Jared Dudley (foot) out of Suns' lineup on Wednesday

Phoenix Suns forward Jared Dudley is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Portland Trail Blazers.

What It Means:

Dudley will sit out the season opener following offseason toe surgery to repair both bone and ligament damage. Josh Jackson will start at small forward in his place.

Our models project Dudley to average 7.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 23.3 minutes per game this season.
