Phoenix, AZ (My Sportsbook) - The Phoenix Suns activated center Jake Tsakalidis from the injured list and he could play Thursday night when the Pacific Division-leading Sacramento Kings visit America West Arena. After missing the last 34 games due to a lower back ailment, Tsakalidis said there was a good chance that he will play against the Kings. The 23-year-old Tsakalidis, who was selected by the Suns with the 25th overall pick in the 2000 NBA Draft, is averaging 5.1 points and 3.6 rebounds in 23 contests this season. Since the third-year pro was placed on the injured list on January 2, after successful back surgery, Phoenix has gone 14-18 without their starting center. He missed two previous games prior to going on the injured list. |
