I knew Beal had a slight issue but I hadn't heard any issue about Devin Booker.
Maybe the stars will be "injured" for most of the season. That way you can rest them without it being questioned because the are dealing with an "injury"?

This would be an awful idea.

End up lingering around .500 and a poorly timed sprain in March could see the team miss the playoffs entirely.

I hope the Suns are not like the previous version of the Clippers with their stars frequently out.

I'm not talking about big stretches here. I am talking about occasionally sitting out B2B games and every once in a while sitting out a game. That would not cause us to play .500 ball.

Not that I am particularly a fan of that, but whatever we have to do to be healthy come playoff time is good for me.

Welp… the Beal stuff is… what we might need to get used to. It’s his MO and why a lot of people didn’t want to touch that contract.

Not crazy about the Booker toe stuff coming outta nowhere.

Devin Booker and Bradley Beal are both listed as QUESTIONABLE.

Beal has missed more games than CP3 the last three seasons. Anything involving the back scares me.

With Draymond Green out, then if Book and Beal are out...what a disappointing opener.

Yup. Especially if it’s a problem before regular season wear and tear even begins to rear it’s head.

The toe issue dates back to last season. Must have re-aggravated it.

Last Thursday's game, Lakers, i knew something was up with Beal by him not playing. IMO the suns are telling how serious it is, and i think it is worse than they're leading on.

Shams is now saying Beal is likely out. Booker still questionable.

You never know with back injuries I guess, but I did not get the impression from his interview yesterday he thought it was very serious.

Bradley Beal is unlikely to play tonight. Devin Booker is questionable.
