Cameron Johnson Resting Against Indiana
2 years agoPhoenix Suns forward Cameron Johnson (knee) won't play on Saturday against the Pacers. The 26-year-old returned from a lengthy layoff on Thursday versus the Brooklyn Nets, scoring 19 points in 21 minutes of work. However, he will get a night off to rest before presumably returning for Sunday's meeting with the visiting Grizzlies. Nevertheless, without Johnson in the lineup, Dario Saric will get the spot start, with the veteran averaging 9.2 points and 4.4 rebounds while shooting a whopping 48.5% from deep in 10 starts this season. Considering Devin Booker (groin), Deandre Ayton (illness), and Chris Paul (hip) are also out, there's room for Saric to be more productive.
