The Phoenix Suns will have forward Cam Johnson and guard Landry Shamet available against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Shamet, who missed the Suns’ first two games with a left hip strain, was listed as probable on Sunday’s injury report.
Johnson was questionable to play with a right hip contusion while backup wing Ish Wainright is out due to lower back pain.
Shamet is in his second season with the Suns after being acquired from the Brooklyn Nets. The former Clipper played 69 regular season games with Phoenix last year, when he scored 8.3 points per game.
Shamet shot 36.8% from beyond the arc on 4.8 attempts per contest and finished with an effective field goal percentage of 52.1%.
