The Phoenix Suns are moving on to the first NBA in-season tournament against the Los Angeles Lakers this Friday. With the first home game for the Suns, the Unbothered-36 will be back in power on the hardwood. Although the Suns have dealt with the absence of star players since the beginning of this season, their in-season debut holds out some great hope for the franchise.

After establishing a two-game winning streak, the Suns might include the three-time NBA All-Star in the starting lineup to charge against LeBron James. Does that mean the Big 3 will finally make a debut on the hardwood?

Revealed: Devin Booker’s potential return date

The headline is self-explanatory enough to drop the major news at the moment. After Bradley Beal returned to the court and registered a victory against the Bulls, the franchise is waiting for Booker in Friday’s game.

In a recent interaction on FanDuel, NBA insider Shams Charania of “The Athletics” dropped the bomb. He said, “Yeah, Bradley Beal is back in lineups. So, they have two of their stars. They are still to play with three other guys, Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal, and Devin Booker, in a single regular-season game. But I am talking about Devin Booker eyeing a potential return on this upcoming home stand that the Suns have.”

The Phoenix Suns’ Big Three might stick together to face the Lakers, the Oklahoma City Thunder, and then the Minnesota Timberwolves back home. “Bubble Face” sustained a left big toe soreness in the season opener. He sprained his left ankle and thereby had to miss three of the four initial games for the Suns. Well, that was not all for the shooting guard.

After digesting a loss to the San Antonio Spurs, the star guard then suffered an injury to the right calf. With the return of Bradley Beal in the recent win against the Bulls, the mini-tournament to witness the Big 3 is the new hype in the hood.

The second confidant of the Unbothered-36 was down with lower back spasms through most of this season. The back injuries date back to the beginning of the preseason, with Beal not getting enough time to heal. After missing the first 7 games of the Suns’ season, the shooting guard made his debut against the Bulls on Wednesday.

Amassing 13 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists in his 24 minutes on the court, the player seems to take it slow for the starters. With Beal’s return, the Suns made a blockbuster start in the first quarter, with 36-28 in the lead. Although the Bulls were not an easy enough contender, the game resorted to overtime to settle the scores and declare a winner.

By the end of the buzzer, the Suns could record a hairline win against the Bulls, 116-115. After Nurkic’s stellar two-point driving layup in the final seconds of overtime, the franchise seems ready to face the Anthony Davis-less Lakers.
