EDGE Analysis

Nader entered protocols Wednesday when he was already slated to miss his 19th consecutive game due to an ongoing knee injury. There was no clear timetable for the 28-year-old's return from the injury, but this update will likely keep him sidelined for at least a few more games even if his knee injury clears up. Nader joins teammates Jae Crowder and Deandre Ayton in COVID protocols leaving the Suns' frontcourt very thin.
