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 ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Minnesota Timberwolves have learned that Donte DiVincenzo will be out indefinitely due to a big toe injury.

DiVincenzo injured his left foot’s big toe, which has been placed into a boot. Him and the organization will seek all options before making a final decision.

The 27-year-old’s injury is untimely, as he was just moved into Minnesota’s starting lineup. DiVincenzo put up a season-high 28 points in their loss to the Golden State Warriors.

There’s an expectation of him returning to the starting five once he is healthy.

Bucks Interested In Trading For Bradley Beal

According to Marc Stein, the Milwaukee Bucks want to get involved in this year’s trade deadline; they will do that by potentially trading for Bradley Beal. The Phoenix Suns are testing Beal’s trade value.

Currently, the Bucks have shown more interest in Beal than Jimmy Butler. Butler has been connected to Milwaukee’s radar for a while now. However, it appears a mindset shift has been made, which means Beal is in front of Butler for now.

General Manager Jon Horst has kept his eye on Beal since he wanted out from the Washington Wizards. It wouldn’t be shocking if the Bucks put together an enticing offer the Suns couldn’t refuse.

A deal with the Bucks could be done; why? Because Phoenix could see them as a third team to help facilitate Butler to Phoenix without Miami taking on Beal’s contract. It’s a win-win for all parties involved.

While interest and rumors are spiking, it is unknown if Beal would waive his No-Trade Clause to join the Bucks.

In 29 games this season, the 31-year-old is averaging 17.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.3 assists.

Karl-Anthony Towns Has Bone Chip & Sprain In Right Thumb

According to multiple reports, the New York Knicks have discovered that Karl-Anthony Towns not only has a sprain but a bone chip in his right thumb.

His right hand is his shooting hand. There is good news, though: Towns is willing to play through the injury. This injury doesn’t require surgery during or after the season.

Towns missed Wednesday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Jericho Sims started in his absence.
