitely not good news if the injuries are serious.

I wonder if a trade might be in the works that involves one or both?

Lol, marked.

You've whiffed on this type of nonsense twice already this season. And you wonder why everyone thinks your negativity boarders on delusion.

Maybe. The question who is going to want to trade for our damaged goods?

 

[GatorAZ]

Cam definitely has me worried.

 

[1Sun]

Cam definitely has me worried.

Should have had you worried when he was drafted. He had an injury history in college to go along with his athletic limitations.

Davon Reed part deux, only this time it was a Lottery pick, not a second round pick, that was wasted on a broken player who had borderline physical ability to start, where any injury renders him unable to compete at the NBA level.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Baynes' hip is sore and Cam has a quad bruise. Nothing earth-shattering, just takes time. Cam's injury is the less worrisome of the two, but I am not worried about Baynes' either and I do not think it hurts his trade value at all--if we actually are thinking about trading him.

In past years teams used to sit players pending trade. I'm not saying that is happening here though.

Simply a random thought.

They typically didn’t sit them for this long a period. Maybe a game or three. These are injuries plain and simple.

Baynes' ongoing sore hip at his age is of more concern than Cam's bruise.

Baynes has cost us a backup Center, which will eventually take its toll on a young Ayton. That is something to worry about.

The Suns are way past the point of a little and things will be fine. They're not fine! We deserve better.

With Frank out for a prolonged time and baynes missing a lot of time I’m having difficulty understanding jones not going out to get another big.

I don't believe they have a roster spot. They had a two-way, but anyone worth anything wouldn't sign a two-way.

Hadn’t considered that. There’s no way around that? Surprising.

Well, he could stop prolonging the inevitable and declare Kaminsky out for the season...

 

[mjb21aztd]

This would be a sweet gm to win considering Memphis playing well as late

As always need a huge gm from booker ayton and hope someone from the bench shows up. Maybe carter will show up since its his former team.

Go suns

The injuries are real enough. I was hoping with the Baynes rumors that there was a delay in his returning to action because of a trade.

 

[SirStefan32]

They really have to win this one if they want to make the playoffs.

 

[SirStefan32]

They'd have to waive someone. I am guessing it would be Okobo, Carter, or Diallo. I am guessing that even if they make a trade, they'll end up in a similar situation.

Again, incredibly poor roster management by James Jones.

 

[Hoop Head]

I want them to keep Carter. He's shown enough that he's worth a roster spot. Waiving Okobo and resigning him on a Two-Way deal might have been an option but since he's not making much, league minimum, he might not clear waivers. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried speaking with his agent about that and they weren't receptive.

I think they can get a disabled player exception right now. I don't mean the one for salary but the one that gives them a roster spot. Teams are now able to sign players to 10 day deals and the Suns could really use a big for 10 days, at least. If that player works out then they'll need to make room but the trade deadline is February 6th, they need to do something.
