Under the glaring clarity of the Arizona's desert sunlight, Phoenix Suns' diamond in the rough, Bradley Beal, was forced to step off the court last Friday night, the gripping vice of an ankle injury claiming him as its latest victim. The faces of fans in the New York Knicks crowd reflected an ending to a basketball symphony that had barely begun, like the chilly rain that interrupts a once sunny day.
The Suns' luminary trio of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Beal, possessing the celestial grandeur of Orion's Belt in the league's night sky, have harmoniously graced the court together for a solitary game this season. Their previous constellation occurred in their Wednesday night eclipse by the Brooklyn Nets.
