Suns' Royce O'Neale: Out at least 10 days
The Suns announced Tuesday that O'Neale will be re-evaluated in 10 days after being diagnosed with a left ankle sprain, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports.
O'Neale suffered the injury in Saturday's 109-105 loss to the Warriors, and the Suns are now opting to shut him down for at least a week and a half after sending him in for further evaluation. Fortunately for Phoenix, Grayson Allen (concussion) is probable to return to action in Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, while Devin Booker (groin) is listed as questionable. O'Neale played well in December before injuring his ankle, averaging 11.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.1 three-pointers and 2.8 assists in 28.4 minutes.

Suns' Royce O'Neale: Won't play Tuesday vs. Memphis
O'Neale (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
O'Neale sprained his left ankle during the Suns' 109-105 loss to the Warriors on Saturday, and he finished the game with zero points, one rebound and one block over 12 minutes. It's unclear whether the injury is severe enough for a multi-game absence, but O'Neale's next opportunity to play will be this Saturday against the Pacers. Ryan Dunn, Josh Okogie and Oso Ighodaro are in line to see increased minutes off the bench Tuesday due to O'Neale's injury.

Suns' Royce O'Neale: Sits out practice
O'Neale (ankle) did not practice Monday, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
O'Neale had some imaging done that the Suns were optimistic about, but it sounds like his status for Tuesday's game versus the Grizzlies is in doubt. O'Neale suffered his ankle sprain Saturday against the Warriors and was unable to return. Although O'Neale could miss time, it sounds like Devin Booker (groin) and Grayson Allen (concussion) are on track to return.

Suns' Royce O'Neale: Leaves game due to ankle injury
O'Neale went to the locker room late in the second quarter of Saturday's game against the Warriors due to a left ankle injury, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.
O'Neale rolled his left ankle late in the first half, but he was able to limp to the locker room under his own power. Josh Okogie and Oso Ighodaro would be in line for more minutes in the second half of Saturday's game if O'Neale is unable to return.

Suns' Royce O'Neale: Strong showing on defense
O'Neale had 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-9 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals over 30 minutes off the bench during Friday's 98-89 loss to the Mavericks.
It's the first time all season O'Neale has recorded multiple steals and blocks in the same game. The veteran forward has been bouncing between the first and second units, starting seven of 11 games in December, but his minutes and usage have remained consistent. On the month, he's averaging 13.0 points, 5.5 boards, 3.4 threes, 3.0 assists and 1.1 steals in 29.9 minutes a contest while shooting 49.5 percent from the floor and 47.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Suns' Royce O'Neale: Back off starting five
O'Neale is not in the Suns' starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
O'Neale has been dropped in favor of Ryan Dunn. As a starter this season, O'Neale is averaging 14.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 29.8 minutes. In 25.2 minutes as a bench player, he has averaged 9.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists. Even though a demoted role for O'Neale has been followed up with decreased scoring, his rebounding has been up off the bench, so his overall output may not drop off too much.

Suns' Royce O'Neale: In starting five
O'Neale is part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
O'Neale will step into Devin Booker's (groin) spot in the first unit. In seven starts this season, O'Neale has averaged 15.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists across 29.3 minutes.

Suns' Royce O'Neale: Shifts back to bench Thursday
O'Neale will come off the bench in Thursday's game against the Pacers.
The 31-year-old will retreat to the bench with Bradley Beal (knee) returning to game action. Across his last five outings (all starts), O'Neale has averaged 17.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 30.0 minutes per contest.

Suns' Royce O'Neale: Leads team in another loss
O'Neale recorded 23 points (8-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 121-111 loss to the Heat.
The Suns have lost seven games without Kevin Durant (ankle), although O'Neale has mostly succeeded in plugging the hole left by the All-Star. He's averaged 21.0 points and 7.0 rebounds over the past two starts, and he could serve as a useful fantasy streamer due to Durant's questionable timetable for return.

Suns' Royce O'Neale: Scores 19 points in spot start
O'Neale produced 19 points (6-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Thursday's 126-124 loss to the Pelicans.
O'Neale made his third start of the regular season Thursday due to Kevin Durant (ankle) being sidelined, and the former managed to extend his double-digit scoring streak to three games. With Durant expected to be sidelined for at least one week, O'Neale should remain in the Suns' starting lineup alongside Bradley Beal and Devin Booker.

Suns' Royce O'Neale: Starting sans Durant
O'Neale will enter the starting lineup in Thursday's matchup against the Pelicans.
With Kevin Durant (ankle) sidelined, O'Neale will get his third start of the season. Over his last five outings (one start), the 31-year-old averaged 11.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 steals across 27.0 minutes per contest.

Suns' Royce O'Neale: Gets more production after injury
O'Neale provided 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-9 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 104-93 victory over the Spurs.
O'Neale and Grayson Allen received more minutes after Kevin Durant's (ankle) exit, and O'Neale would be considered a likely replacement in the lineup if the All-Star misses another game. Although he started only twice during Durant's last absence, O'Neale has been making the most of his minutes with decent scoring and viable rebound totals.

Suns' Royce O'Neale: Retreats to bench Tuesday vs. LAL
O'Neale will come off the bench in Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
With Kevin Durant (calf) returning from a seven-game absence, O'Neale will slide to the bench. The 31-year-old forward has averaged 8.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals across 24.4 minutes per game in his last five outings (two starts). O'Neale will likely still see significant playing time as both Durant and Bradley Beal (calf) will operate under a minutes restriction.

Suns' Royce O'Neale: Solid in return to first unit
O'Neale registered 17 points (6-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 138-122 loss to New York.
The Suns have experimented with the four frequently during Kevin Durant's (calf) absence, and they opted for O'Neale for the second time Wednesday. O'Neale's performances have rarely been consequential, as he's recorded a double-digit total only twice this season. The Suns will likely mix and match players often at the position, making O'Neale an unreliable fantasy option.

Suns' Royce O'Neale: Slides into starting five

Suns' Royce O'Neale: Back to bench Friday
O'Neale is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Thunder.
O'Neale struggled in the loss to the Kings on Wednesday and will head to the bench as a result, with Josh Okogie entering the starting lineup. O'Neale is averaging 10.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game when playing off the bench in 2024-25.

Suns' Royce O'Neale: Struggles in starting role
O'Neale ended with five points (2-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 127-104 loss to the Kings.
The Suns are struggling to account for Kevin Durant's (calf) absence. O'Neale and Ryan Dunn have both been ineffective in making up for the lost production, and the team has lost two of their last three games without Durant in the lineup. O'Neale has broken the double-digit scoring threshold only four times over the first 12 games of the season.

Suns' Royce O'Neale: Moves into starting lineup
O'Neale will start in place of Bradley Beal (calf) on Wednesday versus Sacramento.
O'Neale profiles is an integral part of Phoenix's rotation with Beal and Grayson Allen (ankle) unavailable Wednesday. O'Neale is averaging 12.2 points and 6.8 rebounds in five contests this season in which he's logged over 25 minutes of action, although he has failed to exceed eight points on three of those occasions.
