Phoenix Suns rookie forward Ryan Dunn was ruled out with a left ankle sprain for Friday night’s game versus the Dallas Mavericks at America Airlines Center.
Devin Booker was a late addition to the injury report, listed as questionable with an illness before tip-off. He will be available.
Bradley Beal was probable with a right elbow sprain for Friday’s game after playing through it during Wednesday’s 115-112 win over the Miami Heat at Footprint Center. In 32 minutes played, Beal contributed seven points, three assists, two rebounds and two blocks.
The Suns said Beal would also play in Dallas.

Dallas ruled out Dante Exum (right wrist surgery), P.J. Washington (right knee sprain) and Dereck Lively II (right shoulder sprain). Max Kleber (hamstring strain) is doubtful.
Dunn exited Wednesday’s game with 9:20 left in the game and did not return. In nine minutes off the bench, Dunn contributed seven points, a rebound and an assist.
The 2024 first-round pick out of Virginia has played in all eight games of Phoenix’s 7-1 start, averaging 6.8 points and 2.3 rebounds per game while shooting 39.4 % from three-point range.
Phoenix defeated Dallas at home 114-102 on Oct. 26, a game in which Dunn started and scored 13 points. Beal missed the game with a right elbow sprain.
The game will tip off from America Airlines Center at 5:30 p.m. on 98.7 and the Arizona Sports app.
