Phoenix Suns center Robin Lopez, whose nerve issues have caused concern recently, reportedly will have to miss at least a couple of games. Our Suns blog, Bright Side of the Sun, highlights this tweet from John Gambadoro:
Robin Lopez Reportedly Doubtful For Suns’ Series Vs. Spurs
Robin Lopez will definitely not play in the first two games of the series vs the Spurs in Phoenix and is doubtful for the series
Here’s an immediate reaction from Bright Side of the Sun:
Without Lopez to guard Tim Duncan in the post, the Suns will likely have to rely on more double teams and hope that their defense, which was active and rotated well against the Portland Trail Blazers, can continue to perform without the big man in the middle.
The Suns were a top level rebounding team with Robin in the starting line-up but still managed to beat Portland on the glass by 21 rebounds in the first round without him.
