The Phoenix Suns will enter Saturday’s home meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks missing several rotation players after Thursday’s last-second defeat in San Antonio.
Forward Dillon Brooks (broken left hand) and center Mark Williams (stress reaction, left foot) remain out. Veteran wing Amir Coffey sprained his left ankle in Thursday’s first half and did not return; he has been ruled out for Saturday. Forward Haywood Highsmith (right knee injury management) is also sidelined for a second consecutive contest.
Guard Grayson Allen, who sat the past two games because of a left knee injury, is listed as questionable. Swingman Royce O’Neale, held out Thursday for the first time this season with left knee soreness, is doubtful.
Star guard Devin Booker avoided the injury report despite stepping on De’Aaron Fox’s foot while launching a desperation three at the buzzer Thursday night.
Additional Pacific Division updates
Clippers: Kawhi Leonard (left ankle sprain) is questionable for Saturday’s road game against the Dallas Mavericks. Through 54 appearances, the 34-year-old forward is averaging 28.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.0 steals, shooting 50.4% from the field, 38.3% from three and 89.8% at the line in 32.3 minutes.
Lakers: Austin Reaves has been managing a right wrist problem, but the guard is now questionable for Saturday in Orlando due to a sore left hip. The fifth-year veteran is widely expected to decline his $14.9 million player option for 2026-27 to test unrestricted free agency.
Kings: Malik Monk left Thursday’s heavy loss to Philadelphia after injuring his right shoulder on a drive contested by Andre Drummond. Sacramento does not play again until Sunday and has yet to issue an updated report on the guard’s status.
The Bucks visit Phoenix on Saturday, while the Clippers face the Mavericks in Dallas and the Lakers travel to Orlando the same night. Sacramento’s next game is Sunday.
