Suns coach Alvin Gentry moved Hakim Warrick into the starting lineup on Sunday night and brought Hedo Turkoglu off the bench.

Warrick has fit better with Phoenix's first-team and Turkoglu has struggled as of late.

"It's nothing against Hedo," Gentry said. "His attitude is tremendous. He's down because he feels like he's not doing enough to help. I just have to put him in a position so that he can feel like he's helping our team. That might be some as a three (small forward) and more as a ball-handler."

Gentry said he will "stick with it enough to see if it's going to work."

Phoenix lost to Denver 138-133 on Sunday night.

Warrick had eight points and nine rebounds in 27 minutes of action, while Turkoglu tallied 13 points and four assists on 6-for-13 shooting in the same amount of time.
