That is, both Bradley Beal and Devin Booker are expected to make their long-awaited returns to the court within the next week and a half.
Devin Booker has faced a series of injuries, including toe, ankle, and calf issues, which have caused him to miss five of the Suns’ seven games this season.
On the other hand, Bradley Beal, whom the Suns acquired during the offseason, has yet to participate in a regular-season game due to persistent back spasms.
According to NBA insider Shams Sharania, fans can anticipate seeing Booker and Beal sharing the court alongside Kevin Durant “in the next 7–10 days.”

Shams also highlighted the optimism surrounding Beal’s potential season debut, which could happen against the Bulls on Wednesday or the Lakers on Friday.
This exciting development would reunite the Suns’ “big three” just in time for the NBA in-season tournament.
With their star trio back in action, the Suns, as well as the rest of the league, will finally get a good glimpse of how dangerous a team they can be when fully healthy.
