Bradley Beal of the Suns is expected to play, Cam Thomas is out for the Nets

Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant are scheduled to play for Phoenix in the Suns’ second straight home game against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday.

The injury report originally listed Beal as questionable and Durant as probable.

Both players were listed with left calf injuries each suffered in a win against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday. The official injury report included the designation “return from injury management.”

The pair scored 23 points in their respective return games, helping Phoenix to a 127-120 win over Los Angeles.

The out-of-control play allowed Durant to limit his playing time to 30 minutes while Beal reached 27 minutes.

The Nets are dealing with a lengthy list of injury problems.

While former Suns forward Cam Johnson will play despite a right ankle injury, an ESPN report from Shams Charania on Wednesday said leading scorer Cam Thomas (24.7 points per game) will miss three due to a hamstring injury is canceled for up to four weeks.

Forward Dorian Finney-Smith (left ankle) is available to play, while centers Nic Claxton (lower back injury treatment) and Day’Ron Sharpe (left hamstring strain) are out.

The same goes for senior shooter Bojan Bogdanovic (recovering from a left foot injury) and second-year forward Noah Clowney (left ankle sprain).
