Suns' rookie Alex Len still struggling with surgically repaired ankle

These first couple weeks of Suns center Alex Len’s NBA career likely will someday seem like a drop in a pool, but he can’t help but be anxious to make a splash.

After having a preventative surgery on the right ankle after the Suns drafted him, Len rehabilitated all summer to be cleared for basketball activity a week before training camp opened.

Len opened the season as the backup center for the first two games but has not played since, hoping that another week of sitting out practices and games will allow the soreness in his left ankle to completely subside.
