Bradley Beal Injury News & Updates

Beal will undergo season-ending surgery on his left hip, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

This is a devastating blow for Beal and the Clippers. The official diagnosis is a fractured left hip, and an exact timetable has yet to be announced. Beal signed a two-year, $11 million deal with the Clippers prior to the season, and the second year of his deal includes a player option which he may be likely to pick up with this news. With Beal out for the season, the Clippers could lean pretty heavily on Kris Dunn. Guys like Bogdan Bogdanovic and Chris Paul could reemerge too, but they've been afterthoughts in the rotation for the most part.

Beal (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

Beal is dealing with a left hip issue and will miss his second consecutive game. The veteran guard's next opportunity to play will come Friday against the Mavericks. With Beal sidelined, John Collins, Kris Dunn and Cam Christie are candidates for an uptick in minutes.

Beal (hip) is out for Monday's game against Atlanta, Mark Medina of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

Beal was initially added to the injury report because of left hip soreness, and the team announced about 90 minutes before tipoff that he'll be sidelined for Monday's clash. John Collins will enter the starting lineup in Beal's absence. Coach Tyronn Lue noted in his pre-game presser that there is concern about this being a multi-game injury for Beal, per Joey Linn of SI.com, so his status for Wednesday is murky at best.

Beal is questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks due to left hip soreness, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Beal exited Saturday's loss to the Suns due to left hip soreness, though he was able to finish the game. If the veteran guard is ultimately ruled out for Monday's contest, Kris Dunn, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Cam Christie are candidates for increased playing time.

Beal (hip) returned to Saturday's game against the Suns at the start of the second half, per the broadcast.

Beal exited the game with 6:07 remaining in the second quarter due to left hip soreness. However, the veteran guard appears good to go for the remainder of the contest.

Beal (hip) is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Suns, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

Beal exited the game with 6:07 remaining in the second quarter due to left hip soreness. If he's unable to return during the second half, Cam Christie and Bogdan Bogdanovic are candidates for a bump in minutes the rest of the way.

Beal registered five points (2-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 20 minutes during Thursday's 115-102 loss to the Suns.

Beal was once again on a minute restriction Thursday as the team continues to keep him around the 20-minute mark. He was unable to find his rhythm on the offensive end, finishing with only five points despite chucking up 14 attempts from the field. This was a disappointing night overall for Beal, who was unable to get much going despite the absences of James Harden (personal) and Kawhi Leonard (ankle).

Beal is starting against the Rockets on Thursday but will play on a minutes' restriction, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Beal will start in the backcourt alongside Kris Dunn, and although he'll be on a minutes restriction, it hasn't been specified how long he'll be on the court for. Beal has played between 20 and 21 minutes in his four appearances this season, so it's reasonable to believe his minutes will be around that mark once again. Beal is averaging 8.0 points per game in those four contests, however, so he's not carrying a lot of fantasy upside at the moment.

Beal (rest) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Suns, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

After missing Tuesday's game against the Thunder for rest purposes, Beal will return to action. The veteran guard is currently averaging 8.0 points, 1.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, shooting 48 percent from the field and 40 percent from deep.

Beal (rest) will not play Tuesday against the Thunder, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

The Clippers are giving Beal a maintenance day related to his right knee issues. With this being the second leg of a back-to-back, Kawhi Leonard (rest) is also being held out. Kris Dunn could see a big workload Tuesday, and this could be a chance for Bogdan Bogdanovic to get back into the mix.

Coach Tyronn Lue stated after Monday's 120-119 loss to the Heat that he's not sure Beal will play in the second half of the team's back-to-back Tuesday against Oklahoma City, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports. Beal tallied 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 20 minutes.

Lue was also uncertain of Kawhi Leonard's availability for the second leg of the back-to-back, but out of the two, Beal would figure to be the candidate to play considering his light workload Monday night. However, he's already missed two games this season due to back soreness, so LA could elect to play it safe by holding him out. Another update on Beal's status should emerge closer to tipoff.

Beal (back) posted nine points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists and one rebound across 21 minutes in Friday's 126-124 win over the Pelicans.

Beal returned to action after sitting out the Clippers' previous two contests due to back soreness, but he was once again kept on a minutes restriction, just like he was in his prior two appearances this season. The 32-year-old could eventually see his playing time ramp up once he gets a few more games under his belt, but while playing alongside Kawhi Leonard, James Harden and Ivica Zubac, Beal may struggle to see enough usage to re-emerge as the consistent scoring threat that he's been during past stops with the Wizards and Suns.

Beal is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

Beal is back after a two-game absence, which will result in Bogdan Bogdanovic heading back to the second unit. Joining Beal in the starting five Friday night will be Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, Derrick Jones and Ivica Zubac.

Beal (back) will play Friday against the Pelicans, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Beal is set to return after a two-game stint on the sidelines, which will likely result in Bogdan Bogdanovic returning to the second unit and Cam Christie could drop from the rotation entirely. Beal has gotten off to a slow start this season, averaging 5.5 points, 1.0 rebound and 1.0 assist per game.

