The Washington Wizards host Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns on Saturday and Wizards All-Star point guard John Wall will not play.

John Wall is dealing with the flu, according to the team. Tomas Satoransky will start in his place.

In 30 games this season for Washington, John Wall is averaging 21.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 8.9 assists per game. The five-time All-Star is shooting 44.7 percent from the field, 30.4 percent from beyond the arc and 68.8 percent from the free-throw line.

The Wizards are coming off a 18-point loss to the Houston Rockets. John Wall played 38 minutes in that game and finished with 18 points, 12 assists and seven turnovers. Washington is 12-20 on the season, 11th place in the Eastern Conference standings.

The Wizards are a disaster right now. They have lost six of their last seven games. The Suns, meanwhile, come into the nation's capital on a four-game winning streak. The Wizards can't play down to the level of the Suns because they might lose if they do.

With John Wall out, Washington's offense will run through All-Star shooting guard Bradley Beal, who is averaging 23.5 points per game on the season and shooting 47.8 percent overall and 35.0 percent from the 3-point line.
