The Phoenix Suns are one of the oldest teams in the NBA. Naturally, and much like the rest of the league, they’ve been dealing with their fair share of injuries. But it looks like Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal may be returning to the court soon.
“We’ll see how they feel coming out of today,” Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer told reporters Friday. “The hope, the plan is they play five-on-five Sunday and continue to make that progression and hopefully be available for Tuesday against the Lakers.”
