Suns' Leandro Barbosa: Out Tuesday vs. Hawks

Barbosa (hamstring) will sit out Tuesday against the Hawks, Mike Conti of Sports Radio 92.9 AM The Game reports.

Analysis:

Barbosa continues to deal with a lingering right hamstring injury, which will force him to sit out a second straight game. That leaves the Suns extremely shorthanded in the backcourt, with the likes of Eric Bledsoe (knee) and Brandon Knight (back) having been shut down for the season, Devin Booker (ankle) sitting out with an ankle injury and Ronnie Price still questionable with a lower-leg injury. Those absences should result in heavy workloads for both Tyler Ulis and T.J. Warren, who project to serve as the starting guards Tuesday.
