Phoenix Suns guard Eric Gordon has been ruled out for the team’s Monday night matchup against the Chicago Bulls.
Gordon was considered questionable leading up to the matchup with right wrist soreness after playing 30 minutes and scoring four points — he went 1-of-6 from three — on Sunday.
Fellow guard Grayson Allen, however, is available after he was deemed a game-time decision listed as questionable with left knee soreness.
Suns head coach Frank Vogel told reporters pregame that the team was hopeful the guard could play.
