“He’s definitely a problem.”
#ClipperNation coach Ty Lue on Deandre Ayton as LAC will face him for the first time this season. #Suns pic.twitter.com/A1Du0yfcAm8:49 PM

Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Ty Lue said he’s not necessarily looking at finding ways to turn Phoenix over more often (lowest turnover % since Jan. 1) but says offensive rebounding and transition defense are his bigger keys. – 8:39 PM
Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM
Luke Kennard will warm up before the Clippers determine if he will play tonight. – 8:36 PM
Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Luke Kennard (ankle) might or might not play tonight in Phoenix, Ty Lue says. He’ll warm up and see how he feels. – 8:36 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Monty Williams, like Steve Kerr ~24 hours ago, praising/noticing unorthodox usage by Tyronn Lue to have Ivica Zubac defend on perimeter and switch even with Luka Doncic (and Stephen Curry) on floor. – 8:17 PM
Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Hello from Phoenix. Here pregame, Monty Williams brings up unprompted Ty Lue trying Zubac on Doncic as an example of Lue being willing to throw curveballs. Williams said LAC’s physicality switching defensively and shot-making stood out in the GSW win. – 8:17 PM
Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson
Suns Coach Monty Williams (on Zoom) says he’s been impressed with the Clippers’ defense — notes Zu’s coverage of Luka in the halfcourt the other night. – 8:17 PM
