The Suns’ Big Three return. After a wait of just over two weeks, both Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal will be involved in Tuesday’s Los Angeles Lakers game, which corresponds to the NBA Cup.
KD hasn’t played since November 8th, the day he suffered a muscle strain. Shortly thereafter Beal fell, on November 12 to be exact, in his case due to an injury to his left leg. Now both will return to try to revive Phoenix, a team that had an 8-1 record with Durant on the pitch and suffered a 1-6 defeat without him.
Such a fall is not surprising. At 36, Durant began the season at MVP level averaging 27.6 points and 6.6 rebounds on 53.3 percent shooting from the field and 42.9 percent from three-point range. As for Beal, he stands at 17.8 points, 4 rebounds and 3.7 assists. The former Wizards player is very clear that if they are healthy they are really good.
«This is the most important thing for our team: if we can stay well, we know who we can be. We must meet this condition. Our availability is our best ability. In any case we can’t continue talking about it. We know what we can do, but we have to go out and prove it by playing. “Starting the year like we did… We have to start from there, go back to where we left off to take one more step forward,” he explains before confirming that he is fine.
«I definitely feel a lot better. It was definitely a good and very positive rehabilitation process. I’m grateful to have the schedule we had, which allowed us to get more rest. “I feel very good and I’m excited to be back (Tuesday),” he says.
