Despite an indication by Suns’ coach Frank Vogel that we would see the full team play in tonight’s final preseason game vs. the Lakers like a regular season game, that will not be the case.
Devin Booker (rest) and Bradley Beal (back) will miss tonight’s game. However, Kevin Durant will play.
“I talked to each one of them, I said, ‘Tell me what’s the best environment for you to get ready for next Tuesday,'” Vogel said before the game. “Initially it was going to be for all three of them to play, but Book ultimately decided that rest would be better for tonight, and Brad is dealing with some tightness in his back.
