Kevin Durant’s ankle sprain, incurred during the Suns’ heartbreaking quarterfinal defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers, has worried fans and experts alike. The injury prompted him to miss the previous game, creating a void in the Suns’ lineup that they want to fill with his comeback against the Warriors. However, Kellan Olson revealed the status of Durant and said he will not be making a comeback in this match as well.

If KD had made his much-awaited debut tonight, the Suns’ big three of Durant, Bradley Beal, and Devin Booker would have made their much-anticipated debut. Injuries to Beal’s back and Booker’s ankle, foot, and calf have kept the three from displaying their combined talent on the floor this season. However, despite having their key players injured, they have maintained a record of 12 wins and 10 losses.
The probable reunion of the Suns’ big three on the floor is more than simply a one-time occurrence. It provides a look into the team’s future goals and potential. The addition of Beal, combined with Durant and Booker, provides a formidable offensive three that has the potential to redefine the Suns’ possibilities as legitimate league contenders.

Bradley Beal will make his much-anticipated return to the court with Devin Booker for the very first time this NBA season against the Golden State Warriors. The Suns have removed Beal from their injury list, signaling his comeback after missing 12 games due to an injury to his back. So, while Durant’s possible return is crucial, the Suns are also counting on Bradley Beal, who has been out with a back ailment, to return.
His offensive ability, along with Durant and Booker’s scoring prowess, provides a serious threat to the Suns’ opponents. So, Beal’s comeback will be a turning point for the Suns as it will help them reach their full potential against the Warriors.
