Rotowire
Dunn (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Pelicans, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Suns' Ryan Dunn: Modest production in start
Rotowire
Dunn ended Sunday's 127-118 overtime loss to the Kings with eight points (4-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one block and one steal in 21 minutes.
Dunn returned to action following a one-game absence due to an ankle injury, and with Kevin Durant (ankle) sidelined, the rookie was thrust into a starting role. However, Dunn failed to capitalize on his third career start, as Royce O'Neale (28) and Grayson Allen (27) played more minutes off the bench. Regardless, with Durant sidelined for at least a few weeks, Dunn should maintain an increased role even if he moves to the bench, especially if Bradley Beal (knee) is forced to miss time.

Suns' Ryan Dunn: Out Friday
Rotowire
Dunn (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Evan Sidery of Forbes.com reports.
The 21-year-old was considered doubtful for Friday's contest after suffering an ankle sprain Wednesday against Miami, so it's not a surprise he won't be available in Dallas. Dunn's next chance to take the court will come Sunday versus the Kings, but he could miss more time given the recency of the injury.

Suns' Ryan Dunn: Diagnosed with ankle sprain
Rotowire
Dunn ended with seven points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one assist over nine minutes during Wednesday's 115-112 win over Miami. He left the contest in the fourth quarter with a sprained left ankle and did not return, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Dunn limped back to the locker room late in Wednesday's contest and did not return. While he's set to undergo further testing Thursday, he received an initial diagnosis of a sprained left ankle. The 21-year-old rookie has been a quality addition to the Suns rotation, and he's shooting 13-for-33 (39.4 percent) from three-point range after being considered a non-shooter in college. If he's forced to miss time, expect Royce O'Neale and Grayson Allen to pick up the slack. Dunn's next chance to play comes Friday at Dallas.

Suns' Ryan Dunn: Fills in with 16 points
Rotowire
Dunn amassed 16 points (6-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal across 34 minutes during Thursday's 125-119 victory over the Clippers.
With Bradley Beal (elbow) out, Dunn got his second start of the season. The Virginia product was expected to be more of a development player, but he's already making an impact, especially on defense. He's versatile enough to fill in at multiple positions, and his 6-6 frame is deceiving thanks to a huge wingspan. Dunn's results are bad news for those who drafted Grayson Allen, as his role will be compromised if Dunn sees steady improvement.
