Suns' Tyson Chandler: Will sit out Friday's preseason game

Chandler (personal) will not be available for Friday's preseason outing versus the Trail Blazers, Paul Coro of AZcentral.com reports.

Analysis:

Chandler sat out Wednesday's game as well, so Friday will mark a second straight game on the sidelines as he continues to tend to a personal issue. While specifics have not been released, it's not expected to be an issue that lingers into the regular season and he could be back as soon as Wednesday's preseason matchup with the Jazz. His absence should give further opportunities to the likes of Alex Len, Marquese Chriss and Dragan Bender in the frontcourt.
