Phoenix Suns’ power guard Kevin Durant has been cleared to play the game against the Washington Wizards. He is not on Phoenix’s injury report ahead of their home clash against the Wizards. However, the Suns’ Big Three will not be competing again as Bradley Beal has been ruled out of the game due to a sprain in his right ankle. According to a report, Beal will not just meet the next game but will be out of action for a few weeks to fully recover. Bradley hurt his ankle during the first quarter of a game against the New York Knicks on Friday.
Brunson impressed the audience with 50 points
The 23-year-old Nassir Little, on the other hand, is questionable despite playing on Friday night against the New York Knicks. Durant has led the way for the Suns in the game against the Knicks, where he gave the Rings of Honor to former superstar Shawn Marion during halftime. However, Jalen Brunson stole the show with his impressive 50-point explosion to lead the New York Knicks to a stunning win.
