Tainted by injuries, the Suns 2023 season has not quite met expectations as they hold an 11-8 record through the first month or so.
The anticipated synergy of the “big three”—Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal—remains elusive, with limited court time together.
Breaking down the trio’s appearances, Beal and Durant played three games without Booker, while Booker has joined Durant in only 8 games, never alongside Beal.
The Suns boast a 6-2 record in games featuring both Durant and Booker.
In their recent loss to the Nuggets, the absence of Booker and Beal placed extra burden on Durant and Jusuf Nurkic.
