Sun star shooting guard Devin Booker has entered health and safety protocols and will miss at least Wednesday night's game against the Trailblazers.
It remains unclear if Booker was placed into protocols because of a positive COVID-19 test or because of a close contact.
If Booker's placement is because of a positive test, he will be required to quarantine at least five days and will miss Phoenix's matchups against New York and Milwaukee.
The Suns are already without veteran point guard Chris Paul, who is out for a significant stretch after suffering a fractured right thumb.
With both star guards out, the Suns team SIC health score has dropped to 71.7.
Backup point guard Cameron Payne is probable for Wednesday night's matchup and will likely start in place of Paul. Cameron Johnson will likely get the start at shooting guard with Booker out.
Aaron Holiday and Landry Shamet could also be in line for more minutes.
At 49-12 the Suns have the best record in the NBA and sit 6.5 games clear of the Warriors for first place in the Western Conference.
