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).

According to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Isaac Okoro is set to miss at least the next two weeks due to an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder.

In 23 games this season, Okoro averages 6.6 points off 49.5% from the field, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 21.0 minutes.

Okoro is in the first year of his three-year, $33 million deal.

Joel Embiid (Sinus) Upgraded Questionable For Friday

According to the Philadelphia 76ers, Joel Embiid has been upgraded to questionable for Friday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets.

The plan is for the team to reevaluate the 30-year-old hours before their game on Friday; it would be a quick turnaround. However, he is already progressing, so there is a possibility of him playing.

Embiid suffered a right sinus fracture during their game against the Indiana Pacers on December 13th; Philadelphia said they would reevaluate him a week from then.

Overall, Embiid has only played six games this season. This is mainly due to suspension, this current injury, and looming knee issues.

Hawks Want To Trade Clint Capela By Deadline

According to multiple reports headlined by Marc Stein, the Atlanta Hawks want to trade Clint Capela’s expiring contract by this year’s trade deadline.

For those unaware, the 30-year-old is making $22.4 million this season, with him becoming an unrestricted free agent next offseason. Atlanta is reportedly not interested in re-signing him.

Onyeka Okongwu, when Capela is no longer with the franchise, is expected to handle the starting center position. The Hawks believe the young big man can handle those responsibilities.

Capela is averaging 10.0 points and 9.4 rebounds in 27 games this season.
