Royce O’Neale Out for Suns with Left Ankle Sprain
Royce O’Neale, a power forward for the Phoenix Suns, is currently sidelined due to a left ankle sprain. This injury has kept him out of action since December 28th, and he will not be playing in the upcoming games. The team has confirmed his status as ‘out’, which affects their rotation plans.
What It Means
This injury means that the Suns will need to adjust their lineup without Royce O’Neale’s contributions. He has been averaging 10.5 points per game, along with 5.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists this season. His shooting from beyond the arc at 44.1% has also been a key part of his game.
The absence of O’Neale opens up more opportunities for other players like Kevin Durant and possibly Oso Ighodaro to step up in his place. Durant is already leading the team in scoring, while Ighodaro may see increased minutes as part of the rotation. The Suns will look to maintain their performance levels despite this setback.
