Suns Host Warriors With Healthiest Roster in Weeks
Phoenix enters Monday's 8 p.m. MST game against Golden State at 1-3 after a 127-120 loss to Denver.
Updated on Nov. 2, 2026 in Basketball
The Phoenix Suns list only Mark Williams as out ahead of their Monday night matchup with the Golden State Warriors at 8 p.m. MST. Oso Ighodaro is off the injury report after missing two games with an oblique strain.
Why it matters
With the Suns' cleanest injury report of the season, the lineup for this game is largely set, while Williams remains sidelined for multiple months. The matchup also gives Phoenix a chance to improve on a 1-3 start.
Stephen Curry has scored more than 30 points in each of his last two games, a scoring pace the Suns will need to contain. Mark Williams's absence leaves a significant gap in Phoenix's frontcourt rotation for the coming months.

Season Trajectory
Phoenix's 1-3 start puts pressure on the Suns in a Western Conference race where early-season losses can compound quickly. The Warriors' recent reliance on Stephen Curry and Draymond Green makes their availability a central variable in the matchup.
With only Mark Williams out, Phoenix's rotation for Monday's game is largely set, and fantasy managers can plan around a healthy frontcourt. Golden State's status for Curry and Green will shape how much scoring pressure the Suns face.
The takeaway
Monitoring injury updates before tip-off will matter most for both Phoenix and Golden State, since availability changes can quickly reshape a small-sample early season.