Beal (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.

Beal will sit out a second consecutive game while managing back soreness. Bogdan Bogdanovic is likely to remain in the starting lineup in his place, with Kris Dunn in line to see extended minutes off the bench. The three-time All-Star's next opportunity to play will come Friday against the Pelicans.

Beal (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

Beal will miss his first game of the season due to lower back soreness. Bogdan Bogdanovic will draw the start and Kris Dunn could also see an uptick in minutes without Beal.

Beal (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against Portland, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Beal is dealing with soreness in his lower back and is in jeopardy of missing his first game this season. If the veteran shooting guard is ultimately ruled out, Kris Dunn, Cam Christie and Bogdan Bogdanovic are candidates for increased minutes.

Beal will have a minutes restriction during Wednesday's season opener against the Jazz, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

Despite not dealing with any injury issues, the team is going with a cautious approach with Beal heading into the 2025-26 campaign. Head coach Tyronn Lue wouldn't give an exact number, but the veteran guard's minutes will be capped.

Beal compiled 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot over 15 minutes in Friday's 106-103 preseason win over the Warriors.

Beal is projected to line up alongside James Harden in the Clippers' backcourt this season, and the team is hoping that the veteran can bring some of the dynamic play he displayed during his tenure with the Wizards. His two-year stint with the Suns was a rough patch, as injuries limited him to 91 games over two seasons. Unlike his final year with the Suns, he'll run with the first unit immediately and could make a substantial fantasy impact if he can stay healthy.

Beal will start in Friday's exhibition with the Warriors, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

Beal will be making his Clippers' preseason debut Friday night, and with Kawhi Leonard (rest) and James Harden (rest) sitting this one out, he could see a lot of shots falling his way. If Beal can just manage to stay healthy this season, he should be a reliable source of points, triples and dimes as one of the main guys in Los Angeles.

Beal (knee) will make his preseason debut Friday against the Warriors, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.

This will be Beal's first appearance with the Clippers. His preseason was interrupted by a minor knee issue, but it was never expected to linger into the regular season. For now, there's no mention of any restrictions, but it's likely the Clippers ease him back.

Beal (knee) said Thursday that he's unsure if he will play in Friday's preseason finale against the Warriors, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Beal said the decision will be up to the coaching staff. The guard continues to work his way back from a knee issue and has missed the entire preseason so far, but Beal said he's hopeful of being ready in time for Opening Night.

Beal (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason game against the Kings, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Beal continues to work his way back from a knee issue. The last opportunity for him to get some time on the floor during the preseason will be Friday against the Warriors.

Beal (knee) has a chance to play in Friday's preseason game against the Warriors, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Beal has been nursing a knee issue of late, but head coach Tyronn Lue stated Beal is trending in the right direction and the team thinks he could play in Friday's preseason game against the Warriors if he continues to progress as he has. Beal is expected to start at shooting guard come the regular season, so it could be beneficial for him to get some run with his new team before opening night.

Beal (knee) scrimmaged with the team Monday and expects to be healthy for the start of the regular season, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

It doesn't sound like there's any urgency for Beal to play during Los Angeles' preseason, which begins Friday, but his participation in Monday's session is encouraging. Given that the veteran guard could be restricted from exhibition action, the likes of Cam Christie, Trentyn Flowers and Jordan Miller could see extended run during the preseason.

Beal (knee) didn't participate in five-on-five scrimmages Saturday, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Beal is still unable to practice in scrimmages, as he continues to nurse a knee issue. The veteran guard was expected to be limited during training camp, and he still has time to get his body right before the team plays its preseason opener against the Nuggets on Oct. 12.

Beal (knee) didn't participate in Thursday's team scrimmage work, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

This update isn't a huge surprise considering the team recently announced Beal would be limited to begin training camp. However, it certainly would be nice to see him get in on some 5-on-5 action sooner rather than later. It's currently unclear whether Beal will be available for the Clippers' first preseason game Oct. 9.

Beal (knee) will be the Clippers starting shooting guard, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

As expected, Beal will start in the backcourt alongside James Harden. The forward positions aren't exactly clear, though, as coach Tyronn Lue told reporters he "can't remember" if John Collins will start. Beal is limited to begin training camp due to a knee scope from May.

Clippers president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank said Monday that Beal (knee) will be a limited participant to start training camp, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Frank shared that Beal underwent a knee scope in May and will likely be eased into camp with his workload monitored, though he didn't express concern about his regular-season availability. The veteran guard signed a two-year deal with the Clippers this offseason after being waived by the Suns. He averaged 17.0 points, 3.7 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 53 regular-season appearances last year.

Beal and the Suns agreed to a contract buyout Wednesday, setting the guard up to join the Clippers, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

Once Beal's buyout is completed, he will be joining the Clippers on a two-year deal worth $11 million. That contract will include a player option for the second season, Charania adds. The Clippers were always believed to be the favorites to land Beal, and he'll give the team a scoring punch on the wings to fill the void left by Norman Powell. Beal may not have a high usage rate, however, as James Harden is the primary playmaker and the bulk of the offense runs through Kawhi Leonard.

