Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal will miss his third straight game to begin the season and guard Devin Booker is doubtful when the Suns play their home opener against the Utah Jazz on Saturday.
The Suns also ruled out Damion Lee (knee) in their injury report Friday evening.
Beal, who was acquired from the Washington Wizards over the summer, has yet to make his regular-season debut with the Suns due to a back issue. Beal missed 32 games last season because of a number of injuries. He was shut down after playing only 40 games in the 2021-22 season following wrist surgery.
Booker played well in the Suns’ season-opening win over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday, finishing with 32 points, eight assists and six rebounds. But he missed Phoenix’s loss against the Lakers on Thursday because of a foot injury.
Beal, a three-time All-Star, has averaged 22.1 points and shot 37.2 percent on 3-pointers in 695 career games.
Booker, also a three-time All-Star, has averaged 24.0 points and shot 36 percent on 3-pointers in 531 games.
