Kevin Durant is not on the Phoenix Suns’ injury report while Bradley Beal is questionable (left calf injury management) for Saturday’s game against the Golden State Warriors.
Both stars had lower-body tweaks late in a loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday after they made their returns from calf injuries one day prior in an NBA Cup win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
“It’s alright, it’s a little tweak,” Durant said postgame. “It ain’t hurt too bad.”
Meanwhile, Beal felt pain in both his ankle and calf areas, he told David Brandt of The Associated Press after the game.
