The Phoenix Suns’ season is already marked by highs and lows amidst expectations of the dominance of a big three – Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant, and Devin Booker. Unfortunately, injuries have greatly influenced their story. The team’s recent defeat to the Toronto Raptors, where Kevin Durant scored 30 points, highlights these issues.
The Suns, however, have other doubts in mind too, as they gear up to take on the Denver Nuggets. The bigger one, is star point guard Devin Booker fit to play after his right ankle injury?

Awaiting the return of Devin Booker against the Denver Nuggets
The Suns, apart from Durant, were meek in their 112-105 defeat to the Raptors. A cause of further concern for Phoenix, Devin Booker has been listed as questionable for their Denver match-up. A concerning update for fans, it also heightens the pressure on the rest of the team to step up.

Meanwhile, Damion Lee is out for months, while Bradley Beal’s return time is still unclear. Booker’s return is pressing for the Suns since they currently lack the fundamental building blocks of the team. The injury report may also be viewed in a positive manner, as no Suns players apart from Marion have been reported out. Grayson Allen and Kevin Durant are supposedly fit, presenting an additional advantage.

Besides these, Nassir Little left the trip early for personal reasons, Grayson Allen battled an illness, and Kevin Durant overcame right foot soreness. As elements of the narrative, these factors show the strength involved in surviving an arduous NBA season.
Suns vs. Injury issues looming over key Nuggets players.
The injury report is not limited to the Suns’ camp as they prepare to face the Nuggets. The opposition remains uncertain over Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon, who are listed as questionable. Phoenix is looking forward to reclaiming what is, as some would argue, rightfully theirs after a narrow loss last time out. While the Nuggets want to continue their good run of form, which now stands at three wins on the trot.
This is a highly competitive matchup that promises intensity as both teams try to be the best team in the Western Conference. Each team’s season trajectory will be narrated by the outcome of the game as far as the standings are concerned.
