The Phoenix Suns will get their “big three” back after a few extra days of rest due to the NBA Cup.
He (Beal) looked good in practice yesterday and all indications were positive regarding his status the past few days.

The Suns are 7-2 in games that Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal play in. While the record is encouraging, the number of games they’ve played together is not.
The Suns are 7-2 in the nine games that Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal have all played in this season.
9 of 25 possible games.

Here’s the full of the breakdown:
- Durant + Booker: 5-0
- Booker + Beal + Durant: 7-2
- Booker + Beal: 1-4
- Booker: 0-5
Devin Booker has played in all 25 games, making him the one constant in the rollercoaster injury report that the Suns have faced. Beal and Durant have each played in 15 of 25 games.
Beal is averaging 17.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.3 assists on a shooting split of 49/36/80.
They’ll need him to stay healthy as they look to stack wins in a deep and competitive Western Conference race.

We’ve seen this dance before, so I will be tempering expectations. Let’s just hope they can all stay healthy, get some valuable reps in, and win games in the process.
