Multiple reports have suggested that Beal could return tomorrow night or Friday night against the Lakers at home. Now, the Suns make those reports sound even more promising with this injury designation. Beal has been listed as out or doubtful for every game since the season opener.
The optimism regarding his road to recovery was seen during his pregame warm-up routine prior to the Suns’ matchup against the 76ers on Saturday.
Beal’s intensified pregame regimen featured impressive three-pointers, sideline-to-sideline sprints, and dynamic stretches, indicating that he’s getting closer to a return.

After making the blockbuster deal for the three-time All-Star this summer, all of the anticipation for what Beal can do in his first season with the Suns finally looks like it’s nearing the beginning. Unfortunately, it will not be alongside Booker.
