After playing in three straight games following missing seven to start the year, Bradley Beal will likely be missing two more with low back spasms.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Beal is listed as doubtful for tomorrow’s In-Season Tournament matchup on the road against the Jazz tomorrow. He was a late scratch before last night’s 133-115 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. After the game, coach Frank Vogel said that Bradley Beal woke up with “residual” back tightness, and they were hoping it would loosen up for the game. The team did not make the decision to not play him until the one-hour mark before the game.
Devin Booker is probable after his return from a five-game absence due to a right calf strain last night. Drew Eubanks has been added to the injury report with low back tightness after combining to score 28 points across the Suns’ last two contests. Jordan Goodwin continues to be available with a jaw contusion he suffered in the Suns’ road win over the Pistons nearly two weeks ago. Damion Lee remains out after undergoing right meniscus surgery this offseason.
Eric Gordon was not on the injury report after returning from a one-game absence against the Timberwolves due to left shoulder soreness.

Booker and Kevin Durant more than made up for Beal’s absence yesterday, as the Suns shot 60/55/94 from the field as a team in a monster offensive outburst. The three stars still have yet to play in a game together this season.
Earlier this season when the Suns played the Jazz, neither Booker or Beal played, yet Durant helped Phoenix blow out Utah 126-104. Phoenix not only plays Utah tomorrow, but Sunday as well.
Could we see this same offensive output tomorrow night at 8 p.m. MST?
