In preparation for Saturday morning’s (10:00 AM AZ Time) away game against the Philadelphia 76ers, the Phoenix Suns have released their preliminary injury report.
QUESTIONABLE: Devin Booker (ankle).
Damion Lee (knee) and Bradley Beal (back) OUT
After missing a few games with an ankle strain, Booker made his regular season comeback last night. He got hurt in the first game of the season, but when he came back he scored 31 points, grabbed 9 boards, and dished out 13 assists.

The 2-3 Suns try to right the ship after dropping back-to-back games against the San Antonio Spurs.
We’re not upset, since defeats like these are inevitable in this league. It is true that it is still early, and I agree that we would prefer to win every game. Kevin Durant remarked after Thursday’s victory, “I know our fan base wants to win every game.”

Keep up the good fight and press on to the next challenge. The schedule has us away for three games. Let’s buckle down and see if we can’t bring some victories back to the States.
Beal hasn’t played in a single game this season due to lower back discomfort that has plagued him since preseason. Due to meniscus surgery, Lee will be gone for quite some time.
For personal reasons, Nicolas Batum is listed as doubtful for Philadelphia. The Los Angeles Clippers just got him from the Philadelphia 76ers in a huge transaction.
