The Phoenix Suns are up against the Utah Jazz tonight at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City after recording a previous win against the Jazz. In the second matchup against the Jazz after 131-128 on Friday, the franchise will be riding on a two-game winning streak. Although the Jazz lost the last game, their motivation to stay unbeaten this season stands tall. While the Suns were running on a Drew Eubanks-less team, the last win was worth the celebration; however, the franchise needs to go full-throttle in tonight’s game.

Will the Suns loyalists witness the Big Three on the hardwood tonight? Or maybe it’s just a game for the ‘unbothered-36’ to handle? Let’s dive into the injury report for the Suns.

Bradley Beal is down with lower back spasms and will be missing tonight’s game. The shooting guard missed the first seven games this season owing to the same injury scare but made his debut this season on November 8th for the first of three straight games. However, he is out for at least three more weeks, as per the latest updates on ESPN. With an average of 17.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in three games, Beal is definitely having a rough start to the season.

Devin Booker seems optimistic about his appearance on the hardwood; however, the lingering calf injury is not completely healed. The changes in Booker’s injury report reflected when the Suns put Yuta Watanabe as questionable with a left quad contusion and took the former off the list. After the change in Drew Eubanks’ injury report, only one other player is enlisted in the report.

Damion Lee, who is down with right meniscus surgery, will also miss the game. For the Suns, it’s just ‘Unbothered-36’ for the night, handling the two-game winning streak against a team that will showcase a revenge game.

It’s no secret that the sun was shooting the light out of the ball. However, the Jazz’s offense somehow diluted the blow. Although the players took extra care to avoid turnovers, they saw a ray of hope early in the second unit, only to trail behind the all-time great Durant’s three-pointer.
