LAS VEGAS – The NBA Summer League started with another bad break for Suns center Alex Len.

What was hoped to be an important summer league for Len's development ended with him suffering a right pinkie fracture in the opening game. Len could be sidelined for as much as two months once the fracture is examined today in Phoenix.

"It is bad timing right now," Len said. "It would have been the perfect time for me to get some playing time and get confidence back."

Len was going for the ball in the third quarter of the Suns summer team's loss to Golden State on Saturday night when his right pinkie got stuck in a Warriors' jersey.

"So I pulled it," Len said. "I thought it was just dislocated. It was looking awkward. So I put it back in place."

Len finished the game, logging 25 minutes and accumulating six points, six rebounds and two blocks. A postgame X-ray showed a fracture, and the finger was put in a splint.

Len had started at power forward alongside center Miles Plumlee and had good moments, getting a help-side block and follow block in sequence, being decisive with perimeter shots, feeding Plumlee on the interior and getting a slam follow.

"I felt good (Saturday), no question," Len said. "Just unfortunate."

The Suns and Len had hoped this would be an important summer for Len after two ankle surgeries kept him from participating in last year's summer league. He had limited basketball activity until training camp and then was limited to 42 appearances in his rookie year (8.6 minutes per game) because of early-season ankle setbacks and the team's playoff chase.

Len has bulked up 27 pounds since the Suns drafted him to 260 pounds and cut his body fat percentage in half. He now will have to focus on lower-body work and left-hand basketball moves. The Suns drafted Len fifth overall last year and he could be counted for a greater role in the coming season in light of the departure of Channing Frye, who often played at center.

Summer Suns win

Suns second-round draft pick Alec Brownshowed off his calling card — shooting — in the Suns' 93-82 victory against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday night.

It took a while for 7-foot-1 power forward's skill to show up in Las Vegas as he went 0 for 11 from the field (0 for 5 on 3-pointers) in the Suns' first seven quarters. But with the Suns trailing 79-73 with 4:40 to go on Sunday, Brown made his first 3 of the summer off a Tyler Ennis assist and followed it with a blocked shot (his other forte) as part of a 15-0 run that won the game.

"He's a 7-footer who can shoot a 3," Suns assistant coach Mike Longabardi said. "It is a high release, a tougher one. You see, when we're out there and Miles rolls to the rim, it's almost, I don't want to say like Channing but there are some similarities there."

The Suns went 0 for 11 on 3s in Saturday's game and were 4 for 17 through three quarters Sunday before making seven in the fourth quarter. Curry, a free-agent signee, led the Suns with 26 points, making five of seven 3s. Plumlee grabbed 12 rebounds and had a monster block on No. 2 pick Jabari Parker's dunk try. Guard Archie Goodwin added 17 points on 6-of-15 shooting while reserve guard Dionte Christmas tallied 12 points, eight rebounds and five assists.

Free throws

Suns first-round draft pick T.J. Warren, who scored 22 points in 24 minutes in a Saturday debut, was limited to seven minutes in Sunday night's game because he needed four stitches above his right eye and had swelling. The Suns primarily used eight players Sunday night.

• P.J. Tucker, who is expected to sign this week, attended the Suns' game Sunday night.
