Phoenix Suns guard Jordan Goodwin is not listed on the team’s injury report ahead of Tuesday night’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Goodwin missed four straight games after exiting mid-game during Phoenix’s Nov. 2 loss against the Golden State Warriors with a right calf injury. The Suns went 2-2 during that span.

Goodwin’s return provides the versatility the Suns have been missing off the bench, as his rebounding presence, 3-point shooting ability and defensive intensity help in areas Phoenix has been lacking consistency in so far this season.

The 28-year-old is averaging 7.8 pts, 3.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.6 steals with a 37.5% 3-point percentage in five games this season. He signed a three-year, $19 million extension in June after putting together similar numbers for Phoenix a season ago.

The Clippers will be without several key players, including former Suns guard Bradley Beal, who has yet to play in the 2026-27 season as he continues recovering from right knee inflammation.

Forward Brandon Ingram (right heel surgery) and center Yanic Konan Niederhauser (right lisfranc surgery) have also yet to suit up this season and are out again Tuesday night. Phoenix’s Mark Williams and Los Angeles’ Jordan Miller both had surgeries to repair left shoulder injuries, and remain out for extended time.
