Brooks is making steady progress in his recovery from a broken hand, and he's nearing the three-week mark of his initial 4-6 week timetable. In a best-case scenario, Brooks might be able to make it back to the court by March 24. Once he's cleared for contact, we'll know he's on the cusp of a return.
Allen will miss a third straight game due to soreness in his left knee. His next chance to play will come Sunday against Toronto. In the meantime, look for Ryan Dunn and Rasheer Fleming to see more playing time.
O'Neale will miss his second consecutive contest due to left knee soreness, marking the first time all season the veteran forward has been sidelined for multiple games. His absence should lead to another start for either Jordan Goodwin or Rasheer Fleming. Prior to the injury, O'Neale had been a vital floor-spacer for Phoenix, shooting 40.3 percent from deep on the season. His next opportunity to return to the lineup will come Sunday against the Raptors.
This is a huge blow for the Suns, as Williams has managed to remain relatively healthy up until this point in the campaign. His absence for the next few weeks should open up opportunities for Oso Ighodaro and Khaman Maluach at center.
Out
A. Coffey
Coffey exited Thursday's loss to the Spurs after spraining his ankle and will now miss Saturday's game. However, he's not a large enough part of the rotation for his playing status to impact fantasy leagues.
Out
H. Highsmith
Highsmith will be held out of the front end of this back-to-back set due to right knee injury management, and his next opportunity to play will come Sunday against the Raptors. With the 29-year-old forward out, Ryan Dunn and Rasheer Fleming are candidates for increased playing time.
