Impact Deandre Ayton will replace Biyombo in the starting lineup after missing the previous two games with an ankle injury. Biyombo will likely play between 10-15 minutes off the bench Friday.

Bismack Biyombo - Returns to bench Biyombo isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the Timberwolves.
Deandre Ayton - Available Friday Ayton (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.
Impact A sprained left ankle has kept Ayton out over the past two games, but the center will return Friday, which should push Bismack Biyombo back to the bench. Ayton could be featured more in the offense while the Suns remain without Chris Paul (hip), Devin Booker (groin), Landry Shamet (hip), Cameron Johnson (knee) and Cameron Payne (foot). Since Christmas Day, Ayton is averaging 17.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 33.0 minutes.

Deandre Ayton - Expected to play Friday Ayton, who's officially listed as questionable with a sprained left ankle, is expected to play Friday against the Timberwolves, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Ayton has missed back-to-back games after spraining his ankle during Sunday's loss to Cleveland, but it appears the talented big man will return to action against Minnesota. Despite the optimistic report, fantasy managers are still encouraged to confirm Ayton's availability ahead of the 8 p.m. ET tipoff before locking him into lineups. If he does return, Jock Landale and Bismack Biyombo would presumably see fewer minutes.

Landry Shamet - Still sidelined against Minnesota Shamet (hip) won't play in Friday's game versus the Timberwolves, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Impact Shamet will miss his third straight game Friday due to right hip soreness. With the majority of Phoenix's regular backcourt options out, Duane Washington and Damion Lee should continue to see extended minutes. Shamet will have an extra day to recover for Monday's matchup with Memphis.

Deandre Ayton - Listed questionable for Friday Ayton (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable on the injury report ahead of Friday's game versus the Timberwolves, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Impact Ayton was listed out initially on the team's previous two injury reports, so the big man's upgrade to questionable seemingly gives him a reasonable shot to retake the floor. If that's the case, Jock Landale and Bismack Biyombo would presumably see a reduction in minutes.

Chris Paul - Remains out Friday Paul (hip) will sit again Friday versus the Timberwolves, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Impact Paul will skip a fourth consecutive game while working his way back from a hip issue, leaving the Suns devoid of backcourt depth again with Devin Booker (groin), Cameron Payne (foot) and Landry Shamet (hip) also still sidelined. Look for Duane Washington and Mikal Bridges to comprise the team's starting backcourt combination again as a result.

Josh Okogie - Goes for 14 points off bench Okogie ended Wednesday's 126-97 loss to Denver with 14 points (5-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal in 34 minutes.
Impact Okogie got off to a hot start Wednesday, knocking down all four of his shot attempts in the first quarter before entering the break with 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting from the field. Unfortunately, that trend didn't continue into the second half, as the small forward went 0-for-7 over the final two quarters, adding seven boards, two assists and a steal. It was just Okogie's sixth time this season scoring in double figures while his five assists were the second most he's recorded in his 2022-23 campaign.

Torrey Craig - Scores team-high 16 points Craig notched 16 points (6-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and five rebounds across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 126-97 loss to the Nuggets.
Impact After shooting 31.8 percent from the field over his previous two games, Craig broke out of his brief scoring slump Wednesday with a team-high scoring haul on perfect shooting from the field. However, only one of those field goals came in the second half as the Suns fell to the Nuggets for their seventh loss in their last eight games.
