BREAKING: Star Player Receives Injury Update for Warriors vs. Suns Game

In this story:
The Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns are set to face off on Tuesday night, and Suns star Bradley Beal is expected to make his return from injury. The news was first reported by Duane Rankin of AZ Central and Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Beal has played in just three games this season, as a back injury has held him out for most of the year. One of the biggest acquisitions of the NBA offseason, Beal was brought in to form a big three next to Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. While injures have yet to allow that to materialize, the Suns are still very optimistic about what this roster can do when healthy.
Both the Suns and Warriors are off on Monday before facing each other on Tuesday, which gives Beal one extra day to get ready, while giving the Warriors an extra day to prepare for his expected return. It seems likely that Beal will be on a minutes restriction in his first game back, as the Suns want to make sure they are careful with him after missing so many games.
The Suns have been up and down to start the season, sitting near the middle of the Western Conference standings for most of the year. Expected to be near the top of the conference, the Suns hope to make a surge once Beal returns.
