Suns' Warren to miss game vs. 76ers with illness
Mark D. Smith / USA TODAY Sports
The Phoenix Suns will be without their starting small forward Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers.
T.J. Warren played just nine minutes Friday night at Bankers Life Fieldhouse before leaving with an illness. He's still battling the ailment a day later, and will miss his first full game of the campaign, according to Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic.
The Suns managed just fine without Warren on Friday, downing the Pacers 116-96. They also recalled rookie Derrick Jones Jr. - who's yet to make his NBA debut - from their D-League affiliate for extra depth at the three-spot.
The team could also be without its other starting wing versus the Sixers, as sophomore Devin Booker is doubtful with an ankle issue.
