Suns Injury Report: Official Update on Bradley Beal Before Wizards’ Sunday Visit to Phoenix

Consistent injury troubles continue to plague Bradley Beal, adding to the woes of the Phoenix Suns. Prior to the recent hiccup, he had already endured a significant absence due to a troublesome back injury. In only his second game back on the court, misfortune struck again as he suffered a harsh ankle injury against the New York Knicks. The injury occurred early in the game when Beal awkwardly landed on Donte DiVincenzo’s ankle while attempting a three-pointer.

In a testament to his resilience, Beal sank the three and made the and-1 free throw despite the injury. However, the pain took its toll, leading him to head to the locker room, and unfortunately, he did not make a return to the game.

Bradley Beal will miss some time

As per the trusted NBA insider Shams Charania, Bradley Beal is expected to be sidelined for a few weeks following his recent injury. Furthermore, Shams adds in the comments that tests reveal no damage to Beal’s ankle, despite the alarming nature of the injury.

Beal is a highly promising player in the league, both individually and for the Phoenix Suns. So far, he has faced a frustrating journey into the 2023 campaign.

However, despite the setbacks, fans and the Suns community can contribute positively to Beal’s morale by continually offering support and encouragement amid the challenges posed by injuries.

What does this mean for the Suns’ big three?

Phoenix Suns’ highly anticipated big three, consisting of Beal, Kevin Durant, and Devin Booker, made its regular-season debut with a 116-112 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, Durant’s former team. The defeat underscores the need for the three-star players to spend more time on the court together to foster chemistry and cohesion. The Durant and Booker connection has already seen an improvement as they have spent more time together in games.

The trio is hailed as one of the league’s best lineups and the most talented backcourt in the NBA. As they faced challenges during their inaugural appearance, efficient rotation issues were evident. Beal, despite his caliber, registered a low field goal attempt game with just nine shots. This paled in comparison to Durant (18), Booker (15), and even Jusuf Nurkić (15).

While Beal displayed efficiency with a 6-9 shooting, the Suns need to provide him with more opportunities to make use of his caliber. With his return now extended, the team faces the dual challenge of holding their own in his absence and then adapting their pace and approach once he returns to the lineup.
