Jalen Green missed Wednesday's Phoenix Suns game against the Memphis Grizzlies, but he is recovering as planned from his injury.

Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale will once again replace Green and Brooks in the starting five, as the Suns look to correct their woes starting games that have led to huge first-quarter deficits in every game so far.

The Phoenix Suns blew up its Big Three in the name of alignment, culture, and identity. They wanted players who fit a certain mold, the kind who would make the fan base proud. Tough players. Gritty players. Guys who dive for loose balls, fight for rebounds, and refuse to back down. And in that sense, mission accomplished.

Booker paced the Suns with a game-high 32 points, with 29 coming in the second half, while Morant scored 28 in leading Memphis. Mark Williams posted a second straight 20-point double-double, finishing with 20 points and 11 rebounds in his first start with the Suns.

The Phoenix Suns are opening their season tonight against the Sacramento Kings. Tip-off is at Mortgage Matchup Center, formerly PHX Arena, at 7 p.m.
