Tyson Chandler

Suns' Tyson Chandler will return to starting lineup Friday

Phoenix Suns center Tyson Chandler (illness) will return to the starting lineup on Friday against the Golden State Warriors.

What It Means:

Chandler has been fairly average this year, posting a 1.4 nERD, and his return to the lineup will mean less minutes for Alex Len and Jon Leuer.

Despite offering little in the way of offense anymore (he's averaging 5.4 points per game with a .473 Effective Field Goal percentage), he's still a force on the boards, and leads the Suns with a 19.6 percent rebound rate.
