Phoenix Suns forward Bol Bol will miss his fourth matchup in five games and second straight tomorrow night against the Kings with a right foot sprain.
Bol was a late scratch for the Suns (21-18) 127-116 victory over the Blazers Sunday due to right foot soreness.
Bol had missed two straight games with a right ankle sprain suffered Dec. 5 against the Miami Heat before returning last Thursday against LA.
Bol played 17 minutes in the Suns’ dominant 127-109 victory over the Lakers, posting six points on 2-of-3 shooting, six rebounds, two blocks and two steals. In the four contests Bol has played in 2024, he has registered over double-digit minutes in all four after not recording a game over five minutes in 2023 with Phoenix.
In these four games, Bol is averaging 8.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 16.8 minutes off the bench.
Coach Frank Vogel said pregame yesterday that Bol was dealing with significant soreness in his foot after practice Saturday and was set to be re-evaluated today. Now, it appears he hasn’t gotten better, as his injury designation has changed from soreness to a sprain.
For the Kings (23-16), Keegan Murray is questionable with right hip irritation. Murray left Sunday’s loss to the Bucks with the injury. In 35 games this season, the second-year forward is averaging 15.8 points and 5.5 rebounds on 46% shooting.
Tomorrow’s game tips off at 7 p.m. MST from Footprint Center. The Kings are 2-0 against the Suns this season and have won four straight over Phoenix dating back to last year.
