The Phoenix Suns were up against the Minnesota Timberwolves last night, and the Unbothered 36 bombarded the hardwood with buckets. Devin Booker returned to the arena after being MIA for the last five games. However, even after showing up in the last game, Booker is questionable for the next one against the Utah Jazz.

The Phoenix Suns are the No. 9 seed in the Western Conference after the game against the Wolves. Do you think the debut of the Big 3 will improve that ranking, or does the team have to wait longer to amass such results?

Devin Booker and Bradley Beal are far out still

Bradley Beal is down with lower back spasms, and that has been a consistent case this season with the player. Although he was under speculation to show up against the Timberwolves, a last-minute scratch with a sore back delayed the debut of the Big 3 yet again. Since the injury scare is still persistent, the ‘questionable’ status still holds firm. With that in mind, it seems the loyal fans of the Suns have to wait for the Big Three to drop in stellar numbers.

The Suns have carried forward the legacies of the fast-break offense to outpace the Timberwolves in the last game. Combined with the decent defense of Beal, such offensive play can help land the team another win. However, the players have to be on their toes since Jazz is also running on a two-game winning streak after the last win against the Trail Blazers, 115-99. Can the franchise afford another injury at such an important juncture?

Bradley Beal will miss the ninth game this season once the Suns are up against the Utah Jazz at Vivint Smart Home Arena. It will be an in-season tournament, and it seems like the Phoenix side will have to share the load while Beal takes his own sweet time to fully recover. Bradley Beal has been missing games owing to his lower back injury, making only two appearances yet. Sustaining injuries to his calf, ankle, and knee, Beal still needs time to recover.

The Big Panda put up some decent numbers in his game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. Amassing 24 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists, the star guard has amped up his total minutes on the court by recording a 32-minute play. With such improved records, the Suns’ fans are awaiting the debut of the Big Three this season. It may be difficult to provide defensive coverage for the top-notch offense that Kevin Durant and Co. put up against the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference.
