Phoenix (2-4) ends a three-game homestand on Nov. 2 against the San Antonio Spurs (5-0) in a 6 p.m. game at Mortgage Matchup Center. “It was full-court before practice,” said Suns coach Jordan Ott about Green’s 5-on-5 work.

Booker paced the Suns with a game-high 32 points, with 29 coming in the second half, while Morant scored 28 in leading Memphis. Mark Williams posted a second straight 20-point double-double, finishing with 20 points and 11 rebounds in his first start with the Suns.

Devin Booker called out the Suns’ slow starts after their 138-134 loss to the Jazz, saying Phoenix “needed this one."

The Suns closed that gap to four on a 6-0 spurt, but Jaylen Wells answered with a four-point play as Booker fouled him on a corner 3 in front of the Phoenix bench. The Suns challenged the call for the foul to be called on the floor, but the challenge was unsuccessful as it was ruled on the shot.

The Memphis Grizzlies split their two-game road trip, and rookie Cedric Coward's performances might force them to put him in the starting lineup.

PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns have unveiled their initial injury report ahead of their Sunday night clash against the San Antonio Spurs. Both Dillon Brooks (core muscle strain) and Jalen Green (hamstring) have been ruled out while Isaiah Livers is doubtful with a right hip contusion suffered previously.

The Suns may struggle all year, but until Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks return to the lineup, they deserve a little time.

Brooks looks to help the Suns on that end when he returns, but in his three games this season, the team still struggled on defense, and while Jalen Green may provide an offensive spark when he returns and make Devin Booker’s life easier, he’s on the shorter end for starting guards, and isn’t known for his strong defensive prowess.
