The Phoenix Suns will play the second night of a back-to-back on Monday against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Suns have been ravaged by injuries in the first two months of the season, which contributed to their early season struggles. Let's look at the latest Phoenix Suns injury report.
The Suns' injury report for Monday's game has not been released, as they are coming off the first set of a back-to-back. ESPN and CBS Sports have listed two players as out for Phoenix – Damion Lee and Nassir Little. Lee is out, as he's recovering from knee surgery, while Little is a game-time decision with a minor knee injury.
