After a very strong first half defending Stephen Curry and knocking down threes, Josh Okogie (hip) will not return tonight vs. the Warriors, as the Suns trailed 56-53 at halftime.

After starting and playing 11 minutes, Okogie had arguably been Phoenix’s best player tonight. He posted 10 points, two assists, two rebounds and a block, while shooting 3-for-4 from deep.
Eric Gordon started the second half in place of Okogie.
Phoenix is already without Kevin Durant (ankle), Grayson Allen (groin), Nassir Little (concussion) and Damion lee (knee). Tonight is Bradley Beal’s first game back after missing 19 of the first 22 contests.
The Suns will try to pull off the victory in the second half, but this definitely puts a dent in their chances. Phoenix entered tonight having lost four of its last five games.
