"Obviously I’m a player so I’m trying to play but it’s not up to me,” Dunn said.

Suns rookie Ryan Dunn is using his snub from the Rising Stars Game at NBA All-Star Weekend as motivation to improve his overall skill set.

Phoenix Suns superstar forward Kevin Durant and rookie Ryan Dunn are both available for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves at Footprint Center to end a three-game homestand. Durant was previously listed as questionable with a left thumb injury while Dunn was also listed as questionable with a left ankle sprain.

Nurkic said he and Suns coach Mike Budenholzer didn’t talk for two months. This is consistent with him saying Budenholzer didn’t inform him about a decision not to play him Jan. 9 against Atlanta.

Bradley Beal started the second half for Dunn, who replaced him in the starting lineup beginning Jan. 6 at Philadelphia. Suns coach Mike Budenholzer moved Jusuf Nurkic and Beal to the bench starting that game.

Phoenix Suns rookie forward Ryan Dunn will not play on Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers due to a sprained left ankle.

Phoenix Suns' Royce O'Neale had 11 points and the team-high four steals as a starter in their 111-109 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday.

Suns center Jusuf Nurkic was unceremoniously benched.

Phoenix, who has won eight of its past 11 games, will greatly miss Dunn against the Clippers' dynamic offensive duo of James Harden and Kawhi Leonard. Los Angeles has a pretty clean injury report with Kris Dunn (left knee injury management), Cam Christie (left ankle sprain) and Jordan Miller (illness) all listed as out.
