They both had the same injuries while Beal missed 1 less game and they return at the same time? Seems odd. Of course KD had a calf injury this summer. I didn't think those issues lingered for months though. If they do then we're screwed already.

If the Suns have been resting Beal and Durant, they should have been resting Booker as well.

Devin hasn't looked 100% this season.

It's looking more and more like the Suns will get Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant back for the Lakers game.

Glad to have them back. After this stretch, I think it's safe to say our bench might be deeper but not great. I heard the guys talking this morning and they also said this system is dependent on our starters to create space for each other or it doesn't work. Beal confirmed that without them on the court, it's hard in this system for Book to operate with the space he needs.

I think our depth could get us by for a bit if the defense wasn't so atrocious. Maybe that part will get better as the team gets more games together, but it has been ugly these past 5 games or so.

I was going to say...Our offense has nothing to do with us playing harder, tougher defense. That's an effort issue in my book.
