It’s finally here!

We finally get to see the Phoenix Suns playing basketball with their veterans and rookies together, taking on another NBA team to boot!

Tonight the Suns face the equally striving for relevance Sacramento Kings.

We saw most of these guys in Summer League, but both teams have been augmented with their veterans, while both teams are potentially missing their most dangerous outside shooter (with apologies to Buddy Hield).

Out/injured

Suns: Devin Booker (hand, 2-4 weeks)

Kings: Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee, 4-6 weeks)

Probable Starting Lineups

Suns

The Suns don’t have to relegate both Josh Jackson AND T.
