Suns Injury Report: Beal, Jokić made available for Friday night’s matchup

Phoenix Suns star guard Bradley Beal is available in their matchup against the Denver Nuggets. The three-time All-Star was removed from the second half of their comeback win against the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday with a nagging calf injury.

Beal was listed questionable against the Nuggets with left calf injury management and was later made available on Friday morning’s shootaround. He will be re-inserted into the starting lineup alongside Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, Bol Bol and Nick Richards, according to coach Mike Budenholzer.

Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic (left ankle inflammation) and Aaron Gordon (left ankle sprain) were both also listed questionable ahead of Friday night’s primetime matchup. The two Denver stalwarts are also available.

Phoenix (29-33) is looking to ride the momentum from their win against the Clippers to make a run for the final Western Conference play-in spot. They sit 3.5 games behind the Dallas Mavericks (32-31) who have recently been decimated with injuries; notably to star guard Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis.
