What a nightmare start to the season. Ricky injured. Jerome out. Ayton out for 25 games. All we need is Booker to get one of trademark injury tweaks.
Go Suns!

That's the spirit! We can only hope.

And this will be the season TJ Warren plays 80 games.

Didn't TJ tumble and get a concussion during their first game?

Edit: the broadcasters were worried it was a head injury but according to this, it was his hip.

Wait, bruised hip? If the past is any indication, shouldn’t that keep him out 30 games or so?

With no Rubio and no Ayton, this will be rough. I wish Ty Jerome could at least play so he could get more minutes in Rubio's absence. What bad luck already to start the season.

As expected no Rubio tonight :(
Ty actually looks like a capable NBA player and promptly goes down with an injury.
Ayton finds a creative new way to disappoint.
Rubio goes down with an injury.

And the season is two games old. Lovely.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

The momentum of our nice win in our first game is deflating pretty quickly. I was proud that we played so hard against Denver, though.

Why did Tyler Johnson get demoted so quickly? What exactly has led to the newcomer Carter's meteoric rise in our rotation?

Jerome is out and Johnson was supposed to be Booker's backup at SG.

I'm afraid you're going to have to get used to Carter. He's not going anywhere. He's not as bad as you make him out to be. He is very good defensively but I agree he's not a great PG but he's serviceable and much better than any PG we had last year.

Carter plays defense and is a decent shooter. We could do a lot worse...and have done a lot worse.

Clippers with 5 points halfway through the quarter. Horrid shooting.

Our guys gotta let it fly. I've noticed we have open looks and always look to pass. Unselfish to a fault. And Book needs to be more selfish too. He's trying too hard not to score I think.

Yeah but they could still let him start at PG ahead of the 3rd string PG.

EDIT: They could at least let him play backup PG ahead of our 4th string PG. Yikes. Okobo time.

Okobo and Cam Johnson getting time now with 3 minutes left in the 1st.

Refs on their BS again with these fouls.

Just turned it on. Happy to see the Suns leading, I don’t expect that to be the case the whole night but if they can keep it close with how short handed they are, I’ll be super happy.

I am so proud of this team. Whether we win this game or not, it's great to have a team I can cheer and shout about. Really like most of our players and the way they play together.
