Bradley Beal will not play for the Phoenix Suns on Sunday when they play the Los Angeles Lakers,
There is some unsettling news for the Phoenix Suns. Due to hamstring issues, Suns guard Bradley Beal is still not ready to play, according to Phoenix Sports. The team’s Sunday matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers will be without Beal.
Suns coach Frank Vogel says Beal is remaining out due to discomfort the guard sustained during a recent workout.
Vogel stated, “You’ve got to be careful with soft tissue stuff,” according to Phoenix Sports. For the Suns, Beal has been sidelined since he was injured during a game against the Sacramento Kings on February 13. This year, Beal has also been dealing with a nasal issue.
Phoenix and head coach Vogel undoubtedly hope the veteran can get back on the court quickly. For the Suns this season, Beal is averaging 18 points per game while making roughly 50% of his shots from the field. He has made 30 appearances for the squad. He played with the Washington Wizards for a number of years before moving to Phoenix.
The Suns are fighting for playoff position in the NBA’s Western Conference. The team is eighth in the West, with a 33-24 record. The team has lost two games in a row. Phoenix will have to continue relying on Kevin Durant for offense, without Beal in the lineup. Durant is having , passing Carmelo Anthony on the NBA career points list while averaging 28 points a game.
