The Phoenix Suns will be at full strength in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals against the Los Angeles Clippers at the Staples Center on Saturday night.

That’s because for the first time this postseason, the Suns injury report was completely empty.

Phoenix head coach Monty Williams went with a starting five of Chris Paul, Devin Booker, Mikal Bridges, Jae Crowder and Deandre Ayton.

For Los Angeles, head coach Tyronn Lue deployed Pat Beverley, Reggie Jackson, Paul George, Marcus Morris and Ivica Zubac.

Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard remained out due to a sprained right knee.

Suns guard Cam Payne made his return off the bench after departing Game 3 due to an ankle injury he suffered in the first quarter.

The Suns won the contest 84-80 to take a commanding 3-1 series lead and are now one win away from their first trip to the NBA Finals since 1993.

Phoenix will look to punch a ticket to the NBA Finals with a win in Game 5 at home on Monday night.

Tip-off is set for 6 p.m.

Catch all the action on 98.7 FM Arizona’s Sports Station.
