Booker will play unless his toe has fallen off.

Beal sounds like he may need to be managed for a while.

Assume Gordon starts? Pretty much a Walmart Beal.

Lol at the people shocked regarding our dudes missing openings night. Better get use to it.
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

What do people reallistically think is the number of games the big 3 all play together this season?

I just hope it's more than 16...

Beal's injury is interesting as that's never been part of his list of injuries that made him injury prone.
I'd make absolute certain he's 100% before letting him touch the court. Back injury is bad news. Let it heal and work on chemistry later in the season

Bates Diop to come in if Beal misses?

Gordon, Booker, Okogie, Durant, Nurkic
Goodwin, Allen, Watanabe, Bates-Diop, Eubanks

Still a pretty flawless lineup if Nurkic can defend.

I mean, Nurk isn't exactly a good defender.

I don’t buy any of those injuries. Probably trying to save face for sitting Book and Beal last preseason game after Vogel saying both were playing.

“Bradley Beal didn’t sound certain he will play tomorrow. Beal’s dealt with back tightness in the preseason and had a tweak leading up to last Monday’s Lakers game.”

That is honestly very very bad. Dude has had back tightness all preseason. Doesn’t sound like something that’ll heal unless he takes some major time off.

I’ll admit, of the big three, I think Beal is the one guy we can most easily replace just based on who our bench guys are and what we will be asking Bradley to do on the court. A terrible, terrible sign of a lingering issue that may become even more problematic during the playoffs, but at least it’s early right now. Just hoping and praying we are healthy at the right time.


There are too many IFs on this team especially Beal and KD with their injury histories so it looks like we're just using blind optimism that everything will fall into place.

Similar to the Clippers we will be serious title contenders depending on the health of our star players.

Also, all betting apps have Booker and Beal listed to make bets. Usually betting apps would take the player down if they’re iffy. I don’t buy it. Both should probably be listed as probable.

What are you talking about it?

Haven't you seen that every player on any other contender are all in their prime, they have never had any injury and all of them played 82 games last year?

Shams just tweeted that Beal is unlikely to play. Sucks but its smart to not push him I guess
