“I’m in a good spot.”
Bradley Beal on his return from a left hamstring injury that sidelined him five games.
Said he close to returning mentally after #NBAAllStar break, but “my body was like, no, pump the brakes.”
Beal 1st basket for #Suns vs. #Rockets.
No mask. Down 15-11 pic.twitter.com/B8rKi6uS9z – 9:19 PM

When Booker slows down with the ball and gets his feet set just right, you just know he’s going up with it, regardless of how far out he is. Rockets need to closeout as soon as he starts setting up to shoot. – 9:18 PM

Bradley Beal (hamstring) will be on minute “range,” will start Saturday against #Rockets, Frank Vogel said.
Eric Gordon (groin) felt a little discomfort. One more day will help in terms of his possible availability Sunday.
Nassir Little (knee) appears to be further off. #Suns – 7:22 PM

Frank Vogel sounded optimistic that Eric Gordon might be ready to go for tomorrow’s game. Said it was a situation where one more night of sitting out would help with the remaining discomfort, but he won’t need to get a practice in or anything first to return – 7:21 PM
