The Phoenix Suns are less than a half hour away from wrapping up a back-to-back when they face the Sacramento Kings, and will be without two major contributors to the team.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!While Collin Gillespie (right ankle fracture) and Kevin Durant (left calf strain) are both out indefinitely, Bradley Beal (left calf contusion) and Grayson Allen (right hamstring soreness) were questionable before being downgraded to inactive.

Beal sustained a right elbow injury just two games into the season against the Los Angeles Lakers on Oct. 26 and has been on the injury report for the majority of the season so far. He then tweaked his knee this past Sunday against the Kings in Phoenix before leaving the game vs. the Utah Jazz in the fourth quarter on Tuesday with his current injury.
Like Beal, Allen has missed two games so far this campaign after being out due to personal reasons. From starting last year to coming off the bench, the Suns forward is averaging 9.0 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game, scoring 15 points vs. the Jazz 24 hours ago.
This will be the first game where two out of the three “Big 3” will be out, as Devin Booker is the lone player from the trio of him, Beal and Durant that will play in Sacramento.
The Suns and Kings clash at 8 p.m. MST in California.
