Rasheer

Fleming

Goodwin is a regular part of Phoenix’s rotation, but Fleming is not. The absence of both players should mean more playing time for Ryan Dunn, who logged a season-best 18 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers. Dunn didn’t do much with the extra opportunity, and he can be left on the waiver wire.

Fleming won’t be available, but the only game he played more than three minutes came during the season opener, which they lost by 41. His absence won’t alter the Suns’ rotation.

Fleming has a sprained right ankle, but his status does not affect redraft leagues.

Bridges injured his right ankle during the first half of Wednesday’s game, ending his night after logging eight minutes. The veteran forward, whose arrival in Phoenix pushed Collin Gillespie out of the starting lineup, finished with three points, one rebound and one assist. However, Rasheer Fleming started the third quarter instead of Gillespie. Bridges’ injury did not appear serious, and the Suns won’t play their first regular-season game until October 21.

Fleming didn’t have a great night shooting the basketball, missing all four of his three-point attempts. However, he’ll be most valuable to the Suns as a defender, and the second-year forward had a highly productive game. In addition to 10 rebounds, Fleming recorded two steals and two blocks in 25 minutes. With the Suns adding Miles Bridges via trade, there are likely to be fewer shots to go around next season. However, the exits of Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neale mean that there’s still a need for help on the wings, even with Luke Kennard coming over. Fleming’s defensive ability should allow him to earn consistent minutes after playing sparingly as a rookie.

Goodwin joins the long list of Suns rotation players who won’t be available for Sunday’s regular-season finale. Rasheer Fleming and Amir Coffey are two players whose minutes should increase due to the absences.

Dunn will be back following a one-game absence. He’ll return to playing a large role off the bench, which will take away a few minutes from Rasheer Fleming with Royce O’Neale healthy as well.

Dunn was a late addition to the injury report, and now he won’t be available against Denver. Rasheer Fleming, who has played well recently, should take on extra minutes off the bench.

Coffey sprained his left ankle during the first half of Thursday’s game and was helped back to the locker room. He has since been ruled out for the rest of the night. Ryan Dunn and Rasheer Fleming may absorb the minutes that would have gone to Coffey.

O’Neale, who started and played 29 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Timberwolves, will not play against the Spurs. His absence frees up a spot in the starting lineup, with Ryan Dunn and Rasheer Fleming being potential replacements. Both should see their minutes increase out of necessity.
