Bradley Beal playing Wednesday would be a welcome sight if he is 100%.

Goodwin, Little, Okogie should get their shots up

It's sounding more and more encouraging, we may see Bradley Beal play tomorrow against the Bulls.

I have not looked it up. Is Beal’s back issues structural or did he pull something?

Pretty sure he pulled something. As far as I know, it's not something that has bothered him in the past.

Good to know. That worries me much less.

Fox sports website has a decent injury history section. Back was listed in 2021 in April for him by the Wizards. Looked into it more, he missed 5 games and that the year we made the Finals, with the abbreviated and condensed season. I don't consider that cause for concern.

Good news. I was thinking it could be another Nash situation.

Booker is still out but I would LOVE to see Beal tonight.

Looks like Hoop Head has it covered.

Really tempting to try and make some cash. If Beal plays, I think we're in for a blowout. Still should beat Chicago regardless.

The Suns start NBA In-Season Tournament play at home against the Lakers on Friday, so I think they will want to give Beal some minutes tonight if he ready to go.

Nurk and Vuc should be a good match up. Lavine will probably score a lot in a loss. I think JO and Goodwin clamp down the others.

Hate to be that guy, but Beal probably reaggravates the back and is out in the second half or the upcoming Lakers game.

Pretty freakin stoked for the game tonight

Think about it if you're Devin Booker - sitting back and watching this new roster get down

Used to be - if Devin Booker wasn't in the game - neither were we

Now there's no reason for him to rush back to the court - smarter not to

Being injury prone sucks - but we've already seen what being down two superstars looks like - it looked like the old school Devin Booker Suns where teams just double and even triple our only valid threat

If we have two superstars on the court during most games I think we'll be more than fine - and more than that - the third superstar can take their time healing from injuries - in theory at least

Anyways - can't wait to see Beal help KD with the workload - I also think Eric Gordon can do even better when asked to do less
