Jordan Goodwin is day-to-day with a left calf injury after leaving Monday's game against the Warriors in Phoenix's fourth game of the season. An expected return of Nov. 4 is listed, and the Suns have no game without him yet.
What happened
Jordan Goodwin is listed as day-to-day with a left calf injury, an update posted Monday at 11:36 p.m. ET. There was no earlier status for him. Goodwin will not return to Monday's game at Golden State, according to Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic. He played 10 minutes before leaving. In that time he scored four points on 2-of-3 shooting, including 0-of-1 from three, with two rebounds, two assists and one steal. The injury report gives an expected return date of Nov. 4. It does not give a diagnosis beyond the left calf or say whether he will be re-evaluated.
What it means for the Suns
Phoenix is 1-3, sits 12th and has lost two in a row. The Suns have played all four games with Goodwin and have not yet played one without him, so there is no without-him record to cite. His next game is not announced. Goodwin is averaging 8.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 21.0 minutes over four games. If he sits, the minutes spread across a rotation led by Devin Booker at 34.7 minutes. Collin Gillespie (26.5), Jalen Green (26.6) and Luke Kennard (15.6) are the other names in that group. Mark Williams is out with a left shoulder injury, which thins the group further.
What to watch
The first thing to watch is the next injury report, which should show whether Goodwin's status moves from day-to-day. The expected return is listed as Nov. 4. Phoenix has not announced a next game in the information available, so that date is not tied to a specific opponent. Watch his pregame status before any game, along with Williams, who remains out. The Suns are trying to stop a two-game slide while shorthanded.
