Mikal Bridges - Scores 21 in loss Bridges racked up 21 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block over 37 minutes during Friday's 113-104 loss to the Raptors.
Impact Bridges reached the 20-point mark for the first time since a Dec. 19 win over the Lakers, and he took advantage of a poor performance from Deandre Ayton and the absence of Devin Booker (groin) to carry the team on offense. He averaged 15.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game in December.

Chris Paul - Double-doubles Friday Paul closed Friday's 113-104 loss to the Raptors with 20 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, 12 assists and one steal across 35 minutes.
Impact Paul has been playing very well of late, reaching the 20-point mark in back-to-back contests for the first time in the campaign while also notching three double-doubles over his last six contests. He's averaging 15.7 points, 8.6 assists and 4.2 rebounds over 13 contests since returning from a lengthy 14-game absence due to a nagging heel injury.

Jock Landale - Slides back to bench Landale will return to the second unit for Friday's game against Toronto.
Impact Landale had started two straight games but will return to the bench in favor of Josh Okogie. In 28 games with the second unit this season, Landale has averaged 6.4 points and 3.8 rebounds.
DECEMBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Okogie - Starting Friday Okogie will join the starting five for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Impact Okogie has become a larger part of the Suns rotation in December with Devin Booker (groin) and Cameron Payne (foot) missing large portions of the month, averaging 8.5 points and 5.1 rebounds and 19.6 minutes per game across 13 appearances. His addition to the starting lineup bounces Jock Landale back to the bench.

Cameron Johnson - Still out Friday Johnson (knee) won't take the floor Friday versus the Raptors.
Impact Johnson is on the road trip with Phoenix, suggesting he could have an opportunity to make his return from a lengthy layoff before it concludes next Wednesday in Cleveland. He will have two more chances to do so, beginning Monday versus the Knicks.
DECEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Cameron Payne - Sitting out Friday Payne (foot) will miss Friday's game versus the Raptors.
Impact Payne doesn't have a clear timetable for his return to action, but Friday will mark his ninth consecutive game off. With Devin Booker (groin) and Landry Shamet (Achilles) also out, the Suns will likely turn to Duane Washington, Damion Lee and Josh Okogie, in addition to some extra minutes elsewhere, to fill the void. Chris Paul should handle as many minutes as possible at point guard with minimal depth behind him.
DECEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Landry Shamet - Out again Friday Shamet (Achilles) won't play Friday versus the Raptors.
Impact Shamet will miss his third consecutive game while dealing with right Achilles soreness, leaving the Suns' backcourt down considerable depth with Devin Booker (groin) out at least four weeks and Cameron Payne (foot) also out again. Duane Washington, Damion Lee and Josh Okogie are among the candidates to see additional run Friday as a result.

Mikal Bridges - Solid numbers against Wizards Bridges produced 17 points (6-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 127-102 loss to Washington.
Impact It was a bit of a return to form for Bridges, who had averaged just 9.5 points a game over the prior four contests while going 4-for-14 (28.6 percent) from three-point range. The 26-year-old forward has had an up-and-down December, scoring 20 or more points in five of the first 10 games on the month before his recent skid, but the Suns will need some consistent offense from him heading into the new year with Devin Booker (groin) out for at least the next four weeks.
DECEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Paul - Drops 20 in Wednesday's loss Paul supplied 20 points (8-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and two steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 127-102 loss to the Wizards.
Impact The Phoenix backcourt is getting thin with Devin Booker (groin) out for at least the next four weeks, but Paul did what he could to hold things together. In 11 games since returning to a full workload following his recovery from a heel injury, the veteran point guard is averaging 16.4 points, 8.8 assists, 4.2 boards, 2.4 threes and 1.4 steals. Still, the Suns might need Paul to take on more of the scoring load while Booker is sidelined.
DECEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Deandre Ayton - Hits for 31 in loss to Wizards Ayton closed Wednesday's 127-102 loss to the Wizards with 31 points (14-22 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals over 36 minutes.
Impact With Devin Booker (groin) unavailable, Ayton stepped up for the Suns and set a new season scoring high. The fifth-year center has looked good since returning from a minor ankle injury earlier this month, averaging 22.8 points, 10.3 boards and 0.8 blocks in the last six games while shooting 62.1 percent from the floor, and Phoenix will need to lean on Ayton heavily with Booker out for at least the next four weeks.
