The Phoenix Suns have been shorthanded since the start of this season. Despite having one of the most lethal offensive trios in the league, Phoenix fans are waiting to watch their team play at full strength. Suns’ newly formed Big 3 of Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal, and Devin Booker are yet to make their on-court debut this regular season. Their superstar Devin Booker has played only two games so far and has been out due to injury.

But a recent update ahead of Phoenix’s clash against Anthony Edwards and Co. has given the Suns’ fans a glimmer of hope.

Devin Booker has been out for most of this season due to a calf injury. But according to the latest update by the Suns, Booker’s status for the next game against the Minnesota Timberwolves is officially probable. That means the NBA world might witness the highly anticipated debut of the Phoenix Suns’ Big 3 in tomorrow’s game. The Phoenix Suns are 4-6 to start the season and currently sitting in the 9th spot in the Western Conference standings. They need Booker to return to the court and play like a superstar. Booker performed great in the two games he played this season, scoring 32 and 31 points, respectively.

 

Devin Booker has been a key contributor to Phoenix’s success in recent years. He is arguably one of the best shooting guards in the league and led the Phoenix Suns to their first NBA Finals in 28 years in 2021. The return of Devin Booker will make the Suns a completely new team, as his presence will change the opponents’ scouting report.

The Phoenix Suns are on a 2-game losing streak. They lost their last two games against the Los Angeles Lakers and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Kevin Durant and Co. need a win against the Minnesota Timberwolves tomorrow to boost their confidence and get back in rhythm. Kevin Durant has played great this season, averaging MVP numbers. But that has not translated to wins for the Suns.

Bradley Beal is also trying to settle into his new role with the Suns, and he has not performed at his maximum potential so far. He is currently averaging only 17.3 points, which is his lowest scoring average since the 2015-16 season. Meanwhile, Anthony Edwards has elevated his game to the next level and helped the Timberwolves grab the 3rd spot in the Western Conference. It will be tough for Phoenix to topple Anthony Edwards and Co. without Devin Booker in their line-up. So, his status tomorrow is extremely crucial for the Phoenix Suns’ success.
