Suns' Deandre Ayton: Fizzes in return Monday

Ayton (hip) racked up 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-4 FT) and eight rebounds in 30 minutes during Monday's 117-103 victory over the Jazz.

Ayton returned to action after missing the previous four games with a right hip contusion. While the playing time he received in his first game back was certainly encouraging, Ayton's production left a lot to be desired. He deserves some slack given he was making his return from an injury, though a lack of peripheral numbers is something that continues to drag down his overall fantasy value.
