Johnson and McGee a go for tonight’s game against the Grizzlies

Per Monty Williams, coach of the Phoenix Suns, the Suns will be getting back two key players here tonight against Memphis. Cameron Johnson and JaVale McGee will be suiting up and will be playing as that is without doubt.

Johnson has been progressing to play in tonight’s game after being listed as doubtful in their last game, as it is nice to have him back. Suns have managed a pretty nice record (to say the least) while their forward was out 13 games.

Johnson has been out due to a quad contusion as he suffered the injury at the hands of the New York Knicks. Remember that game and kind of sportsmanship the Knicks had? Cameron Johnson got retribution and delivered the Suns on a beauty of a game-winner.

JaVale McGee is returning to the court after missing two games due to a non-COVID illness; Phoenix will now have Ayton, McGee, and Craig all in the rotation. Somewhat the normal ways of how they did things before things went funky.

Suns play the Grizzlies tonight at 5 PM AZ Time. Phoenix will be going for a single-season franchise record of numbers of wins, that will be 63 wins (if they win tonight).
