The Phoenix Suns announced that guard Bradley Beal will return to the lineup Friday night against the Hornets.
He’s been out just over two weeks after suffering a right ankle sprain landing on the foot of Knicks guard Donte DiVincenzo‘s while attempting a 3-pointer.
That was just the sixth game he has played all season while dealing with a lingering back injury. The Suns’ star trio of Beal, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, formed when Phoenix acquired Beal in a trade with the Washington Wizards this summer, has played just one game together this season.
Without their Big 3, a Phoenix team with high hopes is just 15-15 and 10th in the West.
