Phoenix Suns guard Tyler Johnson (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards.

That will likely be the […]

Tyler Johnson is Questionable on Saturday
Phoenix Suns guard Tyler Johnson (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings.

Phoenix Suns center Richaun Holmes (quad) was able to return to practice on Wednesday and is expected to be available for Thursday's contest.
