Barbosa (hand) is not traveling with the team but could return for the playoffs, Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Analysis:

Barbosa has traded in the cast on his left hand in favor of a brace and is progressing in his recovery. He's remaining in Phoenix to work with a hand specialist but has not ruled out a return for the playoffs. Of course, that hinges on Phoenix beating out Memphis and Dallas for one of the final spots in the West.
