The next stop for the Suns is San Antonio to play the Spurs on Monday for the fourth game of their five game road trip.

It's a back-to-back affair with the Suns beating the Pistons on Sunday.

Spurs are 16-27 but beat the Clippers at home on Saturday. They are 2-8 in their last ten games.

Suns improve to 33-9 after winning the first three games of the road trip. They finish the trip on Thursday against the Mavericks.

The game will be televised on Bally Sports Arizona.

Start time is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Arizona time.

Monty says Deandre Ayton sprained his right ankle in the 1st quarter of the Pistons game but is unaware of it's severity.

It appears Ayton may have stepped on Devin Booker's foot.

It looks like Tre Jones will be out for the Spurs and Wisekamp will be available.

Deandre Ayton is OUT.

Cam Johnson is PROBABLE.

I can't believe the line is only -4.5 points for the suns in this game. I get it's a back to back game, but it makes me feel like I am missing something.

Always lots of respect for Gregg Popovich. Also in their last outing the Spurs beat the Clippers.

I want to see STIX posterize Thad Young.

To hell with the Spurs for even asking for Cam J in that trade and wasting our time.

I don’t imagine too much going on in here with the cards game at the same time.

I wonder if they’re just being cautious with Ayton or is it severe? Suns never have any indications or updates.

Booker is the whole offense so far. Need to get some other players going.

Book has really only forced one shot, a 3-ball in transition. We need someone else to come along with him.

Booker with 25 at the half. Bridges once again doing nothing offensively, 1/5 and 3 points.

Horrible pick and roll defense. Getting eaten up in the third.
