Injury Details: Bradley Beal and Jusuf Nurkic
Bradley Beal suffered a nose injury on January 27, a day after the Suns’ game against the Indiana Pacers. The team’s medical staff is taking extra precautions due to Beal’s history of missing significant time earlier in the 2023-24 season with back and ankle injuries.
Jusuf Nurkic faced a finger jam during the game against the Indiana Pacers, limiting his playing time to just 20 minutes. Throughout the season, Nurkic has been absent from only two games, both on December 22 and 25, attributed to personal reasons rather than injuries.
