Brown missed the Celtics’ 123-107 win over the Jazz Tuesday with the injury. This means only Kristaps Porzingis (right hamstring strain) is out for the Celtics.
Gordon went scoreless in 29 minutes in the Suns’ loss to the Celtics last Saturday and suffered this injury during the game. It first caused him to miss Monday’s win over the Cavaliers.
Gordon joins Josh Okogie (lower abdominal strain) and Damion Lee (right meniscus surgery) as the three Suns out tonight. With these players out, Little could see some action.
Tonight’s game tips off at 4:30 p.m. MST.
