Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton returned to action after a seven-game absence on Tuesday, scoring 12 points with six rebounds as his team beat the Brooklyn Nets 121-111 for their 11th straight victory.
The Suns (41-9) continued their best start to the season in franchise history and have two double-digit winning streaks this season. They also won 18 games in a row from October 30 to December 2.
Phoenix not only brought Ayton back into the mix, but also saw starting forward Jae Crowder play Tuesday as well. He scored three points in 25 minutes (1 of 5 shots) after missing four games with a wrist injury. However, guards Landry Shamet (sprained right ankle) and Cameron Payne (sprained right wrist) missed the game against Brooklyn.
Ayton is averaging 16.8 points and 10.8 rebounds this season, his fourth in the NBA. The Suns won all seven games without Ayton to push their league-best record.
