Eubanks is questionable for Thursday's game against Portland due to a left ankle sprain, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eubanks logged 16 minutes Tuesday against Denver, however, it appears he picked up an ankle injury during the contest. If he's unable to go, Bol Bol, Chimezie Metu and Udoka Azubuike are candidates to see expanded roles behind Jusuf Nurkic.

Eubanks posted six points (1-3 FG, 4-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 115-107 preseason loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Eubanks has garnered a limited bench role in each of the Suns' first two preseason contests. Despite switching teams, the undrafted product out of Oregon State finds himself in a similar position as last year, operating as the primary backup to Jusuf Nurkic. With Portland in 2022-23, Eubanks averaged 6.6 points on 64.1 percent shooting to go along with 5.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 blocks in 20.3 minutes across 78 appearances (20 starts).

Eubanks and the Suns agreed on a two-year deal Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eubanks started 28 of his 78 appearances for Portland last year, averaging 6.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 blocks in 20.3 minutes per game. The Suns pulled Jock Landale's qualifying offer, so Eubanks will have a clear path to consistent playing time behind Deandre Ayton next season, though the Suns will presumably add a view more depth pieces to their frontcourt before the summer is over.

Eubanks (ankle) is out for Sunday's matchup against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Eubanks missed Saturday's game against the Clippers, and with the Blazers having nothing to play for in the regular-season finale, his absence is not surprising. Trendon Watford should start at center as a result.

Eubanks (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Eubanks missed Saturday's game due to the ankle issue, which resulted in Trendon Watford drawing the start at center and posting 24 points, two rebounds, three assists and a block over 26 minutes. It'll be more of the same if Eubanks misses Portland's regular-season finale.

Eubanks is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Clippers due to a right ankle sprain.
EDGE Analysis
With Portland eliminated from playoff contention, it wouldn't be surprising for Eubanks to sit out either leg of the team's back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday. If he is ruled out, Trendon Watford (ankle) would be the primary candidate to start at center, with Jusuf Nurkic (knee) unavailable.

Eubanks amassed 23 points (9-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and five blocks over 28 minutes during Thursday's 129-127 loss to the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Eubanks was efficient from the field en route to a season-high 23 points and grabbed a team-high nine rebounds, falling one short of his fourth double-double of the campaign. He also blocked three-plus shots for a third straight game and at least five shots for the third time this season. With Portland shutting down numerous regulars, Eubanks has drawn seven straight starts, averaging 12.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.9 blocks, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals with 50/36/68 shooting splits during that stretch.
