Ayton (ankle) will remain sidelined for Tuesday's tilt against the Trail Blazers, Gina Mizell of The Athletic reports. Ayton made it through shootaround and indicated he hoped to play Tuesday, but that ultimately will not be the case. The Suns do not play again until Saturday, so he will have another three days off to recover. As a result, Aron Baynes and Dario Saric figure to again see increased workloads.

Ayton (ankle) went through shootaround Tuesday morning, Gina Mizell of The Athletic reports. "We'll see how he feels tonight," coach Monty Williams said of Ayton. "Hopefully he can go." The big man has already missed the last two games, but he looks to be trending in the right direction as Tuesday's game approaches.

Ayton (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Portland, Jamie Goldberg of The Oregonian reports. Ayton is in danger of missing his third straight contest due to a left ankle sprain, but the team likely won't have more on his status until closer to tipoff. Aron Baynes should continue to start at center if Ayton can't go.
