Inching Closer to a Superteam Reality

The Phoenix Suns are on the verge of realizing their superteam vision, with guard Bradley Beal potentially making his debut against the Chicago Bulls. As reported, Beal has yet to hit the court for the Suns this season due to back tightness. However, significant progress has been made toward his return.


Bradley Beal's Steady Progress


Bradley Beal was seen taking shots during the Suns' practice in Chicago on Tuesday, and he completed an intensive pregame workout before their last game against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday. While there's no confirmed return date, Coach Vogel is optimistic, stating,
"He looked good and felt good. So he's getting closer. Still no firm timetable, but he's definitely getting closer."

Beal Upgraded to Questionable

The recent upgrade to questionable status suggests that Beal is on the cusp of making his debut in a Suns uniform, sparking hope among eager fans.

Devin Booker's Setback

However, it's not all good news for the Suns. They'll still be without their All-Star guard, Devin Booker, who's expected to be sidelined against the Bulls due to a calf strain. Booker had been dealing with an ankle sprain from the season opener against the Warriors and then developed soreness in the calf, leading to the diagnosis of a calf strain. Coach Vogel mentioned,
"He's trying to get back as quickly as possible, but he's dealt with a toe first, then an ankle and now a calf strain."

Beal and Booker's Return

While Beal's potential return is a promising development, the Suns will need to wait for Booker's full recovery to see their trio of superstars in action. In the absence of both Beal and Booker, the offensive load has fallen heavily on Kevin Durant's shoulders. The Suns have managed a 3-4 record this season due to their thin roster depth.

Optimism for the Suns

The Suns are eagerly anticipating a return to full health. Getting Beal back in action alongside Durant will undoubtedly relieve some of the offensive burden, hopefully setting them on a path to more victories.
