Phoenix Suns: Rookie Jalen Smith out due to health and safety protocols

Rookie Jalen Smith is the second Phoenix Suns player to miss a game due to health and safety protocols as he didn't make the three-game road trip that begins Friday in Detroit, team officials confirmed.

The Suns play at Indiana on Saturday and close out the trip Monday at Washington.

"I can't add anymore than the statement that's been put out on Jalen," Suns coach Monty Williams said.

Frank Kaminsky III was the first as he was going through COVID-19 testing when rejoining the Suns after Sacramento waived him after preseason.

He missed the season opener Dec.
