With no postseason berth on the line, the Suns could choose to sit talented guard Brandon Knight (groin) tonight. He’s officially day-to-day with his injury but there’s no need to rush him onto the court as his injury continues to flare up on him. Phoenix is simply playing out the final string of games on its schedule so it can put an end to another disastrous season.
