Bradley Beal is set to miss his eighth game of the season as the Phoenix Suns face the Minnesota Timberwolves at home on Wednesday. Beal’s absence is due to a back injury, which had also ruled him out of the first seven games of the season. Despite playing in the previous three games, his exclusion against the Timberwolves has come as a surprise to many.
The Suns were close to fielding their star trio of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Beal together for the matchup against the Timberwolves. Devin Booker is expected to play after missing the last seven games due to a series of injuries to his calf, ankle, and foot. So far, Booker has only played twice this season.
Beal was listed as probable, indicating that he was likely to play. Booker expressed his excitement about sharing the floor with his co-stars during the shootaround on Wednesday morning.
Based on the team’s performance, it appears that fans will have to wait a bit longer to see the Suns’ big three in action together. In the meantime, the team will continue to rely on their other talented players to fill the gaps left by their injured stars.
As the season progresses, both Beal and Booker’s health will be critical to the success of the Phoenix Suns. Fans and teammates alike eagerly anticipate the moment when the big three can finally take the court together for a long and successful run.
