Coach Frank Vogel said after practice today that the Suns are hopeful Gordon will play tomorrow, but are going to see how he responds to today’s practice.
Bradley Beal (low back strain) and Damion Lee (right meniscus surgery) remain out for the Suns. Beal is scheduled to be re-evaluated on Friday, as this marks the end of the announced three weeks since the Suns said he would next be evaluated.
“He’s making progress, but still no timetable,” Vogel said at practice today about Beal.
