Suns’ Jordan Goodwin to Be Reassessed Soon After Calf Injury

Phoenix Suns guard Jordan Goodwin will undergo a reevaluation within one to two weeks after suffering a left calf strain, the team announced Tuesday. The injury occurred during Saturday’s double-overtime victory against the Orlando Magic.

Goodwin’s Performance Before the Injury

In the game against Orlando, Goodwin played 25 minutes, contributing 17 points on 6-of-10 shooting, including 3 of 4 from beyond the arc. He also grabbed six rebounds, provided an assist, made two steals, and converted both of his free-throw attempts. This performance came as part of Goodwin’s consistent role this season, where he has appeared in 54 games and is averaging 8.9 points per game shooting 40.8% from the field and 35.6% from three-point range. Additionally, Goodwin averages 4.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.5 steals in 22.3 minutes per contest.

Health Challenges Affecting the Suns Roster

Goodwin joins several other Phoenix Suns players currently dealing with injuries. Forward Dillon Brooks is expected to be sidelined for four to six weeks following surgery on his broken left hand, which he injured during the same Orlando game. Star guard Devin Booker is recovering from right hip soreness sustained in a recent loss to the San Antonio Spurs, with a reexamination scheduled for next week. Forward Haywood Highsmith is in the middle of knee rehabilitation and will be reassessed in two to three weeks. Meanwhile, guard Grayson Allen’s status remains uncertain for Tuesday’s game against the Boston Celtics due to right knee and ankle concerns.

Upcoming Game and Team Outlook

The Suns are set to face the Boston Celtics on Tuesday at 7 p.m. The game will be closely watched as the team manages key player absences and injury recoveries. The outcome and player availability will likely influence the Suns’ rotation and performance in the coming weeks as they navigate this challenging phase of the season.
