What happened: Collin Sexton, Adou Thiero, and Bronny James were upgraded to available ahead of Sunday's game in Phoenix. Sexton had been listed as questionable with a right orbital laceration, while Thiero was managing a left ankle sprain and James was recovering from an illness.
Why it matters: The clearances stabilize rotation depth after Austin Reaves was ruled out with a left heel contusion alongside Cameron Carr. Reaves has averaged 24.7 points per game this season, leaving Sexton to shoulder expanded backcourt creation duties. The reinforcements support an 11-2 squad currently riding a seven-game winning streak.
By the numbers: Sexton has recorded 10.3 points, 2.6 assists, and 1.8 rebounds per game in 2026-27 through 12 games. Thiero has posted 2.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game in 2026-27 through 4 games, while James has recorded 1.3 points per game in 2026-27 through 6 games.
What to watch: Tipoff in Phoenix is set for Sunday, with final starting lineup confirmations expected prior to game time.
