Injuries thin roster to 9; Eisley could be …

Lately, it's hard to tell there is a Suns game going on because so many
jerseys stay on the locker racks after tip-off.
Phoenix was down to nine bodies again Monday as Jake Voskuhl,
Howard Eisley and Jahidi White underwent tests on their ailments.
Eisley could be done for the season as he continues to ache from
a right inguinal hernia. He played through it without saying anything
until the pain was too much to practice a week ago.
"He'll be out for a while," said Suns coach Mike D'Antoni, whose team
has seven games left. "If they find something, we're not going to bring
him back."
There is so little time left and so little to play for that it is best
to be safe with the ailing players and give younger players more experience.
Voskuhl's magnetic resonance imaging test on the plantar fascitis in
his left foot was negative. He still missed his eighth consecutive game.
"When the pain goes away, he'll play," D'Antoni said.
White's right knee bone bruise has thinned the post rotation even more.
He will be kept out through the weekend trip to Memphis and Dallas.
The Suns already have a tough enough time on the boards as the league's
fourth-worst rebounders despite their size.
"We're trying to take more responsibility playing straight up,"
D'Antoni said. "That way, we can rebound better."
White hurt his knee March 24 at Philadelphia and has been available
only if needed.
Free throws
Joe Johnson, the NBA leader in minutes, went over 3,000 minutes
for the season. He can't break the team record of 3,378, set by
Dick Van Arsdale in the 1968-69 inaugural season.
Amare Stoudemire entered Monday's game as the league's fifth leading
scorer in March at 23.8 points per game.
