I hope Crowder is playing but the NBA injury report lists him as OUT.

The report must be submitted by 5 p.m. local time the day before a game unless it is the second day of back-to-back games which it is not.

Wait, when did Cam sprain his wrist? Could this explain his horrid shooting last 10 games or so?

This would explain it although I'm not sure this is a good thing.

Cam Johnson is now listed as OUT. Jae Crowder is QUESTIONABLE.

In the Suns previous win over the Knicks, Jae Crowder did not play. Also Saric was out.

Cam Johnson did, but he was 3-11 from the field.

Wasn't that the 2nd game of a b2b? I think that game was right after the nets loss.

The bonce-back made the win all the more remarkable. That was one tough road trip.

Jae Crowder is going to be rusty when he comes back

I don't think that's true.

Jae's game is pretty simple, he just hoist's 3's and plays D.

Doubt he lost his shot in two weeks off.

Yes. They are all big games.

Denver is beating Utah right now.

man, Utah has been able to stay ahead of us despite Mitchell and Conley missing a rash of games. I don’t think we could come close to keeping at a .700 clip if we were missing day Booker and Ayton or Booker and CP3.

The really good teams like Utah and Clippers keep plugging away in the West. Right now the Mavericks and Nuggets are machines.

It would be hard for the Suns to do without a couple of their big three.

I think we'd all be thrilled to see Johnson get back to 27% accuracy.

he has been brutal the last 12 games from deep. There’s ONE good game sprinkled in there amongst the twelve, but the others aren’t just bad.they are abysmal percentages.

Torrey Craig remains in the starting lineup.

Kira Lewis Jr.?

Devin Vassell is looking pretty good as well. Tyrese Haliburton is injured.

Stix is going to have to build up his body to be effective next season.

Knicks playing aggressive defense early. Finally Ayton scores on a short jumper.

And Crowder hits the 3-pointer on first shot!
