The Suns’ Big Three are back. After waiting for more than two weeks, both Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal will be included in the game this Tuesday with the Los Angeles Lakers, which corresponds to the NBA Cup.
KD hasn’t played since November 8, the day he suffered a muscle strain. Shortly after Beal fell, on November 12th to be exact, in his case due to an injury to his left leg. Now the two will return to try to revive Phoenix, a team that has an 8-1 record with Durant on the court and has gone 1-6 without him.
Such a fall is not surprising. At the age of 36, Durant started the season at MVP level averaging 27.6 points and 6.6 rebounds on 53.3 percent shooting from the field and 42.9 percent from three-point range. As for Beal, he has 17.8 points, 4 rebounds and 3.7 assists. The former Wizards player stated that when they are healthy they are really good.
“This is the most important thing for our team: if we can continue to be good, we know who we can be. We must fulfill this condition. Our presence is our best ability. In any case not we can keep talking about it. We know what we can do, but we have to go out and prove it by playing. “Starting the year like we did… We have to start from there, come back as we left it to take another step forward,” he explained before confirming that he was fine.
“I’m definitely feeling better. It’s been a good and very positive rehabilitation process. I’m grateful to have the schedule we have, which allows us to rest more. “I’m feeling really good and I’m excited to be back (Tuesday),” he said.
