14 De'Anthony Melton PG

Melton (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Los Angels, Gina Mizell of The Athletic reports.

Melton was optimistic that he'd be able to get back on the court in time for Wednesday's clash, but he'll have to wait until after the All-Star break before returning. Considering he'll have just over another week off to recover, he has a great chance of playing Feb. 21 against Cleveland.

Melton (ankle) hopes to return to the court Wednesday against the Clippers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Melton's absence Sunday will be his eighth straight as he continues to nurse a right ankle sprain. Recently acquired Tyler Johnson is stepping into the starting lineup and is likely to continue seeing heavy minutes should Melton remain sidelined.

Melton (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game against Sacramento, Gina Mizell of The Athletic reports.

Melton will miss his eight-straight game due to an ankle sprain. He remains without a specific timetable to return and can be considered day-to-day until more information is divulged. Tyler Johnson should continue to see significant run as long as Melton remains out, especially if Devin Booker (hamstring) also misses Sunday's game.

Contrary to a previous report, Melton (ankle) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Warriors, Gina Mizell of The Athletic reports.

While it was originally thought that Melton might return Friday, it turns out he'll miss a seventh straight game as he continues to nurse a right ankle sprain. At this point, the 20-year-old remains without a concrete timetable for his return, so he'll continue to be evaluated on a game-to-game basis, with Sunday's matchup against Sacramento representing his next chance to take the court. Newly acquired Tyler Johnson is expected to start at point guard Friday, and could remain the starter even after Melton is cleared to return.

Melton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors, Bob Young of The Athletic reports.

Melton was originally expected to remain sidelined through the All Star break due to a right ankle sprain, but it sounds like he's progressing ahead of schedule and could beat that return timetable. The Suns will wait and see how he feels at Friday's shootaround before making a final call regarding his status, so expect an update closer to tipoff.
