Phoenix Suns coach Mike Budenholzer shared a hopeful update on Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal's injuries ahead of Tuesday's Lakers matchup.

Durant currently has two years left on his deal, and the Suns opted to wait until the offseason to ink him to an extension rather than only extending him by one season earlier in the year. Despite maintained rumored interest from the Houston Rockets, Phoenix appears to be intent on keeping Durant around for the long haul.

The Suns are hopeful that Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal will make their injury returns in the team's next NBA Cup game against the Lakers.
