The Suns’ Bradley Beal and Grayson Allen were eliminated against the Kings

Phoenix Suns guards Bradley Beal and Grayson Allen will miss Wednesday’s game against the Sacramento Kings.

Beal suffered a bruised calf that kept him out of a crucial game in Tuesday’s win against the Utah Jazz, while Allen is suffering from hamstring soreness, according to the Suns.

Center Jusuf Nurkic is not listed on Wednesday’s injury report. He missed the visit to Utah after suffering an ankle injury in Phoenix’s final game against the Kings on Sunday.

For Sacramento, backup Malik Monk is out with a sprained right ankle he suffered Sunday against Phoenix.

If the Suns’ guard rotation is shortened because Beal or Allen is out, Phoenix could turn to backup point guard Monte Morris and shooting guard Damion Lee to eat up more minutes. Morris notably saw a larger role against the Jazz on Tuesday.

Nurkic started Sunday against Sacramento after being listed with ankle soreness, but left late in the first half. Mason Plumlee and freshman Oso Ighodaro filled in for the remainder of the game and again on Tuesday.

Kickoff for the Suns at Kings is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. MST. The game will be broadcast on Arizona Sports 98.7, the Arizona Sports App and AZ Family 3TV.
