"Suns guard Leandro Barbosa will not return to action for tonight's game against New Orleans, saying that he asked coach Alvin Gentry this morning to take one more game off and make his comeback against Minnesota on Tuesday, which will be seven weeks after his surgery.

Barbosa's original timetable after Jan. 26 wrist surgery was to return in four to six weeks. He was slated to return Friday night against the Lakers but was bothered by feeling weak with his dribble Thursday at practice."
