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 listed guard Bradley Beal as out (left ankle sprain) for Phoenix's game against an injury-hit Brooklyn Nets team on Wednesday.

We're two weeks away from the deadline, and new names who could have a market have emerged. But No. 1 remains the same.

The Phoenix Suns (21-21) play at the Brooklyn Nets (14-30) on Wednesday, airing in the Valley on Arizona's Family (Ch. 3) at 5:30 p.m. This is the final of the Suns' five-game road trip, and second of their home and away series against the Nets.

Phoenix is notably coming off of an ugly loss at the hands of the NBA-best Cleveland Cavaliers, but the silver lining is that the Nets are currently boasting a 14-29 record and that the roster largely remains healthy going into the matchup. There are only two names on the current injury report, and the names have been mainstays over the last week.

As the calendar turned toward 2025, the Los Angeles Lakers made a bold roster move, trading D'Angelo Russell to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for versatile forward Dorian Finney-Smith and sharpshooter Gabe Vincent.

Rumors of Bradley Beal potentially leaving the Phoenix Suns surfaced a couple of weeks ago, and now those whispers have grown louder. Speculation suggests he could be on his way to joining an NBA Cup championship team.

The 21-21 Suns are playing the reeling Brooklyn Nets - who will be without Cameron Johnson, D'Angelo Russell, Ben Simmons, Trendon Watford, and Ziaire Williams in this contest.
