While the league will review the tape of the incident -- as Shams Charania of The Athletic reported -- and issue fines or suspensions as needed, Eubanks will have the green light to play Wednesday.

Will start sans Nurkic Eubanks will start Sunday's game against the Magic, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact With Jusuf Nurkic (thumb) out, Eubanks will draw his first start since Christmas Day. However, Eubanks has played more than 22 minutes just one time this season, so Chimezie Metu, Keita Bates-Diop and Udoka Azubuike are also candidates for increased playing time in Nurkic's absence.

Posts well-rounded line Monday Eubanks provided 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and four assists in 22 minutes during Monday's 115-113 win over Chicago.
Impact Eubanks hadn't played more than 16 minutes in any contest over his previous five games coming into Monday, but he led Phoenix reserves with 22 minutes against the Bulls. The big man earned the opportunity with a perfect 4-for-4 mark from the field and a team-leading eight boards. The rebound total was Eubanks' highest since Halloween, and this was only his second game with double-digit scoring since Dec. 17, so there's no need for fantasy managers in most formats to seek him out on the waiver wire for the time being.
JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE
Removed from injury report Eubanks (illness) will be available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Impact Eubanks no longer appears on the injury report after missing Thursday's game against the Lakers. Eubanks has averages of 4.0 points and 3.6 rebounds in 12.2 minutes across five January appearances.
JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Thursday Eubanks (illness) will not play in Thursday's game against the Lakers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republicreports.
Impact Eubanks is day-to-day and should be considered questionable to return for Sunday's game against Portland. With Eubanks unable to suit up Thursday, Jusuf Nurkic could pick up a few more minutes with Chimezie Metu potentially stepping into a larger role.

Questionable for Thursday Eubanks is questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers due to an illness.
Impact Eubanks was a late addition to Thursday's injury report, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up due to his illness. If he's unavailable, Jusuf Nurkic and Chimezie Metu could see a few additional minutes.
JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE
Efficient as reserve Eubanks posted eight points (2-3 FG, 4-5 FT) and seven rebounds across 13 minutes during Sunday's 121-115 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact Although Eubanks played just 13 minutes during Sunday's matchup, he matched his second-highest rebound total of the season and made an impact on the scoreboard. He's been an inconsistent part of the rotation to begin the calendar year, averaging 5.0 points and 3.5 rebounds in 11.3 minutes per game over his last four outings.
JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE
Shifts back to bench Eubanks won't start Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

Blocks two shots in win Eubanks recorded three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 17 minutes during Tuesday's 119-116 win over the Warriors.
Impact Eubanks has played at least 15 minutes in seven straight games, averaging 4.3 points and 4.7 rebounds in 16.7 minutes during that stretch. The backup big man has a consistent role but doesn't have fantasy upside as long as Jusuf Nurkic is available. Eubanks hasn't scored in double figures since Nov. 17, but he has blocked multiple shots in a game three times over his last 10 appearances.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

NOVEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Won't return Wednesday Eubanks (left ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

NOVEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Listed probable for Friday Eubanks is probable for Friday's game against the Jazz due to lower back tightness.
Impact Eubanks is coming off one of the best games of his season, as he scored 13 points with four rebounds and three assists in 20 minutes against Minnesota on Wednesday. His back issue appears to be minor, so fantasy managers can expect him to suit up Friday.

Stands out off bench Wednesday Eubanks produced 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 133-115 victory over the Timberwolves.
Impact Eubanks has yet to start a game for the Suns in 2023-24, but he continues to deliver solid numbers off the bench. He was efficient from the field in this game and recorded back-to-back double-digit scoring performances for the second time in the month. Eubanks is averaging 9.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.0 blocks in only 19.1 minutes per game across seven bench appearances in November.
NOVEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Steps it up Eubanks finished with 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 21 minutes during Sunday's 111-99 loss to Oklahoma City.
Impact This was refreshing to see from Eubanks, as he was struggling mightily coming into Sunday's game. In his three games prior, Eubanks scored a combined 14 points and didn't eclipse 20 minutes in any of them. He'll look to keep it going against Minnesota on Wednesday.

Scores 13 off bench Eubanks closed Thursday's 132-121 loss to San Antonio with 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block in 27 minutes.
Impact Eubanks saw his highest minutes total of the young season during Thursday's matchup since the Suns fell behind early. He performed well with his uptick in playing time, scoring in double figures for the second time in the last three games. The 26-year-old also had more minutes than Jusuf Nurkic, who played 19 minutes. While Eubanks has seen ample playing time early in the year off the bench, it's unclear whether he'll be able to consistently outpace Nurkic in playing time during more competitive matchups.
