Deandre Ayton Records Double-Double In Loss
5 years agoPhoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton posted his third consecutive double-double in Sunday's 121-114 loss to the Grizzlies, as the 21-year-old finished with 14 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal on 7-for-14 shooting from the field. Ayton has been limited to just six games on the season due to a 25-game suspension for violating the NBA/NBPA's Anti-Drug Program in October, along with an ankle sprain that sidelined him upon his return in mid-December. Despite the extended absence for the second year big man, Ayton has been productive since returning on Dec. 17, with averages of 12.8 points, 12.7 rebounds and 1.0 block per game over the past four contests. Ayton will be a key contributor for the Suns moving forward, making the former first overall draft pick worth owning across all fantasy formats.
