Phoenix Suns: Chris Paul 'getting close' to returning from sore right heel Chris Paul will miss his 13th consecutive game Sunday at San Antonio with what the Phoenix Suns are calling a sore right heel.

Mikal Bridges - Probable at San Antonio Bridges (knee) is probable for Sunday's matchup against the Spurs.
Impact Bridges, who has played 330 consecutive games, feared he suffered a hyperextended knee during Friday's loss to the Rockets, but it appears he'll be fine for Sunday. However, it wouldn't be surprising if he saw fewer minutes than usual. Over the past five games, he's averaged 14.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.4 steals and a block in 38.2 minutes.

Chris Paul - Still out Sunday Paul (heel) will not take the floor Sunday against the Spurs, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Paul will miss the Suns' opening leg of the back-to-back set due to a heel injury that has kept him out since early November. He has yet to be given an official timeline for a return, but for as long as he is out, Cameron Payne will remain the starting point guard in Phoenix.

Deandre Ayton - Struggles against Rockets Ayton amassed eight points (4-7 FG), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 30 minutes during Friday's 122-121 loss to the Rockets.
Impact The Suns suffered an uncharacteristic loss to the Rockets on Friday, and Ayton's struggles were part of the downfall. He committed a season-high five turnovers and failed to record a double-double for the first time since Nov. 16. The Suns' next game, Sunday at San Antonio, should be a good bounce-back opportunity.
