Thu Apr 2 201521:33Brandon Knight: (Ankle/Heel) Sidelined Thursday
Knight (ankle/heel) won't take the court Thursday at Golden State, the Arizona Republic reports.
Knight will sit for the second game in a row, and 10th time in 11 outings, due to lingering foot issues. As long as he's sidelined, Marcus Morris will remain in the starting lineup, while Gerald Green and Archie Goodwin pick up increased run off the bench.
Wed Apr 1 201520:51Brandon Knight: (Ankle) Doubtful For Thursday
Knight (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's contest in Golden State, the Arizona Republic reports.
Knight mustered 22 minutes following an eight-game absence Sunday against the Thunder, a horrid 1-for-10 performance en route to three points, four assists, two rebounds, and one steal. Because his sprained ankle continues to ail him, there's no telling when he may return to the court.
Mon Mar 30 201521:20Knight (ankle) will not play against Blazers on Monday
Knight (ankle) will not play against the Blazers on Monday, Jabari Young of CSN reports.
Knight returned to action Sunday after missing eight games with a sprained ankle, and he struggled mightily, going 1-of-10 from the floor in 22 minutes. Clearly still limited by the injury, Knight will be held out Monday, meaning Archie Goodwin should see a bump in minutes.

Knight (ankle) may not play in Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Craig Grialou of 98.7 FM reports.
Knight struggled in his return to the court Sunday against the Thunder, putting up three points on 1-of-10 shooting over 22 minutes off the bench. Suns coach Jeff Hornacek said afterward that Knight will likely be held out for the ninth time in 10 games, with Phoenix playing the second half of a back-to-back Monday against the Trail Blazers. The team may have rushed Knight back a bit too soon, and while an aggressive approach makes sense under the circumstances, the Suns are dangerously close to falling out of the playoff chase.

Knight is finally returning from an eight-game absence, and while his minutes will likely be limited, the report suggests that he'll get into the game early on.
Sun Mar 29 201513:37Knight (ankle) said he has explosiveness back
Knight (ankle) said he has his explosiveness back, the Arizona Republic reports.
Knight has missed the last eight games after spraining his ankle, but he was looking spry at Saturday's practice, and he said he finally has his full explosiveness back. "I had a lot of good pushes," Knight said of Saturday's workout. "I finally felt like I could do some things that I haven't been able to do, which is why I knew I wasn't ready to play yet. That was a big difference from (Friday's) practice." The Suns haven't ruled Knight in or out of Sunday's matchup with the Thunder, though at this point it looks like Knight has a good chance to play. Knight, himself, offered little insight into the situation saying only that he's "getting closer and closer."
Fri Mar 27 201521:49Brandon Knight: (Ankle) Out Friday
Knight (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Blazers, CSN Northwest reports.
Knight will miss his eighth straight game because of a sprained ankle, but appears to finally be nearing a return. It won't come Friday, making his next chance to rejoin the lineup Sunday against the Thunder.

Knight (ankle) has been deemed a game-time call for Friday's game against the Blazers.
Knight has missed the last seven games with a sprained ankle. He nearly returned Wednesday but was ruled out after going through warmups. He'll likely undergo the same process Friday, and a decision may not come until just before tip.
Thu Mar 26 201516:00Knight (ankle) hopes to be ready to play Friday
Knight (ankle) hopes to be ready to play Friday, Matt Petersen of Suns.com reports.
Knight, who was a late scratch from Wednesday's lineup, ran sprints at Thursday's practice, and coach Jeff Hornacek is hopeful Knight will be able to play. He's missed the last seven games with a fairly severe ankle sprain, but considering how close he was to returning Wednesday, it would appear he has a good chance to re-enter the lineup Friday versus the Trail Blazers.
Wed Mar 25 201522:08Knight (ankle) ruled out for Wednesday's game against Kings
Knight (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic reports.
Knight was initially slated to return Wednesday, but after pregame warmups it was determined that his ankle is not quite healed to the point that he's ready to return to game action. Considering how long it took for the team to rule him out, however, Knight appears very close to returning. He could be back as soon as Friday versus Portland.
Wed Mar 25 201520:48Knight (ankle) tested ankle in pregame warmups and said it's loo...
Knight (ankle) tested his ankle in pregame warmups and said it's looking less likely at he plays Wednesday against the Kings, Craig Grialou of 98.7 FM Arizona Sports reports.
Earlier Wednesday, Knight appeared on track to return after missing the last six games. However, he's still dealing with considerable discomfort, and the team will likely hold him out for a second straight contest. If Knight is, indeed, ruled out, consider him questionable for Friday's matchup with Portland.

