Update on Suns injury report

While Devin Booker and Cam Johnson aren’t coming back any time soon, fans do have some hope for Monday’s game against the Knicks. The hope is what? Landry Shamet and Cam Payne are listed as probable for their game against New York.

Shamet, sore achilles tendon, and Johnson, sore foot, will most likely play; barring any setbacks, we should be seeing a semi-healthy Suns team.

Payne has missed the Suns’ last nine games. Shamet has missed the last three games. Over the course of missing these players, Phoenix has gone 4-6 over the past ten games.

The game begins tomorrow at 1 PM Arizona Time. Still no Booker, Crowder, and Johnson; however, with Johnson, he has been ramping up his on-court load. While not being cleared for contact, these are the right steps being taken for his must-needed return.

According to Houston Rockets’ head coach Ime Udoka, with Dorian Finney-Smith still recovering from offseason ankle surgery, he is set to miss the season opener on October 21st. They will be facing the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Udoka said he has no timetable of when the 32-year-old will be back, as they will be cautious and not rushing him back into the swing of things.

“No, probably not,” Ime Udoka said when asked if Finney-Smith would be ready for the opener.

Finney-Smith recently signed a four-year, $53 million contract with Houston earlier in the summer.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, like the Al Horford scenario, two players have verbally committed to playing for the Golden State Warriors.

Golden State got confirmation from Gary Payton II and De’Anthony Melton that they both will be on the Warriors’ roster for the upcoming season. This is shortly after Horford committed to a multi-year deal.

Payton will be returning to the Warriors for his sixth-straight season, with Melton returning for his second season. His first run didn’t go so well due to him tearing his ACL mid-November.

These signings will be official once the Jonathan Kuminga situation is resolved. The deadline for Kuminga to sign his qualifying offer is October 1st.
