Suns' Elfrid Payton (knee) not practicing Thursday
AZ Central Sports' Scott Bordow reports Phoenix Suns point guard Elfrid Payton did not practice Thursday.
What It Means:
Payton sat out Wednesday's game versus the Los Angeles Clippers. His status for Friday's game will be determined tomorrow, likely after shootaround. If he's ultimately out, Devin Booker (hand) would carry a heavy workload if he's healthy enough to play. Tyler Ulis would step into another start while Shaq Harrison gets a lot of run in the backcourt.
In the event Payton plays, we project him to play 29.2 minutes and tally 29.7 FanDuel points in the Suns' matchup with the Houston Rockets.
