Phoenix Suns Injury Report: Game 5 available & injured players for 2023 Playoffs round-1 against LA Clippers (April 25, 2023)

The Phoenix Suns will take the court Tuesday night with a chance to put the LA Clippers away in their Western Conference first-round playoff series. Looking at their injury report, it looks like they will have their full lineup at their disposal.

There is only one player on the injury report for the Phoenix Suns. Backup guard Cameron Payne is probable due to lower back soreness.

Aside from Payne being probable, it looks like things are a full go for the Suns. This is great news for them, as they have a chance to advance to the second round with a victory.

Since coach Monty Williams has his full lineup at his disposal, there shouldn't be much change to his rotation. It also means we'll probably see a regular workload for the star core of Kevin Durant, Chris Paul, Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton.

This postseason, Booker has been one of the top performers in all the NBA. Through four games, he is averaging 34.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 2.8 steals. Paul is also among playoff leaders in assists per game at just under nine.

LA Clippers will be without multiple key players against Phoenix Suns

While the Phoenix Suns are at full strength, the same cannot be said for the LA Clippers. They will be without both of their All-Stars in the possible series finale.

Paul George was injured before the playoffs began and was hoping to return in Round Two if the Clippers were able to advance. Kawhi Leonard played the first two games of this series, but was then sidelined after severe knee swelling. Both players are listed as out for Game 5.

With George and Leonard out, it is on Russell Westbrook to lead the charge for LA. Things might not have worked out with the Lakers, but the former MVP is finding ways to thrive with his new team.

In the postseason, Westbrook is putting up star-level numbers, averaging 26.0 ppg, 7.5 rpg and 7.3 apg. His numbers are turning heads, but it might not be enough to overcome the firepower the Suns have at their disposal.
