According to Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic, Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal underwent a nose procedure after the team was bounced from the postseason. The former Wizard suffered a broken nose in January. However, Beal had hinted after it happened that he would need to have his "septum realigned," so the latest update on his health didn't catch many by surprise. The 30-year-old averaged 18.2 points in his first season with the Suns, five fewer than his final season in Washington. He also logged just 53 games, missing time because of back and hamstring injuries. But Phoenix is strapped for cash this offseason, meaning everyone in the starting lineup should see plenty of minutes. If Beal can stay healthy, he has a chance to turn it around, even with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker also in the mix for scoring chances.
Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal posted a team-high 28 points on 10-for-19 shooting in Friday's 126-109 loss to Minnesota. He got going offensively after totaling only 29 points across the first two games of the series, hitting 6-for-11 from downtown and 10-for-19 overall from the field. Beal also registered four rebounds and four assists. However, despite his best efforts, the Suns got embarrassed on home court and face elimination in Sunday's Game 4. Beal sits fifth among active players with a career average of 28.1 points in elimination games.
Bradley Beal Leads Phoenix Into Playoffs With 36-Point Effort
Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal had an outstanding game in Sunday's regular-season finale against Minnesota, leading all scorers with 36 points in a 125-106 win. The Suns were in a must-win situation to qualify directly into the 2024 NBA Playoffs and did the business in impressive fashion with Beal leading the way. He was a red-hot 6-for-6 from three-point range and shot 14-for-21 overall while collecting six rebounds, five assists, two steals, and one block. Beal's debut year in Phoenix was a disappointment for many, but he came up huge for the Suns in the final couple of regular-season games. The three-time All-Star will now be expected to deliver in the playoffs as well. Beal has averaged 23.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.5 steals across his previous five post-season campaigns.
Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (finger) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Denver. The veteran star sprained a finger near the end of Monday's 104-102 loss to San Antonio and could be out of action for the first time this month. Eric Gordon and Royce O'Neale should take care of most of Beal's minutes if he can't play, with Grayson Allen in a position to get a few more shots. He was anonymous in back-to-back games against the Spurs but is having an impressive month overall, with 15.8 points averaged on 48.5 percent shooting from three-point range. However, snipers like Allen and Gordon might struggle in a matchup against a team like the Nuggets, who allow the second-fewest three-point makes in the league.
Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) is listed as probable for their game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The star combo guard played in their last game on Saturday against the Houston Rockets but he was only able to play 20 minutes. In that time, he registered just seven points, two rebounds, two assists, and two turnovers while shooting 3-for-6 from the floor. It's unclear how many minutes he'll receive in this matchup but with Devin Booker (ankle) ruled out, they'll need contributions from Beal to get a win over a very good Thunder team. Grayson Allen and Eric Gordon will likely play big roles if Beal can't put it in a full workload.
Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. As expected, Beal will make his return to the court after missing each of the last five games due to a left hamstring injury. His return will shift Royce O'Neale back to the bench. O'Neale won't have as much streaming appeal anymore and will only be worth a look in deep leagues. It's unclear if Beal is going to be under a minutes limit during this game. Regardless, fantasy managers in season-long formats can get Beal back in their lineups.
Phoenix Suns shooting guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) will likely be available versus the Houston Rockets on Saturday. Beal has missed five consecutive contests and will boost the Suns rotation if he returns, as Eric Gordon (groin) is questionable. He's averaging 18.2 points, 4.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game. The 30-year-old has only managed to play in 30 games this season, and he last saw action against Sacramento on February 13th.
Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) is officially out for the Suns' game on Thursday against the Rockets. The 30-year-old will miss his fifth consecutive contest with a hamstring injury.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for the Suns' game on Thursday against the Rockets. The 30-year-old has missed each of the last four games with a hamstring injury, and he's in danger of missing another. If Beal has to sit out again, Royce O'Neale or Eric Gordon will likely start in his place, while both should see an increase in minutes. Beal is averaging 18.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 4.5 assists in 32.6 minutes per game this season.
Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. The hope was that Beal would be healthy and ready to go after the All-Star break. That is not the case as the superstar guard will miss his second straight game on Friday. Both Eric Gordon and Royce O'Neale should see increased roles in the rotation with Beal out. Also, Devin Booker and Kevin Durant will be asked to carry the load on offense with Beal missing at least one more game.
