Beal is out for Sunday's game against the Kings due to rest.
The final game of the season for the Suns won't have any of the members of their Big Three, as Devin Booker (calf) and Kevin Durant (ankle) are also out for this contest. Beal had a rough season in 2024-25, and there's already talk of him leaving the franchise in the offseason. He was limited to only 38 starts and 53 appearances, averaging 17.0 points, 3.7 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game. That was his worst scoring output since the 2014-15 campaign.

Suns' Bradley Beal: Drops 21 points in victory
Rotowire
Beal racked up 21 points (8-13 FG, 5-9 3Pt), four rebounds and six assists over 28 minutes during Friday's 117-98 win over the Spurs.
Beal delivered in the decisive win, and the chances of Beal's return next year are likely due to his no-trade clause. The Suns are carrying a lot of cash with their star-studded lineup, and some heads are bound to roll after the dramatic eight-game skid that dashed the team's playoff hopes. Only time will tell if Beal elects to find another suitor, but injury issues harm his value.

Suns' Bradley Beal: Leads team with 25 points
Rotowire
Beal supplied 25 points (8-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 125-112 loss to the Thunder.
Although Beal did his best to turn the tide, their eighth consecutive loss eliminated the Suns from playoff contention. Beal's season has been a mixed bag after appearing in only 52 games, and he's currently logging the second-worst seasonal scoring average of his 13-year career. Someone will have to answer for this disappointing result, and while coach Mike Budenholzer might lose his job, players like Beal could also be on the move.
Beal closed with 16 points (8-19 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists, two blocks and four steals in 34 minutes during Sunday's 112-98 loss to New York.
Devin Booker carried the Suns on offense, and while the Suns need Beal to be at his best, the veteran guard struggled once again and delivered a subpar showing. Not only was Beal disappointing from an efficiency perspective, as he needed 19 shots to score 16 points, but he also failed to make a meaningful impact in other categories. It's been only two games since Beal's return to action, but the early numbers aren't encouraging. In those two games, he's gone 8-for-26 from the field, 0-for-8 from three-point range and posted a 7:2 assist-to-turnover rate.

Suns' Bradley Beal: Struggles mightily in return
Rotowire
Beal (hamstring) finished with one point (0-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists, four rebounds, three steals and one block across 30 minutes Friday in the Suns' 123-103 loss to the Celtics.
Cleared to play after missing the last eight games due to a left hamstring strain, Beal took back a spot in the starting five and wasn't under any obvious restrictions, as he finished third on the Suns in playing time behind Devin Booker (38 minutes) and Oso Ighodaro (32 minutes). Though Beal came through with some unusually strong contributions in the defensive categories, he didn't provide much support for Booker, as he failed to make a shot while finishing a team-worst minus-23 during his time on the court. Better days are ahead for Beal, but some inconsistency in his performance should be expected over the next few games as he settles back in following the injury.

Suns' Bradley Beal: Progressing to 5-on-5 drills
Rotowire
Head coach Mike Budenholzer said Sunday that Beal (hamstring) has progressed to 5-on-5 work, though there still isn't a clear timetable for his return to game action, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Beal is slated to miss his seventh consecutive contest on Sunday against the Rockets due to a strained left hamstring. However, the veteran guard's progression to 5-on-5 work bodes well for his eventual return this season, and his next chance to play will come Tuesday against Milwaukee. Collin Gillespie will likely continue to receive an uptick in playing time due to Beal being sidelined.

Beal (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in one week, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Suns' Bradley Beal: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Beal (hamstring) will not play Monday against the Raptors.
After leaving Sunday's game against the Lakers early due to left hamstring tightness, Beal is listed as out due to a hamstring strain. Fantasy managers should be concerned about the possibility of additional missed games for Beal. Grayson Allen (foot) is also out Monday, so there could be more minutes available for guys like Tyus Jones, Collin Gillespie, Royce O'Neale, Ryan Dunn and Cody Martin.

Suns' Bradley Beal: Tweaks hamstring Sunday
Rotowire
Beal won't return to Sunday's game against the Lakers due to left hamstring tightness, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Beal tallied four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two rebounds across 15 minutes before checking out of the contest with 3;42 remaining in the second quarter and being ruled out shortly after halftime. The veteran guard has already missed time on multiple occasions this season due to lower-body injuries, so he'll likely face an uphill battle to gain clearance for the second leg of the Suns' back-to-back set Monday versus the Raptors. The Suns could get Grayson Allen (foot) back for that contest, but if both he and Beal are sidelined versus Toronto, Tyus Jones, Collin Gillespie, Royce O'Neale, Ryan Dunn and Cody Martin would all be likely to see boosts in their minutes projections.

Beal has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite dealing with left calf soreness. The star guard was also upgraded to available ahead of Phoenix's previous outing before exiting after 15 minutes, so it is worth monitoring to see if Beal is able to play the entire contest.
