Damion Lee currently out with an injury
Damion Lee hasn't played a single regular season game for the Phoenix Suns this year. He was added to the team's injury list before the season began.
The Phoenix Suns official statement issued on October 1st read Lee has injured his right meniscus and will be out indefinitely. The report also informed the injury was sustained during the team's workout sessions before the preseason games.
Arizona Sports later reported that Lee had to undergo surgery to repair the injury to his meniscus. There has been no update regarding the exact timeline for his return. However, fans can expect the Suns to provide an update as soon as he becomes available.
Aside from Lee, Bradley Beal has also missed a significant amount of time. Recently, Yuta Watanabe was ruled out due to a quadriceps injury. Further, Kevin Durant's status is questionable. He has been listed as day-to-day.
These injuries have certainly hurt the Suns' depth, especially at the wing position. Their coaching staff should make continuous adjustments as their injury situation changes.
Currently, Phoenix stands at 10-6. It stands at number one in the Pacific Division and is third behind the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference.
The Suns' fans hope that Damion Lee and his injured teammates become healthy soon to secure a better position in their conference.
