Ayton Questionable for NBA Cup Game Tonight

Suns Center Dealing With Ankle Injury

Ayton's Status Uncertain Heading into Game 1

Deandre Ayton's status for Game 1 of the NBA Finals is up in the air as the Phoenix Suns center continues to deal with an ankle injury. Ayton suffered the injury in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals against the Dallas Mavericks and has missed the last two games of the series.

The Suns have not released much information about the severity of Ayton's injury, but he is reportedly considered questionable for Game 1. If Ayton is unable to play, the Suns will be without their leading scorer and rebounder from the regular season.

The Suns are hoping that Ayton will be able to play in Game 1, but they are also preparing for the possibility that he will not be available. The Suns have a number of other big men who could step into the starting lineup, including JaVale McGee, Bismack Biyombo, and Frank Kaminsky.

The Suns are also hoping that Ayton's injury is not serious and that he will be able to return to the lineup soon. The Suns are looking to win their first NBA championship in franchise history and Ayton is a key part of their team.
