Suns vs Clippers: Injury Updates And Starting Lineups Revealed
The Phoenix Suns travel Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Clippers seeking a bounceback after losing to San Antonio. The game begins at 9 PM ET and will air on ClipperVision, Suns+, and AZFamily.
Clippers are coming off a 139-123 victory over New Orleans that snapped their seven-game losing streak but remain two wins below the season average with six of seven games played away. The team is without Brandon Ingram due to right heel surgery, Bradley Beal from knee injury management, and Jordan Miller after left rotator cuff surgery.
Five other Clippers players are listed as questionable or out: Cam Christie (right ankle sprain), Yanic Konan Niederhauser (right Lisfranc surgery), Nick Martinelli on a G League two-way deal, Kobe Sanders, Baba Miller, Max Strus, Keaton Wagler, and Gra. The team started Darius Garland, Derrick Jones Jr., Brook Lopez, Rui Hachimura, and Kris Dunn against the Pelicans.
Suns are back-to-back losers after falling 122-96 to San Antonio on Monday night but have a better record than their opponent at three wins above six losses. Phoenix is fifth in its seven-game homestand with Jordan Goodwin returning from calf injury, leaving only Mark Williams out due to left shoulder surgery.
The Suns will stick with the same starting lineup used for past three games: Devin Booker, Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, Miles Bridges, and Oso Ighodaro. Coach Jordan Ott praised Goodwin's energy, defensive presence, growth offensively in the paint, and development as a 3-point shooter.
This marks the first of four meetings between these two franchises. The Suns are now 2-1 when starting this lineup after earning wins over Orlando and Houston before falling to Spurs yesterday.
