Leuer is dealing with an upset stomach and is considered doubtful to play Saturday against the Celtics, Paul Coro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Analysis:

It's unfortunate timing for Leuer, who has ascended back into the starting lineup over the previous two games while Tyson Chandler (back) has been sidelined. Leuer should be over the stomach issue before long, but his likely absence Saturday will weaken the team's depth in the frontcourt. Mirza Teletovic is seemingly the top candidate to start at power forward if Leuer and Chandler are both indeed out.
