Suns injury update. Phoenix down 4 players to begin homestand vs Bucks

Yahoo Sports

The Phoenix Suns have clinched a play-in spot and are seventh in the West going into a four-game homestand.

The Phoenix Suns look to end a four-game skid on Saturday, March 21, against the Milwaukee Bucks as they ended a six-game road trip March 19 with a 101-100 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Victor Wembanyama hit a game-winning jumper with 1. 1 seconds to stun the Suns (39-31), who led by as many as 10 points in the fourth quarter.

“We just need to keep going,” Suns rookie Rasheer Fleming said. “We were right there, but games can change just like that. We were up for the most part.

It just flipped just like that off little stuff like the free throws, but other stuff happened in the game, too. It can just change just like that, but overall, we're right there. We can just turn this around just as fast as that game turned around.

So we just all need to keep our heads up. ” Seventh in the West, the Suns have clinched a play-in position as they are three games behind the Denver Nuggets (42-28) for sixth and the Houston Rockets (41-27) for fifth. Denver and Houston have the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Suns, who face both teams one more time in the regular season at home.
