Aron Baynes has made the recovery back from a right hip flexor strain that took the strut out of his imposing stride.

"I couldn’t walk the first couple of days," he said.

Baynes returned to action Friday night after missing five games and scored 17 points and grabbed seven boards, but the Phoenix Suns lost for the sixth time in their last seven games, falling 120-113 to the Dallas Mavericks at Talking Stick Resort Arena.
