Jusuf Nurkic (middle finger injury) has not progressed to on-court work.
The Suns scrimmaged on Tuesday, but Nurkis was one of the players who did not participate. He still has not been cleared to begin basketball work, which casts some doubt on Nurk’s availability for the start of the regular season. If Nurkic isn’t cleared to play by next Wednesday, Mason Plumlee should remain the starter while rookie Oso Ighodaro picks up a few minutes off the bench.
