Steph Curry Reacts to Damion Lee's Big Night vs. Warriors Phoenix Suns guard Damion Lee cooked his old Golden State Warriors teammates
Saben Lee - Left off injury report Lee (personal) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus Denver.
Impact It appears that Lee will be available for Wednesday's game after missing his previous contest with the Raptors 905 of the G league due to a personal reason. The 23-year-old guard is in a position to receive playing time with Devin Booker (groin), Chris Paul (hip), Cameron Payne (foot) and Landry Shamet (hip) all out.
JANUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Landry Shamet - Remains out Wednesday Shamet (hip) has been ruled out Wednesday against the Nuggets, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact Although Shamet was able to participate in the Suns' shootaround Tuesday, he'll be sidelined for both ends of the back-to-back set. He's one of several players in the backcourt who will remain out Wednesday, so Damion Lee, Duane Washington and Josh Okogie should continue to see increased playing time.
JANUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Deandre Ayton - Remains sidelined against Denver Ayton (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact Ayton will miss both legs of the Suns' back-to-back with a left ankle sprain. Jock Landale and Bismack Biyombo will likely continue to receive extended minutes in his absence. Ayton's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with the Timberwolves.
JANUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Paul - Out again Wednesday Paul (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact Paul will miss a third straight game due to a hip injury he suffered in last Friday's loss to the Heat. Landry Shamet (hip), Devin Booker (groin) and Cameron Payne (foot) are also out, so Duane Washington figures to draw another start, while Damion Lee sees an increased role off the bench. Paul's next chance to suit up will come Friday against Minnesota.
JANUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Damion Lee - Scores 22 points off bench Lee had 22 points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 14-14 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 125-113 win over Golden State.
Impact Lee received his ring for winning last year's NBA Finals with the Warriors before the matchup and proceeded to play like a champion during the contest. The backup guard was aggressive early and often and was awarded with 14 trips to the free-throw line, which he took full advantage of. Lee's 22 points were a season high and marked his first 20-plus-point game of the campaign. He figures to continue seeing an increased role as long as Chris Paul (hip), Cameron Payne (foot), Devin Booker (groin) and Landry Shamet (hip) are all out, but Lee's prolific production from Tuesday is likely unsustainable.
JANUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dario Saric - Nears double-double in win Saric racked up 19 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 125-113 victory over Golden State.
Impact Saric was limited to three points, four rebounds, two assists and two steals in Sunday's start against the Cavaliers despite playing 26 minutes, but he was much more efficient Tuesday and came within one rebound of his first double-double of the season. He's played double-digit minutes in four of his last five appearances and has averaged 8.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 20.8 minutes per game during that time.

Saben Lee - Lands 10-day contract The Suns signed Lee (personal) to a 10-day contract Wednesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact Lee had been playing for the G League's Raptors 905, but he'll join Phoenix to provide additional depth in the backcourt. He missed the 905's last game due to a personal matter, but the Suns' decision to sign him implies that he's likely not expected to be away for an extended period. It's unclear if he'll be available for the Suns' matchup against the Nuggets on Wednesday, however.
JANUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mikal Bridges - Impressive against Warriors Bridges totaled 26 points (10-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal over 41 minutes during Tuesday's 125-113 victory over the Warriors.
Impact The Suns were without Deandre Ayton (ankle), Chris Paul (hip), Devin Booker (groin), Cameron Payne (foot) and Landry Shamet (hip), so it was time for the role players to step their game up and for the starters, it was the time to shine and garner a bigger role on offense. That's exactly what happened with Bridges, and he delivered, as he led the Suns in scoring while also contributing decent numbers in other categories. He has scored in double digits in nine games in a row and is averaging 15.2 points per game in that span.
JANUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Torrey Craig - Posts double-double in win Craig recorded 12 points (5-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt), 14 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 125-113 win over Golden State.
Impact Craig was dealing with a right ankle sprain before the game and was deemed available only a few hours before the contest, but the injury didn't seem to affect him, as he ended with a double-double while logging 33 minutes. Craig has been a regular starter this season and is averaging 9.3 points with 6.3 rebounds per game in that role so far.
JANUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Duane Washington Jr. - Excellent in spot start Washington totaled 21 points (6-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, five assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 125-113 win over Golden State.
Impact Washington got the start in a tough matchup and with the Suns extremely shorthanded in backcourt depth, as Chris Paul (hip), Devin Booker (groin), Cameron Payne (foot) and Landry Shamet (hip) were all out. However, the former Buckeye standout got the job done and finished as one of Phoenix's most productive players in the win, as Phoenix spoiled Stephen Curry's return to action. Given the injury woes on the Suns' backcourt, it wouldn't be surprising if Washington gets another start when Phoenix takes on Denver in the second half of a back-to-back Wednesday.
