Suns Reveal Starters vs Nets

PHOENIX -- In their first game as a collective trio, the Phoenix Suns' big three of Bradley Beal, Devin Booker and Kevin Durant will take the court together against the Brooklyn Nets.

Here's the team's starting lineup:

Devin Booker
Bradley Beal
Chimezie Metu
Kevin Durant
Jusuf Nurkic

Phoenix's star-studded trio has officially defeated the injury bug (for now) and will play their first regular season minutes together.

"Really excited about it. High hopes for what this group can do together," said Suns coach Frank Vogel during his pregame press conference, citing an "uphill continuity" battle in terms of forging chemistry on the court.

Beal himself made his return to action in last night's win over the Golden State Warriors, logging 16 points in 27 minutes.

Booker - who dropped 32 points last night - was glad to have him back on the court.

“He is still getting his legs and his wind back, which I just went through the same thing. It is frustrating, the minute restriction, by the time you get your rhythm you turn around and you are subbed out" Booker said of Beal. "I just told him to stay level headed, but it is good to have you back out there.”

Durant was initially considered probable before being given the green light. He missed last night's win but did go through pregame warmups.

Metu himself impressed in his first start of the year, notching 14 points, five rebounds and one steal in the victory.

"Positional size is the first thing as to why we want to look at him. He played really well last night," Vogel said on Metu getting his second nod in the starting lineup.

Vogel didn't have any updates on the status of Josh Okogie, who injured his hip vs. Golden State after just 11 minutes of action and did not return.

Grayson Allen continues to heal a groin injury while Damion Lee remains out for an indefinite period of time after having meniscus surgery ahead of training camp.

Nassir Little was listed as questionable but is available.

Suns-Nets will tip at 7:00 PM Arizona time.
