Deandre Ayton Stats

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton appears to be at a crossroads with the team as he finds himself vulnerable to being traded this offseason. It's not the first time the 24-year-old's name has been dangled in trade talks. Marc Stein believes that the Dallas Mavericks are not overly interested in him, calling it "overstated" to think otherwise. Ayton has been a fixture of the Phoenix lineup over his tenure, averaging a double-double in each of his five seasons in the desert. Dallas could theoretically use the big man's services to complement Christian Wood, if they intend on re-signing him, in their frontcourt. It sounds like no exchange is close to happening at this time. Ayton has three years left on his pricey contract with the Suns.

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton might still be on the move in the offseason despite the team already parting ways with head coach Monty Williams, who didn't see eye to eye with the former first-overall pick. "The organizational discontent, impatience, eye-rolling, whatever with Ayton, go way beyond Monty Williams," Zach Lowe said in the latest episode of The Lowe Post podcast. "There's a lot of people in that organization that are tired with Deandre Ayton. You can see it in the game. You don't even have to be at the game to see the body language, the eye-rolling, the 'what is this guy doing?'" Ayton was recently linked with a move to Chicago.

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (rib) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 6 versus the Denver Nuggets. The big man was questionable coming into this game due to a right rib contusion. It appears the issue is serious enough that Ayton will be forced to miss this elimination contest. His absence will result in more playing time for Jock Landale. He's averaging 6.3 points and 6.0 rebounds across 19.7 minutes in the last three games. Possibly, Bismack Biyombo gets more action as well, but Landale is the better fantasy option between the two.

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (rib) is listed as questionable for Thursday's Game 6 against the Los Angeles Lakers. The big man is dealing with a right rib contusion, which could be part of the reason he has struggled in this series. His absence would likely result in Jock Landale sliding into the starting five. The Suns could be in a tough spot without Ayton in a win-or-go-home matchup on Thursday.
