Time: 6:00 pm AZ (5:00 pm PT/8:00 pm ET)
Place: Target Center, Minneapolis, MN
TV: BSAZ/NBALP

It's Friday the 13th so anything can happen. Even a Suns win. But don't bet your house on it. Suns have lost 8 of the last 10. However, the Wolves have been known to help our their opposition with boneheaded play. Ayton is questionable.

[Mori Chu]

This might be one of the rare winnable games out of the next 10. I hope the guys play like it.

[TOO]

Ayton has been questionable for 4 years.

Does it seem like theres an inordinate amount of injuries across the league this year?

Is there any one team as decimated as we are?

[Split T]

Depends on how you consider the Clippers injury managing Kawhi and PG. Philly has had injuries. Pelicans have both Ingram and Zion out. Milwaukee hasn’t had Khris and Jrue has missed games.

Yeah, none of those describe four starters out.

Well yes nothing compares to our current situation, but this is short term. Ayton is back now and has only missed like 6-7 games. Middleton has only played 7 games, Kawhi only 19, Ingram 15. If we’re talking full season some other teams are close.

Well, you posted the proof above. Clippers and Bucks didn't even make the top five.

ETA: I guess that's the Clippers at 3.

I think the Bucks are being penalized because the stat doesn’t think Middleton is good because he’s been awful in the limited games he’s played. But ya the suns still lead.

Oh wow
And we don't have Our Guys available for the big occasion

[Cap]

It's Friday the 13th so anything can happen.

Bad: Jason Vorhees is going to decapitate someone and dunk his head on live TV.

Good: It isn’t you.

Bad: It’s Mikal Bridges

Good: He’s still starting on Monday.

[JeremyG]

I don’t like this. If he rests one more game, he gets 8 days to recover.

[JeremyG]

Oh wow
And we don't have Our Guys available for the big occasion

Why have I never heard of Alex Stivrins in my entire life?

I was laughing out loud and started singing the Sesame Street song, "One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong."

[Superbone]

Stivrins was selected by the Seattle SuperSonics with the 75th overall pick in the 4th round of the 1985 NBA Draft.[2] He played with the Sonics, Phoenix Suns, LA Clippers, Milwaukee Bucks and Atlanta Hawks.

He played for us one season in 92-93. Why the hell is he being included? I don't recall him whatsoever either. Maybe in the verrrrrrrry back of my mind. He was in the league for five seasons and played for five teams.

[JeremyG]

Poor Alex. There’ll be nobody in line at his autograph table.
