Deandre Ayton out against Nuggets for Game 6

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
Game 6 #Suns #Nuggets was already going to be crazy.
Elimination games always are, but no Chris Paul (groin), no Deandre Ayton (rib contusion) and possibly no Jamal Murray, who is listed as questionable with a non-COVID illness, tonight could be even crazier. #NBAPlayoffs – 4:56 PM

Deandre Ayton has struggled in these playoffs, but the Suns will miss his defense on Jokic, and the margin for error is even thinner now. Also, don’t be that person implying things about the man’s character or toughness when we have no idea the extent of the injury yet – 3:34 PM

Re: Deandre Ayton: Rib contusions can be very painful and limiting injuries. The average time lost for this injury is 1.1 games (~1.2 days) though players often return wearing extra padding over the injury site. – 3:24 PM

Monty Williams said Devin Booker’s foot seemed okay today. They didn’t do much in practice, but he got his usual work in. Deandre Ayton (ribs) also seemed fine to him, but he’s gonna get checked out later today. No update on Chris Paul’s status – 5:14 PM
