11 Oct
Summary

The Phoenix Suns have revealed their starting lineup for Saturday's preseason home opener against the San Antonio Spurs. This game will feature a notable change in the team's starting five.
Devin Booker has been ruled out due to rest, and Miles Bridges will not play because of an ankle injury. The announced starters include Dillon Brooks, Ryan Dunn, Khaman Maluach, Luke Kennard, and Jalen Green.
Notably, Khaman Maluach, Ryan Dunn, and Luke Kennard will be starting for the first time. Maluach is drawing attention as he could potentially take on the starting center role with Mark Williams sidelined by injury. Booker has praised Maluach's significant summer improvement, anticipating he will gain valuable experience through increased playing time.
Luke Kennard's inclusion aims to bolster the team's three-point shooting, which was impacted by the departures of Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale. The game is scheduled to tip off shortly after 7:30 PM at Mortgage Matchup Center.
