Deandre Ayton, Cameron Payne Miss Wednesday’s Practice
2 years agoPhoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) and point guard Cameron Payne (foot) were both unable to suit up for Wednesday's practice session after having exited Tuesday's contest against Houston early. With Devin Booker (hamstring) already sidelined, Phoenix is facing widespread absences from key contributors ahead of Thursday's meeting with the Clippers. Ayton has produced his usual solid fantasy production in 2022-23, averaging 17 points and 9.5 boards per contest. An absence from the big man would pave the way for Jock Landale and Bismack Biyombo to get more minutes in the frontcourt. Payne has been a key second-unit contributor, with a potential absence funneling more shots in the direction of Landry Shamet and Damion Lee in the short-term.
