Phoenix Suns conclude preseason against Utah Jazz amid player injuries

The Phoenix Suns are set to finish their five-game preseason schedule on October 16 against the Utah Jazz at Mortgage Matchup Center. The Suns will be without Luke Kennard due to a left knee tendon strain and Oso Ighodaro, who is experiencing hip soreness. Coach Jordan Ott noted Kennard's condition is manageable but hasn't confirmed his availability for the season opener on October 21 against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Suns will start Devin Booker, Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, Miles Bridges, and Khaman Maluach in this match, with Maluach competing for the starting center position against Ighodaro. Booker and Bridges rejoin the lineup after missing previous games, while Green and Brooks return from absences in San Antonio.
