Hawks coach Quin Snyder compliments Suns coach’s progress
Atlanta Hawks coach Quin Snyder praised the progress of Phoenix Suns first-year head coach Jordan Ott. The two worked together in Atlanta in 2013-14.
The Phoenix Suns open a three-game homestand against the Minnesota Timberwolves in an NBA Cup West Group A game Friday, Nov. 21, at Mortgage Matchup Center.
The 7 p.m. MST game is being televised on CBS 5 and Arizona’s Family Sports.
The Timberwolves (10-5) are 2-0 in NBA Cup group play while the Suns (9-6) are 1-0.
The Suns are down Jalen Green (right hamstring strain), Grayson Allen (right quad contusion) and rookie Rasheer Fleming (left ankle sprain).
Green has only played in two games after missing the first eight. Allen will be sidelined for a third straight game while Fleming is out after playing his first meaningful minutes in the 127-110 road victory Nov. 18 against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels is listed as questionable with a left wrist sprain.
