[Saba Sports News] Bradley Beal, the Phoenix Suns guard, will be sidelined once again due to a recent ankle injury. The Suns disclosed on Monday that Beal incurred a sprained ankle in the game against the New York Knicks last Friday, following an awkward landing after a three-point attempt. His recovery is expected to take at least two weeks, with a re-evaluation not scheduled until early January.
This injury means the Suns will be missing their celebrated “Big 3” lineup for an extended time. Beal, who just returned last Tuesday from a persistent back injury that sidelined him for most of the season, has only managed to play 24 minutes this year alongside teammates Devin Booker and Kevin Durant. This limited playing time will continue into the new year.
The Suns are hopeful to integrate their key players before the playoff season, although this is uncertain given the team’s challenges this year. Despite these setbacks, which are largely beyond anyone’s control, the team’s plans have not unfolded as expected.
