Knight (ankle) is considered doubtful to play Thursday against the Pelicans, Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic reports.
Knight has missed the last three games with a sprained ankle, and he was unable to participate in Wednesday's practice session. As a result, coach Jeff Hornacek remarked that "it doesn't look like" Knight will play Thursday.

Knight (ankle) did not practice Tuesday and is questionable to play Thursday against the Pelicans, Craig Grialou of 98.7 FM reports.
Knight has missed the last three games with a sprained ankle, and his status going forward remains murky. P.J. Tucker, Gerald Green and Marcus Thornton have been handling the workload at two-guard in his absence.
Sat Mar 14 201517:15Brandon Knight: (Ankle) Out Sunday
Knight (ankle) won't take the floor Sunday against the Knicks, the Arizona Republic reports.
Knight is in line to miss his third game in a row due to a sprained left ankle, but his prospects seem good for a return for the Suns' next tilt Thursday against the Pelicans. As long as he's sidelined, expect P.J. Tucker to hold down the fort at two-guard.
Fri Mar 13 201514:59Brandon Knight: (Ankle) Out Friday, Doubtful Sunday
Knight (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game and is doubtful for Sunday's game, the Arizona Republic's Paul Coro reports.
The Suns will have three days off after Sunday's game during which Knight should be able to get ready to return. With Knight out, Gerald Green and Marcus Thornton will continue to share the minutes alongside Eric Bledsoe with Knight out.
Wed Mar 11 201521:45Brandon Knight: (Ankle) Doubtful For Friday
Knight (ankle) is considered doubtful to play Friday against the Hawks, the Suns' official site reports.
Knight sustained a left ankle sprain during Monday's game, which will relegate him to a spectator Wednesday. He's wearing a brace on the ankle as well as a walking boot for additional protection, and during Tuesday's practice, he was seen on crutches. As a result, an appearance Friday appears slim. In his stead, Marcus Morris will be afforded his 20th start of the season Wednesday.

Knight (ankle) could miss additional games beyond Wednesday's contest, Arizona Sports reports.
Knight landed awkwardly on his foot in Monday's game against Golden State, suffering a sprained left ankle. He's been wearing a brace on the ankle with an aircast for added protection and was spotted on crutches at Tuesday's practice. "You never know, sometimes these things go quick, sometimes they take a while. I don't want to put a timetable on it," Knight said. "I just want to just keep working on it every day and see where we end up." The renowned Suns' training staff has not given Knight a timetable, but considering he's not able to put weight on the foot, it would not be surprising if he remains out Friday against the Hawks or even Sunday against the Knicks.

Knight (ankle) will be held out of Wednesday's game against the TImberwolves, Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic reports.
While X-rays came back negative on Knight's sprained left ankle, he was spotted on crutches at Tuesday's practice, an indication that he could miss multiple games. The Suns are considering him day-to-day for now, though, and Gerald Green or Archie Goodwin are the primary candidates to enter the starting lineup in his place.

Knight has been diagnosed with a sprained left ankle after his X-rays came back negative, Matt Peterson of Suns.com reports.
Knight should be considered day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves. If he's unable to play, coach Jeff Hornacek has multiple options for fulfilling his normal minutes as a starter. These options include Gerald Green, Archie Goodwin, and Eric Bledsoe.
Mon Mar 9 201523:08Brandon Knight: Sprains Ankle Against Warriors
Knight will not return to Monday's game against the Warriors after spraining his left ankle, The Arizona Republic reports.
Knight only spent 13 minutes on the court before exiting with the assistance of the medical staff. The exact severity of the sprain is still unknown, although his availability for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves is looking grim. If he sits, expect Gerald Green to see extended time on the court.

