The Phoenix Suns are set to face the Los Angeles Clippers on the road in a Saturday night clash. While the Clippers will be without key players such as Kawhi Leonard and Jordan Miller due to injury concerns, the Suns have some questions of their own heading into the matchup.
Dillon Brooks is one of three players listed on the Suns’ NBA injury report. While Koby Brea and CJ Huntley are out due to G League two-way reasons, Brooks is dealing with a core muscle strain and is listed as questionable for the game. Despite this, Brooks is known for impacting the game, whether positively or negatively, regardless of his availability.
For example, Brooks, who was sidelined with injury, picked up a technical foul during the Suns’ 118-107 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday after arguing with referees from the bench. However, the Suns would prefer Brooks to contribute on the court rather than from the sidelines. The hope is that he will be available for Saturday night’s game, but nothing is guaranteed as of this story’s writing.
So far in the 2025-26 campaign, Brooks has appeared in only three games. He is averaging 19.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 2.7 steals per outing during that span. While Brooks may not be a superstar, he is a reliable veteran who can help his team win on any given night.
As for the teams, the Suns currently hold a 4-5 record overall, while the Clippers stand at 3-5. Neither team has played especially well to start the season, so a win on Saturday could provide a much-needed boost.
Saturday night’s tip-off is scheduled for 10:30 PM EST in Los Angeles. Fans can expect an intense battle as both teams look to turn their seasons around.
