From Talking Phoenix Suns and the NBA:
Bradley Beal update as he’s a week away from an re-evaluation of his low back strain.
“He’s making progress. Still it’s a workload and see how his back responds type of phase.”
Beal has only played three games with his new team. #Suns pic.twitter.com/Cbc2AJ7Nr5 – 9:49 PM

“He hasn’t tried to be anybody other than Kevin Durant. There’s a lot to be said for that. When young players come in the league, everybody wants to say he’s the next. And Kevin Durant was never the next anybody. He was the first Kevin Durant.” #Nuggets coach Michael Malone #Suns pic.twitter.com/e25TwYd5Tk – 9:42 PM

Friday night at the DNVR bar. Vibes are immaculate. Let’s pregame.
Predictions for “chapter 3” aka pre-Jokmas
Who will be the protagonist?
Murray-less Nuggets on the road

Sacramento Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox has now appeared in enough games to qualify for the official league leaderboard. He is fourth in the NBA in scoring at 30.7 ppg, trailing only Joel Embiid (32.0 ppg), Kevin Durant (31.3 ppg) and Luka Doncic (31.1 ppg). – 8:55 PM

Some good, high-energy Boucher minutes. Rajakovic was critical of himself for not finding more time for Chris vs Phoenix the other night (he played 3 minutes). He was the 10th guy in tonight but he’s already logged 7 minutes. The result: 6 points, 2 assists, +11. – 8:34 PM

As far as Bradley Beal goes, Frank Vogel said he’s making progress. Called it a “workload and then see how his back responds type of phase.” Beal is set to be re-evaluated next week as part of that initial 3-week re-evaluation timeline – 8:27 PM

Frank Vogel said Devin Booker has been getting treatment every 12 hours, twice a day, since the ankle injury. Said it was a case of sometimes guys can tough it out to finish a game, but then it swells up after. As for his status for tomorrow, “We’ll see how he feels tomorrow.” – 8:24 PM
