Suns' Jared Dudley: Expects to be available Friday

Dudley (knee) will return to the lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Trail Blazers, Paul Coro of AZcentral.com reports.

Analysis:

Dudley is dealing with some tendinitis in his knee and could get additional days off for rest throughout the remaining preseason schedule. However, he'll be available Friday and should jump back into the starting lineup at power forward. Marquese Chriss will likely move back into a bench role, but could still see significant minutes if the Suns opt to limit Dudley's minutes.
