Josh Okogie - Probable Wednesday Okogie (hamstring) is probable for Wednesday's preseason game against the Kings, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Okogie played through the injury during Monday's preseason game against the Nuggets, posting three points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one rebound in 15 minutes. He turned the ball over four times. The former 20th overall pick from 2018 may struggle to be an every-game player for Phoenix.

Dario Saric - Won't play Wednesday Saric won't play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Kings due to personal reasons, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Saric will sit out the last preseason game for the Suns to tend to a personal issue. Barring any major setback, the forward will likely be able to return in time for the regular season opener Wednesday against the Mavericks.
OCTOBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Landry Shamet - Inactive Wednesday Shamet won't play in Wednesday's preseason game against Sacramento due to a left hip strain, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact It's unclear when Shamet picked up the injury, but nonetheless, the guard will be absent for the Suns' final preseason game. With a week before the regular season begins, Shamet should have time to heal his injury and be ready to make an impact opening night.

Mikal Bridges - Drains three triples in loss Bridges registered 14 points (5-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal over 27 minutes in a preseason loss to Denver on Monday.
Impact Bridges struggled with a 1-for-8 mark from the field against the Lakers in his previous preseason game, but he bounced back with a strong shooting effort Monday. The fifth-year forward knocked down three three-pointers for the second time in three preseason contests and finished third on the team with 14 points. Bridges may not be the biggest name on the Suns' roster, but he'll be counted on to provide consistent complementary scoring as the team's starting small forward again this season.
OCTOBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Deandre Ayton - Hits double-double Monday Ayton finished with 19 points (9-12 FG, 1-3 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, three steals and one blocked shot across 27 minutes Monday in a preseason loss to the Nuggets.
Impact Ayton led all players in the contest in rebounds and finished one point behind Devin Booker for high-scoring honors. The big man bounced back nicely from his previous preseason game, when he shot shot 3-for-12 from the field against the Lakers. Ayton is averaging 16.0 points, 8.3 boards and 1.7 steals through three exhibition contests.
OCTOBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Devin Booker - Leads Suns scorers in loss Booker totaled 20 points (5-17 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one steal and one blocked shot over 28 minutes in a preseason loss to Denver on Monday.
Impact Booker shot poorly from the field but hit all eight of his free-throw tries en route to a team-leading 20 points. The All-Star guard is shooting just 37.8 percent from the field -- including 26.3 percent from deep -- through three exhibition games, but he's averaging 18.3 points per contest on the strength of going 16-for-16 from the charity stripe. Booker figures to be the Suns' central scorer again this season, and he'll likely shoot much better once the regular season comes around.
