Phoenix Suns anticipate Josh Okogie’s return on NYE

The Phoenix Suns have upgraded Josh Okogie to probable for their matchup against the Orlando Magic on New Years Eve.

Okogie has missed six games over the past few weeks due to a right ankle injury. When healthy, he is averaging 6 points and 3.2 rebounds per game.

Elsewhere on the Suns injury report, Frank Vogel confirmed that Nassir Little will be out again with a left knee injury.

Nassir missed Friday’s game against the Hornets with the same injury. Sunday will mark his 4th game this season that he has been out due to injury. The 23-year-old has averaged 15.6 minutes along with 5.2 points per game.

As the Suns find themselves in the midst of a six-game homestand, they are eyeing a third consecutive victory on Sunday to cap off 2023. Standing in the way are the 19-12 Orlando Magic. Tipoff is scheduled for 6 PM inside the Footprint Center.

In the 2022-2023 season, the Suns and the Magic split their series, each securing a win.
