Suns’ Bradley Beal expected to play, Cam Thomas out for Nets

Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant are expected to play for the Suns against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday for Phoenix’s second home game.

The injury report originally listed Beal as doubtful and Durant as probable.

Both players were listed with left calf injuries that forced them each to return in a win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday. The official injury report was marked ‘return to injury management’.

The pair scored 23 points each in their respective returns to help Phoenix beat Los Angeles 127-120.

The runaway play allowed Durant to limit his playing time to 30 minutes, while Beal hit 27 minutes.

The Nets are dealing with a longer list of injury problems.

While former Suns forward Cam Johnson will play despite a right ankle injury, an ESPN report from Shams Charania said Wednesday that leading scorer Cam Thomas (24.7 points per game) will be out three to four weeks with a hamstring injury.

Forward Dorian Finney-Smith (left ankle) is a go, while centers Nic Claxton (lower back injury treatment) and Day’Ron Sharpe (left hamstring strain) are out.

That includes veteran shooter Bojan Bogdanovic (recovering from left foot injury) and second-year forward Noah Clowney (sprained left ankle).
