Suns' Devin Booker: Drops team-high 23 points
Booker closed Sunday's 119-84 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 23 points (8-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes.
Booker led Phoenix with 23 points, although it wasn't even close to being enough in what ended up a blowout loss. It continued what has been a slightly underwhelming season for Booker by his lofty standards, averaging 25.9 points, 6.0 assists and 1.9 three-pointers through 67 appearances. If the Suns are to have any chance of causing an upset, Booker is going to have to step up his contributions.

Suns' Khaman Maluach: Extended run in loss
Maluach closed with zero points (0-2 FG) and three rebounds in 15 minutes during Sunday's 119-84 loss to the Thunder in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Maluach played a handful of extra minutes, as Phoenix was never really in the game against Oklahoma City. With Mark Williams (foot) still sidelined, the Suns' center depth is going to be tested. Based on what we saw in Game 1, there is a chance this series could be over sooner rather than later.

Suns' Oso Ighodaro: Scoreless in start
Ighodaro recorded zero points (0-3 FG), nine rebounds and three assists across 26 minutes during Sunday's 119-84 loss to the Thunder in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Ighodaro remained in the starting lineup after Mark Williams was once again ruled out due to a foot concern. However, the good news ends there, with Ighodaro failing to score despite playing 26 minutes. Phoenix was completely outplayed on both ends of the floor, a trend that is going to be hard to buck. If Williams is to miss further time, Ighodaro will certainly need to provide more, should the Suns have any hope against the rampaging Thunder.

Suns' Jordan Goodwin: Won't return Sunday
Goodwin has been ruled out for the rest of Game 1 of the Western Conference first-round playoff series against the Thunder on Sunday due to left calf soreness, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Goodwin tweaked his left calf in the second quarter, and medical staff determined that the injury was severe enough for the fifth-year forward to not return to Sunday's game. He'll finish with two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt) over five minutes. Royce O'Neale started in place of Goodwin to open the second half.

Suns' Jordan Goodwin: Goes to locker room
Goodwin (undisclosed) went to the locker room during the second quarter of Game 1 of the Western Conference first-round series against the Thunder on Sunday, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
It's not exactly clear what caused Goodwin to exit Sunday's game, but the team should have an update once he is evaluated by medical staff. Grayson Allen and Haywood Highsmith should see more minutes for as long as Goodwin is out of the game.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Available to play in Game 1
Allen (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against Oklahoma City, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Allen missed the Suns' last three games. It's unknown if the veteran wing will see fewer minutes than usual following the layoff, so the door remains open for expanded roles from Ryan Dunn and Royce O'Neale.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Game-time decision for Game 1
Allen (hamstring) is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's Game 1 against the Thunder, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Allen has missed the Suns' last three games due to a left hamstring injury. He's coming off a career year, averaging 16.5 points, 3.8 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 3.1 threes and 1.4 steals over 28.8 minutes per game during the regular season. That production would need to be replaced by Haywood Highsmith, Royce O'Neale and Ryan Dunn if Allen is unable to play in Game 1.

Suns' Mark Williams: Won't play in Game 1
Williams (foot) won't play in Sunday's Game 1 of the Western Conference first-round series against Oklahoma City, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Williams wasn't available for the 111-96 Play-In Game win over the Warriors on Friday. His next opportunity to return in the first round will be in Wednesday's Game 2. In the meantime, Oso Ighodaro is in line for another start.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Listed as questionable
Allen (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's Game 1 against the Thunder.
Questionable tags have been par for the course for Allen. He was available for Friday's Play-In Tournament game, but he did not leave the bench.

Suns' Mark Williams: Questionable for Game 1
Williams (foot) is questionable for Game 1 versus the Thunder on Sunday.
Williams missed Friday's Play-In Game win over the Warriors due to a sore left foot, and now he's in danger of sitting out Game 1. If Williams needs to miss another game, Oso Ighodaro should earn another start, and there will be more minutes available for Royce O'Neale and Ryan Dunn.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Bigger role in 2025-26
Santos finished Friday's 111-96 Play-In Game loss to the Suns with nine points (4-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 30 minutes.
Santos dropped 20 points in Wednesday's win over the Clippers, though he was unable to carry that momentum into Friday's elimination game. The 2022 second-rounder operated in a limited role off the bench for the first half of the season, but he started 28 of his final 31 games of the 2025-26 campaign (including the Warriors' two Play-In Tournament games). Over that 31-game span, Santos averaged 15.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.6 threes in 31.0 minutes per contest while connecting on 50.7 percent of his field-goal attempts. His strong play earned him a three-year, $15 million contract extension from the Warriors in February, which could be a bargain if he continues to develop in Golden State's system.

Warriors' De'Anthony Melton: Nears double-double off bench
Melton tallied 16 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and three assists over 28 minutes during the Warriors' 111-96 loss to the Suns in Friday's Western Conference Play-In Tournament game.
Melton ended the 2025-26 season with a productive showing off the bench, finishing second on the Warriors in both points and rebounds behind Brandin Podziemski. Melton spent most of the season on the bench but was a regular member of the Warriors' starting five across 23 games from Feb. 5 to April 9. Over that span, he averaged 13.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.7 threes, and 1.7 steals over 24.7 minutes per game. Melton has a $3.45 million player option for the 2026-27 season.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Can't play hero again
Curry tallied 17 points (4-16 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals over 36 minutes during the Warriors' 111-96 loss to the Suns in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament.
Curry was the hero of the Warriors' comeback victory against the Clippers on Wednesday, but the two-time MVP couldn't replicate that success Friday, finishing with a minus-13 point differential while connecting on just 25.0 percent of his field-goal attempts. It was a disappointing 2025-26 campaign for Curry, who was limited to just 43 regular-season games due to various injuries, including a knee injury that cost him 27 straight games from early February to early April. He ended the regular season averaging 26.6 points, 4.7 assists (a career low), 3.6 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 4.4 threes over 30.9 minutes per game. Curry is set to make $62.6 million in 2026-27 in what is currently his final season under contract with Golden State, though it's hard to imagine the two sides not coming to an agreement on an extension during the offseason.
