Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal and big Jusuf Nurkic practiced Friday heading into Saturday’s rematch against the Washington Wizards at Footprint Center to begin a three-game homestand.
The Suns (22-21) ended a five-game road trip with a 108-84 win Wednesday over a depleted Brooklyn Nets team. Booker scored 32 points and Durant added 24 in the win. The Suns will begin a three-game homestand Saturday night against the Washington Wizards at Footprint Center looking to build off winning three of their last four games.
The Washington Wizards head to Footprint Center to face the Phoenix Suns in a non-conference matchup. The Wizards are 6-36, which puts them in last place in the Eastern Conference. The Suns are 22-21, which puts them in 10th place in the Western Conference.
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 look like they will be a play-in team when the regular season ends. But one more trade could be on the horizon.
On Tuesday, the Phoenix Suns made their second trade of the season, sending an unprotected first-round pick in 2031 for three first-round picks. The Utah Jazz sent the Suns picks in 2025, 2027, and 2029, although all three picks will be the least favorable of the Jazz, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Minnesota Timberwolves.
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.
