Although Bradley Beal is slated to make his highly-anticipated return on Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors, the debut of the Suns’ full new-look big three is going to be put on hold.
After initially being listed as questionable for Tuesday’s game due to an ankle injury, Kevin Durant has been ruled out against the Warriors. Despite Durant’s absence, the Warriors will still have to figure out how to slow down the high-powered duo of Beal and Devin Booker.

With Durant ruled out, the Suns will likely lean on Keita Bates-Diop and Josh Okogie at the forward position against the Warriors. Yuta Watanabe could also see an extended role on Tuesday against Golden State.
The Warriors are slated to meet the Suns in a primetime showdown at 7 p.m. PT on Tuesday evening.
