Dario Saric Could Miss Monday's Contest
Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric (quad) is questionable to suit up for Monday's preseason game against the Denver Nuggets.

Frank Kaminsky would see more minutes coming his […]
Ricky Rubio Will Rest Against Blazers
Phoenix Suns point guard Ricky Rubio (rest) will not suit up for Saturday's preseason game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He'll be joined alongside by teammates Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton.
