GLENDALE – The Phoenix Suns (33-24) injury luck continues to derail their tremendous 2025-2026 campaign. In February, Phoenix is 3-5 and much has to do with starters going in and out of the starting lineup. Sunday’s matchup vs. the Portland Trail Blazers (27-30) fits that theme with six Suns players on the injury report, four of which are starters for Jordan Ott’s team.

Brooks has been one of the team’s healthiest players before Saturday’s double OT game vs. the Orlando Magic, where he broke his hand to put him out indefinitely. He joins Booker, whose been struggling with injuries for the past month or so, with most recently being his hip. Green has had the best stretch of this season health-wise in the past month, but after playing the most minutes this year (37) vs. Orlando, will Ott want to be on the safer side of his health?
Phoenix could catch a break with All-Star Deni Avdija on the injury report with lower back management. The 25-year-old has missed multiple games this season due to his back, including the team’s last matchup on February 3rd, where the Suns beat the Blazers 130-125 in Portland.

In that game, Collin Gillespie had a career night of 30 points and 10 assists, with his running mate of big man Mark Williams recording 24 points and 11 rebounds. The dynamic duo is cleared to run it back in the Valley on Sunday. However, if Avdija plays, Phoenix will have a challenge of finding a body to match his 6’8 frame. He’s averaging career highs in every major category, including 25.0 points and 6.8 assists.
The Suns have fought against the injury bug all season and have a tough challenge against a defensive-minded Blazers team following a double OT game just 24 hours prior.
