DARIO ŠARIC NEWS

Playing off bench Saric (ankle) will come off the bench for Friday's restart opener against the Wizards, Evan Sidery of Locked On Suns reports.

Impact Saric has been dealing with an ankle injury but, ultimately, he's set to play. In eight appearances off the bench this season, Saric is averaging 4.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 11.9 minutes. Cam Johnson will draw the start in his place.

Does more in practice Thursday Saric (ankle) did "more" during Thursday's practice, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Saric exited Sunday's scrimmage against the Celtics with an ankle injury and then sat out the Suns' final scrimmage against the Raptors. It remains unclear whether he'll play in Friday's opener against the Wizards.

Continues exemplary play Johnson provided 19 points (6-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals across 25 minutes in Tuesday's 117-106 scrimmage win over the Raptors in Orland...

Impact Dario Saric (ankle) sat out on Tuesday, and Johnson once again stepped into a more significant role. The former first-round pick was bound to make the leap from role player to starter eventually, and the perfect storm of Saric's injury and Kelly Oubre's absence crystallizes that opportunity. While a timeshare is the likely end result at the four, Johnson's skill set is ideally suited for either forward position due to his shotmaking and defensive ability.

Sitting out final scrimmage Saric (ankle) won't participate in the Suns' final scrimmage Tuesday against Toronto, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Saric is still nursing a left ankle sprain, and the Suns will play it safe with the forward in their final tuneup. The team called Saric day-to-day earlier in the week, so consider him questionable for the first seeding game on Friday against Washington until further notice.

Considered day-to-day The Suns are considering Saric (ankle) day-to-day as the team's first seeding game approaches, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Saric left Sunday's scrimmage with an ankle injury, but the good news is it does not appear to be anything serious. Olson notes that Saric appeared to be walking without a limp Monday. At this time, it's unclear if he'll play in Tuesday's final scrimmage against Toronto.

Mostly rehabbing in bubble Oubre (knee) is doing a "little bit" of on-court work at practice but is mostly doing rehab work, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Coach Monty Williams described Oubre as "looking great" but it remains unclear if he'll participate in the Suns' upcoming games -- the first of which is July 31 against the Wizards. If Oubre is unable to play, Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson and Dario Saric could see expanded roles.
