Phoenix Star Forward Battling Injury

Phoenix Suns forward Deandre Ayton is questionable for tonight's NBA Cup game against the Milwaukee Bucks due to a right ankle sprain. Ayton suffered the injury during the Suns' win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night.

The Suns are currently 19-12 and in third place in the Western Conference. The Bucks are 21-8 and in first place in the Eastern Conference.

Ayton's Status

Ayton is averaging 17.4 points and 10.2 rebounds per game this season. He is a key part of the Suns' offense and defense.

If Ayton is unable to play, the Suns will likely start Dario Saric at center. Saric is averaging 10.6 points and 6.4 rebounds per game this season.

Bucks' Injury Report

The Bucks are also dealing with some injuries. Khris Middleton is out with a left knee injury and George Hill is out with a right thumb injury.

Despite the injuries, the Bucks are still a formidable opponent. Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 32.1 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game this season.

Conclusion

The Suns and Bucks are two of the best teams in the NBA. Tonight's game is sure to be a close one. If Ayton is unable to play, it will be a big blow to the Suns' chances of winning.
