Following more testing and conversations, the decision favors Beal’s long-term well-being and recuperation above a quick return to the court. However, even though the star has played a limited amount of matches he has shown his potential in each one of those.

Now as he is out due to his injury, the Suns are in a predicament. Because for him, they had made new strategies and restructured their team. However, as he is not available anymore, the team has to rethink their strategies and start again from scratch. As the Suns are looking into the foreseeable future at the moment and letting the star recover fully, they are more focused on Beal’s health.

How are the Suns looking at the moment?

The Phoenix Suns are at a crossroads in the early stages of their NBA season. Currently, they are having the record of 5-6 after 11 games. This, however, matches them with the eighth seed in the challenging Western Conference. Despite facing hurdles, especially the absence of their star guard Bradley Beal, the Suns defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 133-115 in their most recent game.
