Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal are back.

The Phoenix Suns stars are expected to return from injury in time for Tuesday’s nationally televised NBA Cup game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Head coach Mike Budenholzer said Sunday that Durant and Beal had a “good day” in 5-on-5 practice and that they will “hopefully” be able to play on Tuesday.

On Monday, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that the two plan to play Tuesday in a game that will be televised on TNT.

Durant has missed the Suns’ last seven games with a calf strain. Beal has missed five straight games, also with a calf injury. The Suns are 1-6 since Durant’s injury and have lost five straight games without both players.
