Phoenix Suns G/F Josh Okogie, who has missed the last 10 games with a lower abdominal strain, has been upgraded to questionable for tomorrow’s game against the Spurs.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Coach Frank Vogel said on Wednesday that Okogie is expected to return this weekend. Okogie had been a routine part of the rotation before his injury, and Vogel said “we’ll see where Josh Okogie fits when he gets back healthy.”
Jusuf Nurkić has been added to the injury report for the Suns (41-29) as probable with an orbital contusion after taking a shot to the face in the third quarter of yesterday’s 128-115 win over the Hawks. Nurkić went back to the locker room following the hit, but returned to start the fourth quarter.

The Spurs (15-54) play the Grizzlies today, so they have not submitted their injury report for tomorrow. Only Charles Bassey (left ACL tear) is out tonight for San Antonio.
Tomorrow’s game tips of shortly after 5 p.m. MST and will be the first of two straight matchups between these teams. The Spurs have won both games against the Suns this season, but they haven’t played each other since way back on Nov. 2.
