• Suns' Bradley Beal: Won't play Wednesday

  Rotowire Jan 22, 2025

  Beal (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nets. Beal will not be available for the Suns for Wednesday's matchup in Brooklyn. The veteran guard missed two games before returning Monday against the Cavaliers but finished with only five points, three rebounds and four assists in 25 minutes off the bench for Phoenix. Ryan Dunn, Royce O'Neale and Grayson Allen could see more time on the floor against the Nets in his absence.

• Suns' Bradley Beal: Limited production in return

  Rotowire Jan 20, 2025

  Beal (ankle) ended Monday's 118-92 loss to the Cavaliers with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four assists and three rebounds across 25 minutes. After missing the Suns' last two games with a left ankle sprain, Beal returned to action but struggled to get much going while he handled a light 11.7 percent usage in the blowout loss. Beal has struggled to adapt to his new role as the Suns' sixth man, as he's now averaging 14.7 points, 4.0 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers, 0.7 steals and 0.6 blocks in 30.4 minutes per game in seven appearances since moving to the bench. That level of production is still enough to make him worthy of rostering in most 12-team leagues and deeper, but his appeal in shallower formats is beginning to wane.

  Rotowire Jan 20, 2025

• Suns' Bradley Beal: Questionable for Monday

  Rotowire Jan 19, 2025

  Beal (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers. Beal was unable to play in the past two games for the Suns, but he was spotted getting some shots up at Sunday's practice and appears to be trending in the right direction. Guys like Ryan Dunn, Royce O'Neale and Grayson Allen could lose a bit of upside if Beal is able to give it a go.

  Rotowire Jan 17, 2025

  Beal (ankle) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Pistons. Since picking up an ankle sprain Tuesday, Beal will likely miss his second game in a row Saturday.

• Suns' Bradley Beal: Doubtful for Thursday

  Rotowire Jan 15, 2025

  Beal (ankle) has been listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Wizards. Beal suffered an ankle sprain in Tuesday's loss to the Hawks and now could miss Thursday's game in Washington. The Suns may be treading lightly with the veteran guard, considering his injury history and the team having another game Saturday on the road against the Pistons. If Beal doesn't play, Grayson Allen and Ryan Dunn could see more time on the floor for Phoenix.

• Suns' Bradley Beal: Briefly exits Tuesday

  Rotowire Jan 14, 2025

  Beal briefly exited Tuesday's game against the Hawks due to an apparent ankle injury and checked back in with 1:41 remaining in the third, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. Beal walked gingerly back to the locker room before quickly returning to the bench and eventually re-entering the game. The veteran swingman will likely be able to shoulder his normal workload the rest of the way, though the ankle could be something to monitor ahead of Thursday's game against Washington.

• Suns' Bradley Beal: Leads team with 25 points

  Rotowire Jan 10, 2025

  Beal contributed 25 points (11-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals in 33 minutes during Thursday's 123-115 win over Atlanta. Beal found himself with the second unit for the third consecutive game. The veteran's demotion is confusing, as Ryan Dunn isn't playing well enough to fend off competition for the role. The underlying cause could stem from rumors of tension in Phoenix's locker room and speculation about a potential trade on the horizon. Those who depend on Beal for production will need to monitor the situation as the trade deadline approaches.

• Suns' Bradley Beal: Struggles off bench in loss

  Rotowire Jan 7, 2025

  Beal finished with 10 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and five assists in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 115-104 loss to Charlotte. Beal struggled shooting the ball from the field in Tuesday's contest, but he still led all Suns second-unit players in scoring and assists while finishing as one of three players with a double-digit point total. Beal has failed to score more than 10 points in just five outings this season, but he has done so in three of the last four contests.

