Eric Gordon has been upgraded to questionable, but Bol Bol will miss his sixth straight game on Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. The backup big man last saw action for the Suns on Jan. 8 versus the LA Lakers. He complained of foot soreness after the game, prompting Phoenix to keep him sidelined since then.
Meanwhile, Gordon was listed as questionable heading into the Chicago Bulls game on Monday. He has been dealing with right wrist soreness over the past few games. The shooting guard was eventually scratched off the active list a few hours before the Bulls matchup.
