Nassir missed Friday’s game against the Hornets with the same injury. Sunday will mark his 4th game this season that he has missed. The 23-year-old has averaged 15.6 minutes along with 5.2 points per game.

As the Suns find themselves in the midst of a six-game homestand, they are eyeing a third consecutive victory on Sunday to cap off 2023. Standing in the way are the 19-12 Orlando Magic. Tipoff is scheduled for 6 PM inside the Footprint Center.

In the 2022-2023 season, the Suns and the Magic split their series, each securing a win.
