Tyler Johnson (knee) will remain out for Suns versus Pistons

Phoenix Suns guard Tyler Johnson (sore right knee) will not play on Thursday versus the Detroit Pistons.

What It Means:

It will be Johnson's fourth consecutive absence. Kelly Oubre (thumb) has also been ruled out again, so look for Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton to pick up the slack on offense. De'Anthony Melton and Mikal Bridges should see an uptick in minutes.

Johnson is averaging 21.7 FanDuel points in 57 games this season. He's recorded 11.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.4 triples through 13 games for Phoenix.
