T.J. Warren will join Phoenix Suns leading scorer Devin Booker on the sidelines as their team hosts the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday, reports 98.7 FM Arizona’s Sports Station’s John Gambadoro.
Warren has been dealing with right ankle soreness that kept him out of the last two games, losses to the Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Lakers.
Against the Kings, Phoenix will start Elie Okobo, Mikal Bridges, Josh Jackson, Trevor Ariza and Deandre Ayton, according to Gambadoro.
Head coach Igor Kokoskov said Monday that Warren’s chances of playing in Talking Stick Resort Arena against Sacramento were “slim.”
