Knight (ankle) may not play in Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Craig Grialou of 98.7 FM reports.

Analysis:

Knight struggled in his return to the court Sunday against the Thunder, putting up three points on 1-of-10 shooting over 22 minutes off the bench. Suns coach Jeff Hornacek said afterward that Knight will likely be held out for the ninth time in 10 games, with Phoenix playing the second half of a back-to-back Monday against the Trail Blazers. The team may have rushed Knight back a bit too soon, and while an aggressive approach makes sense under the circumstances, the Suns are dangerously close to falling out of the playoff chase.
