The Suns' Cam Johnson has popped up on the injury report with a nasal fracture (ow). Poor guy just got stitches above his eye two weeks ago. He is listed as available for tomorrow's game vs. the Spurs. Abdel Nader is still out.

With Nader out for the game tonight, it will be 15 straight games he has missed.

It's starting to remind of two other Suns players that didn't return from injury, Kelly Oubre and TJ Warren.

Lakers took care of the Jazz. Now tied in the loss column. Gotta take care of business tonight.

Are you using someone else's rankings?
Nate Duncan on his podcast the other day listed the top 16 centers in the league and he had Poeltl at 11 and Ayton at 12. Ayton should be no lower than maybe 7 on this list. This is the full list that he said.

Some of those are really way off. His ranking of Vucevic at 16 tells me all I need to know.
