Suns @ Clippers Monday game thread 12-13-2021

[Mainstreet]

The Suns go on the road for back-to-back games playing at the Clippers on Monday and the Trail Blazers on Tuesday.

Clippers are 15-12 winning their last three games and 5-5 over the past ten games.

Suns are 21-4 and 9-1 in their last ten games. They have won their last last two games.

The game will be televised on Bally Sports Arizona and NBA TV.

Start time is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. Arizona time.

No injury report as yet.

The biggest questions is will Deandre Ayton play for the Suns and will Paul George and Nicolas Batum play for the Clippers.

I don't know about Paul or Batum but I don't see Ayton playing. When he recovers from his leprosy or whatever he has he's probably going to need a few days to get back into playing shape.

It's a good point about Ayton needing time to get in shape.

I was just hoping he ate too many Christmas cookies and would be fine.

Any word on Booker or should we play it safe and expect him back for Christmas

I haven't heard anything about Devin. A return by Christmas sounds about right.

Maybe Booker and Thompson both come back for the Christmas Day game.

This Christmas, right?

This Christmas, right?

If not for Christmas, maybe Boston on New Year's Eve.

We're going to start losing winnable games if Booker remains out but even still I'd rather he remain out until that hamstring is completely healed. We've seen Booker at less than 100% and he's just not one of those players that can still excel when he's slightly hobbled. So, I have no idea when we'll see him play again.

I have no time frame.

I was glancing at the Suns schedule and was surprised to see them playing on New Year's Eve day as well.

Deandre Ayton is QUESTIONABLE.

I don't know about Paul or Batum but I don't see Ayton playing.

That’s because the game hasn’t started yet. Wait another approximately 16 hours from now and try again.

I wear very special glasses, and I don't see him out there. But I'll try it your way just in case these stupid spectacles are broken.
