Suns Injury Report: Is Bradley Beal Playing Tonight vs Rockets? Latest Update on 3x All-Star Amid 5-Game Absence

The Phoenix Suns are gearing up to host the Houston Rockets for their final matchup of the season on Saturday, March 2nd, at the Footprint Center. Both teams will enter the game on the second night of a back-to-back, with the Suns coming off a 110-105 victory over the Rockets. But all eyes are on Bradley Beal. Questions arise whether Beal will take part in the game or not after a five-game absence.

The recent Bradley Beal injuries have kept fans and analysts on edge and keeping them on their toes regarding his comeback. The Suns have sorely missed Beal’s presence on the court since he encountered a hamstring issue after executing a 17-foot jumper in the February 13 game against the Sacramento Kings. 

Following the Sacramento game, Beal’s struggles continued when he sustained an ankle injury after landing on Donte DiVincenzo’s foot during a contest against the New York Knicks. But the troubles didn’t end there for Beal. In a subsequent game against the Pacers, he suffered a nasal fracture due to an elbow to the face, further extending his time off the court.

Despite all these setbacks, Beal has been listed as probable for the game tonight. It gives a glimmer of hope to Phoenix fans. His resilience and determination to overcome these setbacks highlight his commitment to the team’s success.

Predicted Lineups Phoenix Suns if Bradley Beal steps on the court

The Suns rank 5th in the Western Conference with a 35-24 record. Suns are riding a 2 game winning streak defeating the Los Angeles Lakers & Houston Rockets at Home. They have a solid record in their last 10 games with them emerging as winners in 7 games and losing just 3. With Nassir Little is listed as doubtful, Eric Gordon is questionable, and Damion Lee is out with a knee injury. The uncertainty surrounding Beal’s status adds to the intrigue of tonight’s game but this is how they could line up: Chris Paul, Devin Booker, Mikal Bridges, Jae Crowder, Bradley Beal.

The Rockets are in a much different situation as compared to The Suns. They have lost 3 games straight. And they have even managed to lose 8 of their last 10 games. Rockets currently hold 12th seed in their Western Conference. Their road is pretty much dismal as they have won just 5 away games out of 24 games away from Houston. This is how The Rockets could line up: Jalen Green, Kevin Porter Jr, Jae’Sean Tate, Alperen Sengun, and Christian Wood.

As we approach the tipoff anticipation mounts for the game with fans eagerly waiting for a decision on Beal’s availability. Will he make his much-anticipated return to the court, or will the Suns have to wait a little longer to welcome back their star player? The Suns are undoubtedly the favorites in this matchup, but Beal’s presence will significantly impact the outcome. Whether he plays or not, both teams will be battling for a crucial win as the season progresses.
