The good news is the Suns should get Devin Booker back from injury. He reportedly "looked great in practice."

Nurkic, Allen and Okogie look to be out.

I was interested in trading Nurkic, but I changed my mind. The team is so poor at rebounding that it can't afford to lose Nurkic.

Sources: Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkić (finger) who hasn’t played this preseason, plans to make his debut in Thursday’s preseason finale against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Nurkic playing tomorrow against the Lakers is a welcome surprise.

It sounds like Nurkic is still iffy for the Lakers game, as is Allen and Okogie.

Nurkic almost looks too thin in this video, whereas I thought Allen might be carrying too much weight.

Who cares, it's not like the Lakers are a threat. They aren't even going to make the playoffs.
