6 years agoPhoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton returned to his usual starting spot on Friday after coming off the bench on Thursday due to an illness and posted a solid line in the loss. Ayton scored 16 points with 11 rebounds and added two assists with a block in 29 minutes on the night. Ayton had a hard time keeping up with the Heat's Bam Adebayo in this one as he recorded a career-high 22 points of off cuts to the hoop and hustle plays. Either way, Ayton looks to be back on track and hopefully keeps things going on Monday when his club takes on the Clippers.--Gianni Costantiello
