Ahead of the Phoenix Suns’ game against the Washington Wizards on January 25, 2025, the team gave an injury update on two key players:
Bradley Beal (SG): Beal was listed as probable for the game due to a left ankle sprain, which he sustained in a prior game against the Atlanta Hawks.
Jusuf Nurkiฤ (C): Nurkic was listed as day-to-day with an illness, and his status for the game was uncertain.
Despite the injury concerns, the Suns managed to secure a 119-109 victory over the Wizards. Kevin Durant led the charge with 29 points, while new addition Nick Richards made a huge impact, registering 20 points and a career-high 19 rebounds.
Beal’s status was questioned before the game due to the ankle injury, and Nurkiฤ was uncertain to play because of his illness. Ultimately, the Suns were victorious in the match.
