Next 5: Suns defense faltering as they continue season without Chris Paul (heel) Here's a look at the next five games for the Phoenix Suns (9-6), losers of five of their last eight games.
NOVEMBER 20, 2022 • AZCENTRAL.COM
Torrey Craig - Season-high scoring haul Craig posted 16 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Friday's 134-133 loss to the Jazz.
Impact Craig set his season high in points Friday while also tying his most three-pointers made. Craig may continue to see increased production with Cameron Johnson (knee) expected to miss at least another month.
NOVEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Landry Shamet - Remains out Sunday Shamet (concussion) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Knicks, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Shamet will miss his fifth consecutive game Sunday due to concussion symptoms. Duane Washington and Damion Lee should continue to see extended playing time in his absence. Shamet's next opportunity to play will be Tuesday's game versus the Lakers.
NOVEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Paul - Out again Sunday, possibly longer Paul (heel) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Knicks and will be re-evaluated later next week, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact While the Suns haven't commented specifically about Paul's status for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, the fact that a re-evaluation won't be coming until later in the week likely suggests that the point guard in line to miss at least a pair of additional contests, if not more. Cameron Payne should continue to operate as the starting point guard in the veteran's absence.
NOVEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dario Saric - Double-digit minutes Saric produced four points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 13 minutes during Friday's 134-133 loss to Utah.
Impact Saric got decent rebounding numbers in his limited time on the court Friday night. Unfortunately, he just hasn't been able to carve out a large enough rotation spot this season, even with Cameron Johnson (meniscus) missing time. With Torrey Craig playing as well as he is, look for these minimal minutes to continue for the Croatian forward.

New York visits Phoenix following Booker's 49-point game
Phoenix faces the New York Knicks after Devin Booker scored 49 points in the Phoenix Suns' 134-133 loss to the Utah JazzNOVEMBER 19, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Cameron Payne - Solid effort in loss Payne finished Friday's 134-133 loss to the Jazz with 17 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five assists and three steals in 34 minutes.
Impact Payne continues to fill in well for Chris Paul, who is still out with a heel injury. The career backup shot over 50 percent for the second straight game and added a season-high three steals. In his last five games, he is averaging 20.0 points and 5.8 assists while also hitting 3.6 three-pointers per contest.
NOVEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Deandre Ayton - Solid performance in loss Ayton logged 17 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and three blocks over 37 minutes during Friday's 134-133 loss to the Jazz.
Impact Ayton had arguably one of his best games of the year so far. Not only did he record his fourth double-double, but his eight assists were a new career high. It was also nice to see the fifth-year center block multiple shots for only the second time this season. Recently, he's gotten back to being a bigger part of the offense too, as this marked the fourth straight game he's made at least seven field goals.
NOVEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Devin Booker - Scores 49 in loss Booker posted 49 points (16-31 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 15-15 FT), eight rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Friday's 134-133 loss to Utah.
Impact Booker scored 45 of his game high 49 points in the first three quarters before getting smothered by Jazz defenders in the fourth. While he went only 2-for-9 from beyond the arc, he shot the ball well overall, including knocking down all 15 of his free throw attempts. The Suns guard also matched his season best with 10 assists and came up just two rebounds short of a triple-double. After Friday's loss, Booker is averaging 28.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game.

Josh Okogie - Good to go Friday Okogie (hamstring) will suit up for Friday's game against the Jazz, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Okogie was questionable to play due to right hamstring soreness but received the green light for Friday's game in Utah.
NOVEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Paul - Unavailable Friday Paul (heel) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Jazz.
Impact Paul will be unavailable for a fifth consecutive matchup due to right heel soreness. Cameron Payne should continue to serve as the Suns' primary point guard after averaging 20.8 points, 6.0 assists and 3.8 rebounds in 33.5 minutes per game over his last four starts.

Josh Okogie - Added to injury report Okogie is considered questionable for Friday's game against the Jazz due to a sore right hamstring, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact Okogie only saw nine minutes of action in Monday's loss to the Heat, so it's unclear if the hamstring issue popped up during the game or sometime during practice. Okogie has only eclipsed 10 minutes in two games this season, so if he's forced to miss Friday's contest, his absence shouldn't affect the Suns' rotation much.
NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Landry Shamet - Sitting Friday Shamet (concussion) will not play in Friday's game against the Jazz, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.comreports.
Impact Shamet remains in the league's concussion protocols, forcing him to miss a fourth consecutive contest. His next opportunity to take the floor will come Sunday against the Knicks.
NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Paul - Listed questionable Friday Paul (heel) is questionable for Friday's contest against the Jazz, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact Paul has sat out the Suns' last four games due to right heel soreness and will come into Friday's tilt with a questionable designation. Cameron Payne has filled Paul's point guard spot in his absence and averaged an impressive 20.8 points and 6.0 assists across those four contests.
