The Phoenix Suns emerge from the All-Star break looking to rebound from a shaky pre-break stretch, facing a red-hot San Antonio Spurs team that’s won six straight and sits second in the Western Conference. The Suns, seventh in the West, have struggled with consistency due to injuries but boast a potent offense led by Devin Booker (25.2 PPG) and Dillon Brooks. The Spurs, powered by Victor Wembanyama’s dominance (25+ PPG recently) and a balanced attack featuring De’Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle, have the league’s second-best record and aim to extend their home win streak to four. This matchup could hinge on Phoenix’s perimeter shooting (35.8% 3P%) against San Antonio’s elite defense (top-5 DRtg at 108.2), with the Spurs favored heavily at home.

Injury Report
The Suns remain without key contributors post-break, impacting their spacing and depth. The Spurs are mostly healthy but monitoring two questionables in their rotation, potentially affecting guard and wing play.
| Team | Player | Position | Status | Reason |
| Suns | Grayson Allen | SG | Questionable | Right Knee; Sprain (re-evaluated post-break) |
| Suns | Isaiah Livers | SF | Out | Left Shoulder; Sprain (re-evaluated post-break) |
| Suns | Cole Anthony | PG | Out | Not With Team |
| Suns | Jalen Green | SG | Questionable | Right Hamstring; Injury Management |
| Spurs | Stephon Castle | PG | Questionable | Pelvic; Contusion |
| Spurs | Lindy Waters III | SF | Questionable | Right Knee; Issue |
| Spurs | Harrison Ingram | SF | Out | G League – Two-Way |
| Spurs | David Jones Garcia | G | Out | G League – Two-Way |
| Spurs | Stanley Umude | G | Out | G League – Two-Way |
Phoenix’s offense could suffer without Allen’s shooting (35.7% 3P% in recent games), forcing more from Booker and Brooks. If Green sits, Collin Gillespie sees expanded minutes. For San Antonio, Castle’s potential absence (recent 40-point game) shifts playmaking to Fox (averaging 10 APG), while Waters’ knee issue might increase reliance on Keldon Johnson off the bench.
Key Player Matchups
This game pits San Antonio’s length and athleticism against Phoenix’s veteran scoring, with Wembanyama’s rim protection (top-5 in BPG) challenging the Suns’ interior attack. Injuries could amplify mismatches in the backcourt.
- Devin Booker (Suns) vs. De’Aaron Fox (Spurs): Booker (25.2 PPG, 6.3 APG) returns to form post-ankle injury, but faces Fox’s speed (recent 26 PPG, 10 APG). Fox’s transition play (Spurs pace 100.2) could exploit Phoenix’s 112.4 DRtg; Booker’s mid-range (47.2% FG) tests San Antonio’s perimeter (opponents 35.4% 3P%). Projected: Booker 25+ PTS if Allen draws defenders.
- Victor Wembanyama (Spurs) vs. Mark Williams (Suns): Wembanyama (25.0 PPG, 12.0 RPG, recent 40 PTS) dominates inside, boosting Spurs’ NRtg +6.8 on floor. Williams (10+ RPG) provides size, but lacks Wembanyama’s spacing (38% 3P%). If Livers out, Suns vulnerable to rebounds (Spurs +4.2 differential).
- Dillon Brooks (Suns) vs. Stephon Castle (Spurs, if available): Brooks (24.0 PPG recently, strong defender) vs. Castle (questionable, recent 40 PTS, 12 REB, 12 AST). Castle’s versatility edges, but Brooks’ physicality (1.4 SPG) could force turnovers (Spurs 13.8 TOV/G). Alternative: Keldon Johnson fills in.
- Bench Impact: Suns’ Royce O’Neale (11 REB recently) vs. Spurs’ Julian Champagnie (energy wing). Phoenix bench NRtg drops -3.4 without depth; Spurs’ +4.2 with reserves like Johnson.
