Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal is questionable for the game against the Brooklyn Nets due to an ankle injury. With a 21-21 record, the Suns are concerned about backcourt depth as Beal has been a valuable contributor.

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."

Another questionable tag leaves his status unclear for Wednesday's Nets matchup.

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

The trouble with including Beal is that he has a no-trade clause. He can therefore veto any trade the Suns present him with, and despite reports to the contrary, his agent, Mark Bartelstein, told Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic that Beal has not agreed to head to any specific teams in a possible deal.

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.

Ahead of the last of a five-game road trip against the Brooklyn Nets, the Phoenix Suns are preparing to be without star guard Bradley Beal and bruising center Jusuf Nurkić.

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.
