Suns Completely Healthy Ahead of Lakers Matchup
PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns desperately need a win when the Los Angeles Lakers host them on a nationally televised Thursday night meeting.
They'll be fully healthy when they take the court.
From The Arizona Republic's Duane Rankin:
"Phoenix Suns coach Frank Vogel said Bol Bol (ankle), Nassir Little (knee) and Udoka Azubuike (illness) are back, meaning Suns will be fully healthy for first time going into a game outside of Damion Lee (knee), who hasn't played this season after Oct. 11 surgery."
The Suns have lost consecutive games after winning their previous five-of-six matchups.
Phoenix has largely struggled to stay healthy this season. Besides various role players missing time, their star trio of Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal have played less than seven games together as the Suns approach the halfway point of the season.
Phoenix knows the talent they possess despite the rocky start - though they're ready to make progress moving forward.
“It starts with their resumes. They are three of the best scorers in the game, and it’s going to take time for them to learn each other on the floor and stick together some wins. We’ve seen some brilliant stretches, but we aren’t as far along as the team that we saw tonight," Vogel said on his Big 3 after Monday's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Suns-Lakers will tip on Thursday at 8:00 PM Arizona time and will be shown on TNT.
