Suns' Jordan Goodwin: Headed for further evaluation
Rotowire
Goodwin will be sent for further testing after suffering a hip or groin injury during Tuesday's 115-111 loss to the Magic, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports. He ended the game with nine points (2-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists and three steals in 29 minutes.
It's not clear when Goodwin suffered the injury, but head coach Jordan Ott noted after the matchup that the guard is being sent for further evaluation. He can be considered day-to-day until the team has more to share on the severity of the issue.

Suns' Devin Booker: Erupts for 34 points in loss
Rotowire
Booker recorded 34 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 16-19 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and one steal across 36 minutes in Tuesday's 115-111 loss to the Magic.
Booker followed his 36-point performance in Monday's win over Memphis with another huge scoring outburst in the second leg of this back-to-back set. However, he needed a season-high 16 makes from the charity stripe to reach 30 points Tuesday, whereas he didn't get to the line at all Monday. The star guard also chipped in a team-high seven assists and has dished out at least five dimes in seven straight games.
O'Neale won't start Tuesday's game against the Magic.
Dillon Brooks will return to the starting lineup following an extended absence due to a fractured left hand, pushing O'Neale to the second unit. Over five outings off the bench this season, the veteran forward has averaged 10.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 27.6 minutes per contest.
Goodwin notched nine points (3-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt), four rebounds, eight assists, one block and five steals across 28 minutes during Monday's 131-105 victory over Memphis.
This was a strong showing for Goodwin despite some mediocre shooting, as his playmaking and defensive activity were on full display. His role could take a hit Tuesday against Orlando, however, as Grayson Allen will be back from a maintenance day and Dillon Brooks (hand) is cleared to return from an 18-game absence.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Absent from injury report
Rotowire
Allen (knee) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game versus Orlando.
Allen is returning to action after sitting out Monday's win over Memphis. The sharpshooter has averaged 16.1 points, 4.7 assists, 2.6 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 3.0 three-pointers in 26.1 minutes per tilt in his last seven games.

Suns' Haywood Highsmith: Out for Tuesday
Rotowire
Highsmith (knee) is out for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
Highsmith will sit out for a seventh straight game Tuesday and remains without a timetable to return. Even when cleared to play, he's not likely to be part of the rotation now that Phoenix is getting healthier.

Suns' Mark Williams: Sitting out again
Rotowire
Williams (foot) is out for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
Williams hasn't played since March 3 due to a stress reaction in the third metatarsal of his left foot, though he was recently cleared for 5-on-5 at practice. His next chance to play comes Thursday against Charlotte. Until Williams is cleared to play, Oso Ighodaro should continue to start at center.

Suns' Dillon Brooks: Will play Tuesday
Rotowire
Brooks (hand) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
This will be Brooks' first appearance since Feb. 21. He missed 18 games due to a fractured left hand, and it's unclear if he will face restrictions during his return. Through 50 appearances, he's averaging 20.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 44.0 percent from the field in 30.6 minutes per contest.
Ighodaro had 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one block across 35 minutes during Monday's 131-105 win over Memphis.
Ighodaro continues to provide strong production across the board for the Suns. He's put up 11 or more points in six of his last seven outings and is averaging 6.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.0 steals during this stretch. Ighodaro should remain in the starting lineup until Mark Williams (foot) is cleared to return.
Gillespie amassed 11 points (4-16 FG, 3-11 3Pt), five rebounds and 10 assists across 32 minutes during Monday's 131-105 victory over the Grizzlies.
Gillespie once again struggled to find his rhythm on the offensive end, as he's now 4-for-24 from the field over his last two games. However, he managed to make up for his shooting woes by dishing out double-digit assists for the third time in 74 appearances this season. Gillespie has scored in double figures in six of his last seven showings, and he should continue to receive plenty of chances to turn things around amidst this brief offensive skid.
Brooks (hand) is set to return in Tuesday's game against the Magic, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Brooks hasn't played since Feb. 21 due to a fractured left hand, though he returned to 5-on-5 work Saturday and is trending toward returning to game action Tuesday. The 30-year-old forward's return will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Ryan Dunn and Rasheer Fleming. Over 50 regular-season appearances, Brooks is averaging 20.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 44.0 percent from the field in 30.6 minutes per contest.

Suns' Devin Booker: Drops 36 points in blowout win
Rotowire
Booker contributed 36 points (16-24 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five assists and two rebounds across 26 minutes in Monday's 131-106 win over the Grizzlies.
Booker turned in an extremely efficient outing and required only three quarters to score a game-high 36 points against the banged-up Grizzlies. Additionally, the star guard had a bounce-back performance from beyond the arc after shooting 2-for-9 from three-point range over the previous two games. The Kentucky product was also productive as a distributor, dishing out at least five assists for a sixth straight game. During that stretch, Booker has averaged 24.2 points, 6.5 assists and 2.5 rebounds per showing.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Allen (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.
Allen will be held out of the front end of this back-to-back set due to left knee injury management. His next chance to play will come in Orlando on Tuesday. With the veteran wing out, Jordan Goodwin, Ryan Dunn and Rasheer Fleming are candidates for increased minutes.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Questionable Monday
Rotowire
Allen (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
Monday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, and Allen is likely to get a maintenance day for one of these. If the Suns hold out the sharpshooter Monday, the team could rely more on Jordan Goodwin with the second unit.

Suns' Mark Williams: Remains out for Monday
Rotowire
Williams (foot) remains out for Monday's game against Memphis.
Williams hasn't played in nearly a month, and although his recent participation in 5-on-5 drills suggests he might be nearing a return, he won't be in the lineup versus Memphis. With the 24-year-old out again, Oso Ighodaro will presumably remain in the starting lineup.
