Suns update: Saben Lee signs 10-day as Phoenix plays Denver in second of road back-to-back

DENVER – The Phoenix Suns' injury report didn’t change from Tuesday.

The Suns are still without Deandre Ayton (left ankle sprain), Landry Shamet (right hip soreness), Chris Paul (sore right hip), Cameron Payne (right foot sprain), Devin Booker (left groin strain) and Cam Johnson (torn right meniscus) for Wednesday’s game at Denver (27-13) in the second of a back-to-back.

The Suns (21-21) beat the Warriors (20-21) with nine players available Tuesday at Chase Center in San Francisco to begin a four-game road trip as Mikal Bridges scored a team-high 26 points.

Phoenix snapped a season-worst six game losing skid.

Ayton and Shamet suffered their injuries in Sunday’s loss against Cleveland while Paul has been out the last two games after missing the second half of Friday’s loss to Miami with hip soreness.

Ayton has now missed five games with a left ankle sprain.

Payne re-injured his foot in the first half of a 90-88 loss on Jan. 4 at Cleveland as he missed nine games with a right foot strain. He'll be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Booker will be re-evaluated the last full week of January as he suffered his groin strain in Phoenix’s Christmas loss at Denver.

Payne, Paul and Booker didn’t travel with the team to start the road trip, but Payne and Paul are expected to join the team at some point during the trip.

Johnson is with the team as he continues to work his way back from tearing his right meniscus on Nov. 4 against Portland. He had a trim procedure done on the ligament on Nov. 8 to put him on a two-month timetable to return, but the Suns are being more cautious after Booker and Payne re-injured themselves.

Booker had missed three games with groin soreness, returned at Denver and had the groin strain within the first five minutes of the first quarter against the Nuggets. He hasn't played since.

The Suns signed Saben Lee to a 10-day Wednesday as he's with the team. The Corona del Sol graduate played one preseason game with Phoenix this season. In his third NBA season, Lee scored nine points in 14 minutes Oct. 12 against Sacramento.

The 6-2 guard played his first two NBA seasons with Detroit and played two games with Philadelphia this season. He'll wear No. 38 for the Suns.
