Mike Budenholzer said Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal were full participants in today’s practice on-court, did 3-on-3.
Will see how they feel afterward. Off Saturday. Looking to do 5-on-5 Sunday with the hope to have Beal and Durant ready for Tuesday’s game vs. Lakers. #Suns – 3:35 PM

The Suns’ offense hasn’t been the same since Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal went down, but it’s actually their defense that’s plummeted. We talked about it on the latest @PHNX_Suns pod!

Phoenix Suns 1-6 last 7 games. Lost last 5.
Been w/o Kevin Durant (calf) all 7 games and Bradley Beal (calf) for 5-game skid.
Is fix simply getting those two back or more than that?
Thoughts?
Takeaways incoming.
Next game Nov. 26 vs. L.A. Lakers in #NBACup group play. #Suns pic.x.com/faAKMTwjas – 9:54 AM

Which NBA players does Ace Bailey model his game after?
“Kevin Durant, Paul George, and Jayson Tatum… And I’ll say Tracy McGrady, too.”
What does he like about them?
“They can create shots, and they put their teammates in situations that they know they can succeed in.” pic.x.com/Rsr31THOCS – 10:47 PM

More on this storyline
Duane Rankin: “We gave ourselves a little cushion.” Devin Booker on 8-1 start as Phoenix Suns have been without Kevin Durant (calf) and Bradley Beal (calf). 1-5 w/o Durant. Lost last four w/o Durant and Beal. “A lot of learning experience for the young guys and just for all of us.” #Suns pic.x.com/gzfntpwo5r -via Twitter @DuaneRankin / November 20, 2024
Gerald Bourguet: Mike Budenholzer on Bradley Beal’s progress from the left calf strain: “Brad is putting in work to get back….There’s a lot of work that he put in today with our sports performance team, with our medical team. We feel like he’s making good progress, but there’s no update.” pic.x.com/7r6TYk1jhC -via Twitter @GeraldBourguet / November 18, 2024
With Herro averaging 24.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game while shooting 48.6 percent from the field, 45.2 percent from three-point range and 88 percent from the foul line this season, he’s on pace to become just the third player in NBA history to average at least 24 points, four rebounds and five assists per game while shooting 48 percent or better from the field, 45 percent or better on threes and 88 percent or better on free throws. The other names on that list are future Hall of Famers Stephen Curry, who did it during the 2015-16 season with the Golden State Warriors, and Kevin Durant, who did it during the 2020-21 season with the Brooklyn Nets. In other words, there’s a lot for Herro to be proud of through the first four-plus weeks of the season. But don’t tell Herro that. “Nothing,” Herro said when asked what he’s most proud of so far this season. “I’m not proud of anything yet, not one thing. I swear.” -via Miami Herald / November 22, 2024
Paolo Banchero: I had a lot of people reach out to me and it was dope. It made me kind of realize how big the moment was not just for me, but for people around the Magic, people around the league. But we had a game two days later. In the NBA, you move on fast. And so, I was happy. It lasted for the night, and then I was onto the next. But I was getting texts for probably the next 48 hours just from guys all over. T-Mac, Tracy McGrady, hit me up, Kevin Durant. Just different guys, friends, family, people I look up to. So, it was it was cool. -via Andscape / November 21, 2024
