The 2023-24 NBA season is finally up and running. In the opening four days of the new season, NBA fans have enjoyed some thrilling matchups. Given the heightened competition for the NBA title, this season promises to introduce fresh narratives and unexpected contenders. The Phoenix Suns have been touted as the early frontrunners for the title. However, the Suns have started the season with inconsistency, due to injuries to key players.

As the Suns prepare to take on the Utah Jazz in their upcoming game, the availability of their star player, Devin Booker, remains uncertain.

The Suns missed the services of Bradley Beal and Booker against the Lakers and the duo will miss tonight’s matchup against the Jazz. Beal is recovering from a lower back tightness. Whereas Booker is nursing a sore left foot. The Suns have scheduled Booker for an MRI scan on his left foot and are optimistic that he will be back in action when they face the Spurs on October 31st.

No Book (ankle) or Beal (Back) again tonight against the Jazz.

The Suns began their season with an impressive win over the Warriors on October 24th. In a tightly contested matchup, the Suns emerged victorious with a 108-104 win, led by Devin Booker’s 32-point performance. However, their second game against the Lakers didn’t go their way.

The Lakers defeated them with a score of 95-100 on the back of inspired performances from LeBron and Anthony Davis. The Suns’ lack of world-class quality was very evident, as Kevin Durant’s individual efforts proved to be insufficient.
