Suns wing Damion Lee, who underwent knee surgery last month, is still using crutches, but head coach Frank Vogel says he will be "off of them very soon." The team has not provided a specific timetable for Lee's recovery, but Vogel hopes he will be able to return sometime during the 2023/24 season. Lee's absence adds to the Suns' injury woes, as star forward Kevin Durant is questionable for Friday's game due to foot soreness, and big man Drew Eubanks has been ruled out with a sprained ankle. Additionally, Bradley Beal and Yuta Watanabe are sidelined with longer-term injuries. Despite these setbacks, the Suns remain in contention for a wild card spot in the Western Conference, and a victory in their final tournament game against the Memphis Grizzlies could help their chances. The Grizzlies, however, have been struggling this season, with a 3-11 record, and will rely on Desmond Bane's offensive production in the absence of key players. The Suns have the advantage in perimeter shooting, but will need to maintain mental sharpness and focus on execution in order to secure a win.
