Deandre Ayton injury status vs. Jazz
The good news for Phenix Suns is Ayton appears primed to make his return to action on Monday night. This is after the 24-year-old was listed as probable to play against the Jazz. A right hip contusion has sidelined Ayton for the past week, but right now, all signs are pointing toward the 6-foot-11 big man returning against Utah.
If Ayton is indeed cleared to play, then it’s only going to be Kevin Durant who’s going to be the lone player on Phoenix’s injury report. KD seems to be closing in on his return as well, so it won’t be long before the Suns are back at full strength — just in time for the playoffs.
As for the Jazz, however, they could be without Lauri Markkanen on Monday night after the All-Star big man was tagged as questionable due to a left hand injury. Jordan Clarkson, Collin Sexton, and Rudy Gay are all out for Utah.
Now, with regard to the question of is Deandre Ayton playing tonight vs. the Jazz, the answer is that it’s likely.