Knight scored 12 points (4-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT) to go along with five rebounds and seven assists in 42 minutes in the overtime win against Brooklyn on Friday.
Knight struggled from the field, but was able to come through with two field goals in the overtime. He was coming off a nice 28-point performance, but is still settling into his new Phoenix digs (as the Suns take a road trip). Knight has provided seven assists in each of his last three games.
Wed Mar 4 201522:04Knight scored 28 points (7-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 10-12 FT) with seven ...
Knight scored 28 points (7-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 10-12 FT) with seven assists and three steals in 39 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Magic.
It's his best performance in seven games since joining the Suns. Knight's numbers have taken a bit of a hit as he adapts to his new surroundings, but hopefully this is a sign he's returning to form.
Mon Mar 2 201522:43Knight scored 13 points (3-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT) to go along w...
Knight scored 13 points (3-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT) to go along with one rebound, seven assists, one steal and one block in 40 minutes Monday against the Heat.
Although Knight was horrendous from the field, it was encouraging that he was able to play 40 minutes. He looks to be safe to deploy as normal going forward.
Mon Mar 2 201518:16Knight (hip) will start Monday's game against Heat
Knight (hip) will start Monday's game against the Heat, Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic reports.
Knight was sidelined for the second half of Saturday's game with a hip pointer, but after resting Sunday he'll play Monday while wearing a pad on his left hip. It's likely that Knight won't be playing at 100 percent as he looks to rebound from an 0-of-6 shooting performance in 17 minutes Saturday.
Mon Mar 2 201511:03Brandon Knight: (Hip) Expected To Start Monday
Knight (hip) is still sore but he is expected to start Monday's game in Miami, the Arizona Republic's Paul Coro reports.
He left Saturday's game with a left hip pointer, but it sounds like his fantasy owners can deploy him in weekly leagues with the current information at our disposal. Swing back to check his status before tip-off, but it sounds like he won't miss any further time because of the injury.
Sat Feb 28 201522:52Brandon Knight: (Hip) Leaves With Hip Injury
Knight left Saturday's game with a hip injury and will not return, the Arizona Republic's Paul Coro reports.
He had just one point and two assists in 17 minutes and was 0-for-6 from the field, so this was a bad night all around for Knight. Consider him day-to-day for now until we get a better understanding of the seriousness of the injury.

Knight had 19 points (7-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, and three rebounds in 33 minutes against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday.
This was Knight's best overall game so far for the Suns. Right now he's averaging 17.3 points, 5.0 assists, 2.3 rebounds and has yet to record a steal or block in his three games as a member of the Suns.
Mon Feb 23 201523:36Knight scored 20 points (8-19 FG, 4-11 3Pt) with four assists in...
Knight scored 20 points (8-19 FG, 4-11 3Pt) with four assists in 34 minutes during Monday's loss to the Celtics.
Eric Bledsoe handled more of the distribution duties, but Knight was still able to make his mark on the scoreboard. Expect his assist totals to rise once he gets used to the Suns' system and his new teammates.
Mon Feb 23 201515:52Knight will get start Monday against Celtics
Knight will get the start Monday against the Celtics, Craig Grialou of 98.7 FM reports.
In his first game with the Suns on Saturday, Knight came off the bench to put up 13 points and five assists in 25 minutes. After an additional day of preparation, he'll unseat Gerald Green in the starting lineup, joining Eric Bledsoe in the backcourt. With Goran Dragic and Isaiah Thomas out of the picture, Knight should see his playing time pick up going forward, and he's likely to see 30-plus minutes on most nights.

Knight came off the bench in his Phoenix debut, scoring 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt) with five assists in 25 minutes Saturday.
Knight was obviously need to get himself acclimatised to the Suns' system, but it would seem doubtful that he will remain on the bench for very long. His value may take a hit, but the Suns' increased pace should keep a lot of his season numbers at a similar level moving forward.
Sat Feb 21 201518:56Brandon Knight: Coming Off Bench Saturday
Knight will come off the bench in his Suns debut Saturday at Chicago, the Arizona Republicreports.
The belief is that Knight will eventually team with Eric Bledsoe in Phoenix's starting backcourt, but the former Buck will seemingly ease into action on his new squad. Instead, coach Jeff Hornacek has opted to bump Gerald Green into the starting five.
