BROOKLYN – Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal is ruled out of Wednesday’s game against Brooklyn at Barclays Center with a left ankle sprain after playing Monday at Cleveland following a two-game absence with the injury. “There’s soreness,” Suns coach Mike Budenholzer said before Wednesday’s game. “He's unable to go."

The Suns acquired Beal from the Wizards in the summer of 2023 in a deal that sent Chris Paul to the Wizards. The three-time All-Star left Washington second on the franchise’s all-time scoring list with 15,391 points in 11 seasons, just 160 points behind Elvin Hayes.

For the game, the Suns could be without one of their best players, as Bradley Beal is on the injury report. Beal is averaging 17.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 48.
