JaVale McGee Will Miss Sunday’s Contest

Phoenix Suns center JaVale McGee (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Philadelphia. McGee has continued to be a solid per minute contributor when utilized off the bench, but the return of Deandre Ayton has made him a non-entity in season-long formats. On the year, McGee has averaged 9.3 points and 6.6 rebounds […]
