Though Grayson Allen (Achilles), Damion Lee (hamstring) and Josh Okogie (hamstring) are dealing with injuries and may miss the game, they are still on the roster. The players on two-way contracts with the Suns – Jalen Bridges, Collin Gillespie and Phoenix native TyTy Washington Jr. – were listed as well.

Both rookies drafted this year, No. 28 pick Ryan Dunn and No. 40 pick Oso Ighodaro, made the squad and will look to build off of impressive preseasons. Dunn averaged 9.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and shot 43.3% from three in five games. Ighodaro, from Mesa, finished with 5.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.2 blocks per game.

The Suns and Clippers go head-to-head on Wednesday at 7 p.m. AZT.
