You may have noticed that Kelly Oubre Jr. was not in the starting lineup on Monday night in Los Angeles against the Lakers.
Not only were the Suns without breakout phenom and third-leading scorer Deandre Ayton (sore ankle, from turning it in the second half against Denver), they also started the game without their second leading scorer in Oubre.
The Suns lost by 25 to the Lakers, their third 20+ point loss in the past three weeks since a full handful of their veteran players started missing games together to injury.
