Knight (ankle) said he has his explosiveness back, the Arizona Republic reports.

Analysis:

Knight has missed the last eight games after spraining his ankle, but he was looking spry at Saturday's practice, and he said he finally has his full explosiveness back. "I had a lot of good pushes," Knight said of Saturday's workout. "I finally felt like I could do some things that I haven't been able to do, which is why I knew I wasn't ready to play yet. That was a big difference from (Friday's) practice." The Suns haven't ruled Knight in or out of Sunday's matchup with the Thunder, though at this point it looks like Knight has a good chance to play. Knight, himself, offered little insight into the situation saying only that he's "getting closer and closer."