• Suns' Bradley Beal: Pops for team-high 25 off bench

  Rotowire Jan 7, 2025

  Beal racked up 25 points (10-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes off the bench during Monday's 109-99 victory over the 76ers. The struggling Suns had lost seven of eight coming into Monday, so coach Mike Budenholzer shook things up by dropping Beal and Jusuf Nurkic to the second unit in favor of Ryan Dunn and Mason Plumlee. The move worked, at least for one night, as Beal led the team in scoring in his first bench assignment since the 2015-16 season. The 31-year-old wing has dealt with knee and hip issues in recent weeks, and the minor injuries have led to inconsistent production. Beal has scored more than 20 points five times in his last nine appearances, but he's also scored in single digits twice, averaging 18.6 points, 3.0 assists, 2.8 boards, 2.6 threes, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks over that stretch. Despite the strong outing Monday, ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported Tuesday on First Take that the Suns are still trying to trade Beal, with previous reports linking Phoenix to Jimmy Butler, who's grown disgruntled in Miami.

• Suns' Bradley Beal: Expected to move to bench

  Rotowire Jan 6, 2025

  The Suns are expected to shift Beal to a bench role in Monday's game against the 76ers, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports. Currently in the midst of a four-game losing streak that has dropped them outside of the top 10 in the Western Conference standings, the 15-18 Suns will reportedly look to change up their starting five, with Beal and Jusuf Nurkic ceding spots on the top unit to Ryan Dunn and Miles Plumlee, respectively. Beal has been nursing a hip injury lately, but he's played in each of the last eight games while averaging 17.8 points and shooting 46 percent from the floor in 33.1 minutes. The move to the bench will likely lower his playing-time ceiling, but so long as he continues to see around 30 minutes in a sixth-man role, Beal's rest-of-season fantasy outlook shouldn't change dramatically.

  Rotowire Jan 4, 2025

  Beal (hip) has been upgraded to available for Saturday's game against the Pacers. The Suns get some good news ahead of Saturday's clash against the Pacers, with Beal being cleared to play. He's averaging 18.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.2 steals per game, shooting 48.9 percent from the floor and 38.6 percent from beyond the arc.

• Suns' Bradley Beal: Iffy for Saturday

  Rotowire Jan 3, 2025

  Beal (hip) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports. Beal sustained the left hip contusion during Tuesday's loss to Memphis, and he was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. If the star swingman is sidelined, Ryan Dunn and Monte Morris are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

  Beal (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. Beal left Tuesday's game versus the Grizzlies early due to a left hip contusion.

• Suns' Bradley Beal: Departs with bruised hip

  Rotowire Dec 31, 2024

  Beal has been ruled out for the remainder of Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies due to a left hip contusion, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports. He recorded three points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 12 minutes before exiting. Beal evidently suffered the injury at some point during the first half and will be shut down for the rest of the evening. Ryan Dunn and Josh Okogie are next in line for opportunities on the wing with both Royce O'Neale (ankle) and Grayson Allen (shoulder) also out.

• Suns' Bradley Beal: Efficient performance in X-mas win

  Rotowire Dec 26, 2024

  Beal supplied 27 points (11-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and four steals across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 110-100 win over the Nuggets. Beal has been on a tear of late and surpassed the 20-point mark for a third consecutive game Wednesday while ending just one point shy of tying his season-best scoring output. What's even more impressive is the fact that Beal has been shooting the ball at an extremely high clip. The veteran guard is averaging 22.0 points per game while making 57.0 percent of his shots, including 53.8 percent of his threes, over his last five outings.

• Suns' Bradley Beal: Puts up 16 points in return

  Rotowire Dec 20, 2024

  Beal (knee) tallied 16 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one block across 31 minutes in Thursday's 120-111 loss to the Pacers. Though he wasn't operating under much of a minute restriction in his return from a two-game absence due to right knee swelling, Beal took on a modest 17.8 percent usage rate Thursday. He could be primed to see an uptick in his scoring and playmaking opportunities in the Suns' next game Saturday versus the Pistons, however. Devin Booker was unable to finish Thursday's contest due to a groin injury and could miss time, which would put Beal in line to handle a heightened role out of the backcourt.
