GAME LOG

Iffe Lundberg - Makes NBA debut Lundberg finished with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one assist across four minutes Sunday in the Suns' 117-96 loss to the Thunder.
Impact Lundberg initially came to terms with the Suns on a two-way deal back in mid-March, but he wasn't cleared to immediately suit up for the team while he looked to faced several roadblocks in securing his visa and traveling from Russia to the United States. He finally joined the Suns for practice Tuesday and dressed for games Wednesday against the Warriors and Friday against the Warriors, but he went unused in those closely-contested matchups. With three key players in Jae Crowder, Deandre Ayton and Devin Booker all resting Sunday, however, Lundberg finally got the chance to make his NBA debut in garbage time. Since the Suns have already clinched the NBA's best record, Lundberg could see his role expand slightly in the final four games of the regular season.

Cameron Johnson - Starting at OKC Johnson will start at power forward in Sunday's game against the Thunder.
Impact With the Suns resting several starters, including Jae Crowder, Johnson will move into the starting five in just his second game back from an extended absence due to a quadriceps injury. Johnson looked a bit rusty in Friday's loss to the Grizzlies, finishing with one point (0-5 FG, 1-2 FT) and three turnovers in 18 minutes off the bench.
APRIL 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
JaVale McGee - Starting at OKC McGee will start Sunday's game against the Thunder.
Impact With Deandre Ayton resting, McGee will get a chance to make his first start since back on Jan. 24. He figures to see a notable bump in minutes, though it's worth noting that over his 14 previous starts this season, McGee averaged a relatively pedestrian 20.8 minutes per contest.
APRIL 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Landry Shamet - Draws start Sunday Shamet is starting Sunday's game against the Thunder, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
Impact The Suns are resting several of their starters for Sunday's matchup, so Shamet will make his first start in nearly a month. He's averaged 7.3 points in 17.5 minutes per game across his last four appearances.

Jae Crowder - Out at OKC Crowder is resting for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Crowder, Deandre Ayton and Devin Booker are all getting the night off. More minutes should be in store for Torrey Craig, Cameron Johnson, Landry Shamet and JaVale McGee.

Deandre Ayton - Resting at OKC Ayton will rest for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Ayton, Devin Booker and Jae Crowder are getting the night off. In their absences, more time should be available for JaVale McGee, Landry Shamet, Torrey Craig and Cameron Johnson.

Devin Booker - Resting Sunday Booker is resting Sunday against the Thunder, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Booker, Deandre Ayton and Jae Crowder will all rest for the game against the tanking Thunder. In their absences, more minutes should be available for Landry Shamet, Cameron Johnson, Torrey Craig and JaVale McGee.

Cameron Johnson - Gets light run in return Johnson (quadriceps) finished with one point (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and two rebounds across 18 minutes Friday in the Suns' 122-114 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact Unsurprisingly, Johnson looked rusty during his limited time on the court Friday in what marked his first action since March 4 after a 13-game absence due to a bruised right quad. Prior to getting hurt, Johnson had averaged 21.8 points, 4.5 triples, 3.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists in 29.7 minutes per contest over a six-game stretch, though it bears mentioning that Chris Paul was sidelined for all of those contests while Devin Booker missed four. Phoenix now has all its core rotation players back to full strength heading into the final five games of the regular season, and with the team having already clinched the NBA's best record, head coach Monty Williams may not be eager to ramp up Johnson's playing time in advance of the postseason.

Booker leads Phoenix against Oklahoma City after 41-point game

Phoenix takes on the Oklahoma City Thunder after Devin Booker scored 41 points in the Suns' 122-114 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies
APRIL 2, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Chris Paul - Double-digit assists not enough Paul finished with eight points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 11 assists, three steals and one rebound in the 122-114 loss to Memphis on Friday.
Impact Paul's performance was just the sixth time this season he's taken six or fewer shots in a game, but he remained productive offensively as a facilitator. Look for him to get more involved in the scoring column down the stretch.
APRIL 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
JaVale McGee - Near double-double off bench McGee posted eight points (4-7 FG), 12 rebounds, two blocks and one steal in the 122-114 loss to the Grizzlies on Friday.
Impact McGee reached double-digit rebounds for the first time since early March and logged his highest minute count in almost two months. The veteran center led the game in rebounds and blocks in 22 minutes off the bench.

Devin Booker - Leads all scorers Booker put up 41 points (17-28 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and four assists in Friday's 122-114 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact Booker stayed hot against Memphis, but it was not enough as Phoenix saw its nine-game win streak come to an end. The three-time All-Star has scored at least 35 points in three of his last four games, shooting 61.3 percent from the field and 50.0 percent from deep in those contests.
