NBA News: Suns HC Mike Bundeholzer loses another player among Kevin Durant
The Phoenix Suns are heading into their NBA Cup opener against the Utah Jazz and head coach Mike Budenholzer is grappling with a growing injury list, which now includes a player alongside Kevin Durant.
The NBA Cup kicks off this Tuesday, and teams are gearing up for the chance to claim another trophy. The Phoenix Suns open their campaign against the Utah Jazz, but head coach Mike Budenholzer is already facing challenges. In addition to Kevin Durant’s injury, another key player has been sidelined ahead of the opener.
Without Durant, Budenholzer is reworking his game plan to compensate for the absence of the Suns’ star player. While this will provide opportunities for other players in the NBA Cup opener, the team’s options have dwindled due to yet another injury confirmed by the organization.
In a press release, the Suns announced unfortunate news for Budenholzer and his squad: “Phoenix Suns guard Collin Gillespie will be out with a right ankle fracture. He will be re-evaluated in four weeks.” Although Gillespie hasn’t been a consistent part of the starting lineup, his absence adds further strain to the team’s rotation.
