Suns' Josh Okogie: Doesn't practice Tuesday
Okogie (hamstring) was absent from Tuesday's practice, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Okogie missed Sunday's preseason contest against the Nuggets due to a hamstring injury. While his status for the regular season is uncertain, his absence from practice is a bad sign for his chances of playing in Thursday's preseason finale against the Clippers.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Limited in practice
Coach Mike Budenholzer said Tuesday that Allen (Achilles) hasn't done any basketball work, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Allen has been a limited participant during practices due to Achilles soreness, though the club is aiming to have him back by Opening Night. The sharpshooter has yet to appear in the preseason, and he has only one more chance to do, which will come Thursday against the Lakers.

Suns' Jusuf Nurkic: Still absent from practice
Coach Mike Budenholzer said Tuesday that Nurkic (finger) has yet to do any contact practice and is working on his conditioning, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Nurkic hasn't seen any action this preseason due to a left middle finger injury. While Nurkic will almost certainly miss Phoenix's preseason finale against the Lakers on Thursday, his availability to begin the regular season is uncertain.

Suns' Devin Booker: Moves past ankle issue
Coach Mike Budenholzer said Booker (ankle) is ready to go after looking great during Tuesday's practice, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Booker has missed the past two exhibitions due to right ankle soreness but will return to action for Thursday's preseason finale against the Lakers. With Tyus Jones (rest) in the fold, Booker is expected to move back to shooting guard after averaging a career-high 6.9 assists per game last season.

Suns' Bol Bol: Sniffs double-double
Bol notched 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, an assist and a block across 28 minutes in Sunday's 118-114 preseason win over the Nuggets.
Bol hadn't seen the court much during the preseason, but he made his presence felt on both ends in this win. That said, Jusuf Nurkic is entrenched as the Suns' starting center for 2024-25, meaning Bol will have to compete for the backup role with Mason Plumlee. Bol's fantasy upside will be minimal once the regular season begins against the Clippers on Oct. 23.

Suns' Monte Morris: Scores 20 points in spot start
Morris delivered 20 points (7-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 26 minutes in Sunday's 118-114 preseason win over the Nuggets.
Morris got the start Sunday in place of Tyus Jones, as the Suns decided to rest their key players with the regular season right around the corner. Even though Morris took advantage of this opportunity to deliver a solid showing Sunday, he's not expected to carve a meaningful role for the Suns once the regular season begins, at least from a fantasy perspective.

Suns' Ryan Dunn: Excellent vs. Denver
Dunn delivered 20 points (7-15 FG, 6-11 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists, two steals and three blocks across 30 minutes in Sunday's 118-114 preseason win over the Nuggets.
Dunn co-led the Suns in scoring Sunday, but his contributions on the defensive end of the court are even more important, as that will probably land him a role in the rotation as the season progresses. The rookie is a player worth targeting in most dynasty formats. However, fantasy managers should probably overlook Dunn in standard formats for now.

Suns' Monte Morris: Gets spot start Sunday
Morris will start Sunday's preseason game against the Nuggets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Morris will enter the starting lineup due to Phoenix's starting five getting the night off. Morris could work his way into the rotation behind Tyus Jones, but the ball dominance of the team's top players limits the fantasy relevance of all of the team's role players, let alone one in Morris' situation.

Suns' Bol Bol: Starting Sunday
Bol will start Sunday's preseason game against the Nuggets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Bol has struggled to produce during preseason action, but he will get an opportunity at a heavier workload Sunday with all of the Suns' starters resting. It remains unlikely he sees a substantial role come the regular season.

Suns' Royce O'Neale: Starting Sunday
O'Neale will start Sunday's preseason game against the Nuggets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
O'Neale will enter the starting lineup due to all of Phoenix's usual starters getting the night off. O'Neale will likely be a rotational piece for the Suns come the regular season.

Suns' Tyus Jones: Won't play Sunday
Jones will be held out of Sunday's preseason game for rest purposes, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Jones will get a night off alongside the rest of Phoenix's starters. His next opportunity to suit up will come Thursday against the Lakers.

Suns' Bradley Beal: Resting Sunday
Beal will be held out of Sunday's preseason game against the Nuggets for rest purposes, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Beal will get the night off Sunday after scoring 17 points in 24 minutes of action Friday. His next opportunity to suit up comes Thursday against the Lakers.

Suns' Kevin Durant: Out Sunday
Durant will be held out of Sunday's preseason game against the Nuggets for rest purposes, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Durant will join the rest of the Suns' starters on the bench for Sunday's contest. His next opportunity to suit up will come Thursday against the Lakers.

Suns' Devin Booker: Remains out Sunday
Booker (ankle) won't play in Sunday's preseason game versus the Nuggets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Booker will miss his second straight preseason contest Sunday due to right ankle soreness. The star guard's next chance to suit up is Thursday's preseason matchup with the Lakers.

Suns' Josh Okogie: Ruled out Sunday
Okogie won't play in Sunday's preseason game against the Nuggets due to a hamstring injury, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
It's unclear if the hamstring injury is severe or not, but the Suns are being cautious with Okogie and won't risk him with the regular season just around the corner. The Suns have one more game left in their preseason schedule, against the Lakers on Oct. 17, before opening their 2024-25 campaign against the Clippers on Oct. 23.

Suns' Jusuf Nurkic: Out against Denver
Nurkic (finger) won't play in Sunday's preseason game versus the Nuggets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Nurkic has yet to suit up this preseason while dealing with a left middle finger injury. While it's unclear if Nurkic will be good to go for the beginning of the regular season, his next chance to suit up will be Thursday's preseason matchup with the Lakers.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Won't play vs. Denver
Allen (Achilles) won't play in Sunday's preseason game against the Nuggets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Allen is aiming to be available for the regular-season opener against the Clippers on Oct. 23, so it's not surprising to see him being held out of a preseason contest. The Suns have just one preseason game left before the start of the 2024-25 campaign.

Suns' Ryan Dunn: Blocks two shots in start Friday
Dunn closed with five points (1-6 FG, 1-5 3PT, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 22 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to the Pistons.
Dunn moved into the starting lineup, replacing Devin Booker, who was given the night off. Although Dunn impressed on the defensive end, he struggled to find his rhythm offensively. At this stage, he is no certainty to make the nightly rotation. Managers can overlook him in all fantasy formats aside from dynasty.

Suns' Mason Plumlee: Gets starting nod again Friday
Plumlee totaled six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 18 minutes during Friday's loss to Detroit.
Plumlee remained in the starting lineup Friday, filling in for the injured Jusuf Nurkic who is sidelined due to a finger injury. Although it appears as though Nurkic will be healthy once the season proper arrives, Plumlee is someone to monitor if Nurkic suffers another injury.

Suns' Bol Bol: Goes 1-of-6 from field in loss
Bol finished with two points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3PT), eight rebounds and two assists in 17 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to the Pistons.
Bol struggled from the field in the loss, doing very little to convince the coaching staff that he should be a regular piece in the rotation. Outside of a few very brief flashes, Bol has never been a sustainable asset, be it in reality or fantasy. Barring a sudden change in playing time expectations, Bol should not be considered in drafts outside of very deep formats.
