PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns have released their initial injury report ahead of tomorrow's matchup with the Washington Wizards:

OUT: Bradley Beal (ankle), Josh Okogie (hip) and Damion Lee (knee)

QUESTIONABLE: Nassir Little (left knee soreness) 

PROBABLE: Eric Gordon (right lower leg contusion).

There's no surprise seeing Beal already listed as out after he tweaked his ankle pretty harshly in the opening stages of the team's Friday night loss to the New York Knicks

Thus far, Phoenix's big three of Beal, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker have played just one game together in the regular season. Beal played in just five prior to Friday after dealing with lower back issues in the first quarter of Phoenix's campaign. 

"Injuries are part of the game and [we're] disappointed for him. He's worked really hard. You could see the disappointment on his face in the back," Suns coach Frank Vogel said postgame. 

"That's my biggest concern is just keeping him lifted. He'll get back soon enough but it's been a frustrating injury type of season for him. In terms of us, injuries are part of the game. So we can't get caught up in that. It's just part of it and you move on."

Okogie also remains out with a hip injury suffered last week. Vogel spoke with reporters last night and said he doesn't anticipate Okogie to be out long-term. Lee still is out after having meniscus surgery ahead of training camp. 

Little is questionable after recently returning from a nasal fracture/concussion earlier this week while Gordon is listed as probable after missing the loss vs New York with a lower leg contusion. 

Phoenix has lost their last six-of-eight heading into Sunday's meeting with Washington.
