39-year old small forward Grant Hill could miss the rest of this season due to minor right knee surgery, which he’s going to have later today. Hill has played in 46 games (all starts) for the Suns this year and he is averaging 29.2 minutes, 10.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. 26-year old SG/SF Shannon Brown will likely take over Hill’s spot in the starting lineup. Brown has played in 44 games (4 starts) for the Suns so far this year and he is averaging 21.6 minutes, 9.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game. Brown should do a solid job for the Suns.

The Suns only shot 37.5% from the floor and it did them in last night. Marcin Gortat led the way for the Suns last night with 23 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocked shots. Channing Frye also had a solid game with 16 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 blocked shot last night. Jared Dudley, Shannon Brown and Robin Lopez pitched in with 10 points apiece in this game. The Suns are now 25-26 on the year.

26-year old SG/SF Shannon Brown has played in 43 games (3 starts) for the Suns so far this year and he is averaging 21.2 minutes, 9.7 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game. In his three starts, Brown is averaging 35.5 minutes, 22.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. Brown is shooting 50% from the floor, 47.4% from three point range and 86.7% from the free throw line when he starts. The Suns won’t likely change the starting lineup to make room for Brown in it as they have been happy with the play of Grant Hill and Jared Dudley so far this year.
