Phoenix Suns forward Bol Bol will miss his fourth matchup in five games and second straight tomorrow night against the Kings with a right foot sprain.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Bol played 17 minutes in the Suns’ dominant 127-109 victory over the Lakers, posting six points on 2-of-3 shooting, six rebounds, two blocks and two steals. In the four contests Bol has played in 2024, he has registered over double-digit minutes in all four after not recording a game over five minutes in 2023 with Phoenix.
In these four games, Bol is averaging 8.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 16.8 minutes off the bench.
Coach Frank Vogel said pregame yesterday that Bol was dealing with significant soreness in his foot after practice Saturday and was set to be re-evaluated today. Now, it appears he hasn’t gotten better, as his injury designation has changed from soreness to a sprain.
"Can we play the game tonight with the same determination that we played against LeBron James and Anthony Davis?"
Frank Vogel as #Blazers have many guys out.

Damion Lee is the only other name on the Suns’ injury report. Lee has missed the entire season up until this point after undergoing right meniscus surgery in the offseason.
