00:00Good to be back with you Suns fans. As we gear up for the first game coming out of the
00:05All-Star
00:05break, the team is getting some much-needed reinforcements tonight against the San Antonio
00:10Spurs. Let's start with the backcourt. Guard Grayson Allen is officially off the injury report.
00:15For Thursday's matchup, he had been sidelined for the last three games before the break
00:20due to a knee issue. This is a player who has dealt with some physical setbacks this season,
00:25including a right quad injury back in November and a right knee issue combined with an illness
00:29in December, so seeing him healthy is a big plus. But the good news doesn't stop there.
00:34The Suns will also have Devin Booker available tonight. He is off the injury report after missing
00:39that final game before the All-Star break against the Oklahoma City Thunder. On February 11th,
00:44joining him in the return is Jalen Green, who was also out for that same Thunder game.
00:49Additionally, Isaiah Livers, who has missed the last three games due to a shoulder issue,
00:54is cleared to play as well. Now, just to give you some perspective on what Allen brings to the floor,
00:59In 35 games this season, he is averaging an impressive 17 points per game, while shooting
01:0541.8% from the field, along with four assists and four rebounds. He's also connecting on 36.9%
01:13of his shots from beyond the arc, switching over to the opposition. The Spurs will be shorthanded
01:18tonight. They have Lindy Waters III listed as out due to a left knee hyperextension, and Mason Plumlee
01:24will also be sidelined as he continues return to competition reconditioning. One more note on the
01:29suspension front. This one involves Dylan Brooks, who is out for this game after being assessed his
01:3516th technical foul against the Thunder, which triggers an automatic one-game suspension. Also,
01:42Cole Anthony remains out as he is not with the team. So, with the squad finally getting healthy and key
01:49pieces coming back at the right time, what are you most looking forward to seeing in this return
01:54matchup against the Spurs?