After Wednesday's shootaround, Knight (ankle) sounded like he expects to return for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic reports.
Knight has missed the last six games with a sprained ankle, but he's been listed as questionable for the last few days and a return appears imminent. Coach Jeff Hornacek may opt to bring Knight off the bench in an effort to ease his transition back into game action, but another report suggests Knight could get the start as a means of keeping his ankle loose following pregame warmups. Either way, if Knight returns he's a risky daily play as he'll likely be slightly less than 100 percent and could face a minutes limit.
Tue Mar 24 201516:15Brandon Knight: (Ankle) Questionable For Wednesday
Knight (ankle) practiced Tuesday and is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
Knight appears to have a pretty good chance of ending his string of absences at six games, which would likely mean fewer minutes for Marcus Morris, T.J. Warren, A.J. Price and Archie Goodwin. According to Craig Giralou of 98.7 FM, Suns coach Jeff Hornacek said he is leaning toward keeping the same starting lineup, which means Knight would likely be the sixth man. Knight hasn't played well in Phoenix thus far, but he still figures to get plenty of minutes once he's ready, starter or not. Of course, he's no longer his team's primary ballhandler, after serving in that capacity for the Bucks for most of the season.
Sun Mar 22 201520:57Knight (ankle) inactive for Sunday's game against Mavericks
Knight (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Mavericks, Paul Coro of The Arizona Republic reports.
Knight was listed as questionable for the game, but it was already reported that he was unlikely to play. Marcus Morris will get another start, while the Suns are optimistic about Knight's chances to return for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
Sun Mar 22 201519:31Brandon Knight: (Ankle) Likely Out Sunday
Knight (ankle) probably won't play in Sunday's game against the Mavericks, but he looks good to return for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
Knight seems to be making progress, as he was listed as questionable for Sunday's game, after being listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Rockets. With Knight likely out of the lineup for one more game, Marcus Morris figures to get another start.
Sun Mar 22 201517:43Brandon Knight: (Ankle) Questionable For Sunday
Knight (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks, The Arizona Republic reports.
Knight's availability for Sunday's game won't be revealed until closer to tipoff so it might be wise to find alternative options in the event that he decides to sit at the last second. If he doesn't play, Gerald Green and Archie Goodwin may continue to see extra minutes on the court.
Sat Mar 21 201519:17Brandon Knight: (Ankle) Out Again Saturday
Knight (ankle) won't play Saturday at Houston, the Arizona Republic reports.
Knight's doubtful availability has predictably translated to inactive status, leaving Marcus Morris in the Suns' starting five. With no specific return date mentioned during his recovery from a sprained left ankle, consider Knight questionable at best to suit up Sunday against the Mavericks.
Sat Mar 21 201513:28Knight (ankle) doubtful for Saturday's game against Houston
Knight (ankle) is doubtful for Saturday's game against Houston, Arizona Republic writer Paul Coro reports.
If Knight sits as expected, Saturday's game will mark his fifth missed game in a row. He's believed to be making steady progress, but it's still not clear whether there's a particular target date in mind. He should be considered questionable for Sunday's home game against Dallas.
Thu Mar 19 201514:16Knight (ankle) will not play Thursday against Pelicans
Knight (ankle) will not play Thursday against the Pelicans, Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic reports.
Knight will miss his fourth straight game with a sprained ankle, and Alex Len, who also has an ankle injury, will sit out as well. Coach Jeff Hornacek will insert Marcus Morris and Brandan Wright into the starting lineup in place of Knight and Len, respectively.