The Suns are negotiating a possible buyout with Beal, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal has two years and $110 million left on his contract, but the Suns are open to ending that deal, and that move would make the veteran guard a free agent. Beal should generate heavy interest if he were to hit the open market, as he'd be free to sign any team he chooses -- and for any salary. Beal was limited to only 53 regular-season appearances (38 starts) in 2024-25, averaging 17.0 points, 3.7 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game. That was his worst scoring output since the 2014-15 campaign.

Beal is out for Sunday's game against the Kings due to rest.

The final game of the season for the Suns won't have any of the members of their Big Three, as Devin Booker (calf) and Kevin Durant (ankle) are also out for this contest. Beal had a rough season in 2024-25 and there's already talk of him leaving the franchise in the offseason. He was limited to only 38 starts and 53 appearances, averaging 17.0 points, 3.7 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game. That was his worst scoring output since the 2014-15 campaign.

Beal racked up 21 points (8-13 FG, 5-9 3Pt), four rebounds and six assists over 28 minutes during Friday's 117-98 win over the Spurs.

Beal delivered in the decisive win, and the chances of Beal's return next year are likely due to his no-trade clause. The Suns are carrying a lot of cash with their star-studded lineup, and some heads are bound to roll after the dramatic eight-game skid that dashed the team's playoff hopes. Only time will tell if Beal elects to find another suitor, but injury issues harm his value.

Beal supplied 25 points (8-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 125-112 loss to the Thunder.

Although Beal did his best to turn the tide, the Suns were eliminated from playoff contention with their eight consecutive loss. Beal's season has been a mixed bag after appearing in only 52 games, and he's currently logging the second-worst seasonal scoring average of his 13-year career. Someone will have to answer for this disappointing result, and while coach Mike Budenholzer might lose his job, players like Beal could also be on the move.

Beal closed with 16 points (8-19 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists, two blocks and four steals in 34 minutes during Sunday's 112-98 loss to New York.

Devin Booker carried the Suns on offense, and while the Suns need Beal to be at his best, the veteran guard struggled once again and delivered a subpar showing. Not only was Beal disappointing from an efficiency perspective, as he needed 19 shots to score 16 points, but he also failed to make a meaningful impact in other categories. It's only been two games since Beal's return to action, but the early numbers aren't encouraging. In those two games, he's gone 8-for-26 from the field, 0-for-8 from three-point range and has posted a 7:2 assist-to-turnover rate.

Beal (hamstring) finished with one point (0-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists, four rebounds, three steals and one block across 30 minutes Friday in the Suns' 123-103 loss to the Celtics.

Cleared to play after missing the last eight games due to a left hamstring strain, Beal took back a spot in the starting five and wasn't under any obvious restrictions, as he finished third on the Suns in playing time behind Devin Booker (38 minutes) and Oso Ighodaro (32 minutes). Though Beal came through with some unusually strong contributions in the defensive categories, he didn't provide much support for Booker, as he failed to make a shot while finishing a team-worst minus-23 during his time on the court. Better days are ahead for Beal, but some inconsistency in his performance should be expected over the next few games as he settles back in following the injury.

Beal (hamstring) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Celtics, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

After an eight-game absence due to a hamstring injury, Beal will be back in the lineup for the Suns on Friday to take on the defending NBA champions. The veteran guard is averaging 17.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.0 steals per game, shooting 50.5 percent from the floor and 39.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Beal (hamstring) hopes to return to the floor for Phoenix during the team's current road trip, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal has missed the last eight games for the Suns after suffering a hamstring injury against the Lakers on March 16. In 48 games this season, the veteran guard has averaged 17.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.0 steals per game, shooting 50.5 percent from the field and 39.5 percent from deep.

Beal (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Bucks, https://x.com/JustinGarciaNBA/status/1907191979836129727 reports.

Beal will miss his eighth straight game due to a strained left hamstring, and his next chance to play will come Friday against Boston. The veteran guard was recently cleared to participate in 5-on-5 drills, and he was active during the club's morning shootaround, which suggests that he could be nearing a return to game action.

Beal, who's listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks, was active during morning shootaround, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal has missed the last seven games due to a hamstring injury, but seems to be trending in the right direction toward making his return. Having lost their last three games, the Suns hope the three-time All-Star can help ignite a spark as they fight for a playoff spot. Upon Beal's return, Collin Gillespie is likely to see a decrease in minutes.

Beal (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Bucks.

Beal has missed the club's last seven outings due to a strained left hamstring, though he was recently cleared to participate in 5-on-5 drills and is seemingly nearing a return to game action. If the veteran shooting guard remains on the shelf Tuesday, Collin Gillespie will likely continue to receive a bump in minutes.

Head coach Mike Budenholzer said Sunday that Beal (hamstring) has progressed to 5-on-5 work, though there still isn't a clear timetable for his return to game action, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal is slated to miss his seventh consecutive contest against the Rockets on Sunday due to a strained left hamstring. The veteran guard's progression to 5-on-5 work bodes well for his eventual return this season, and his next chance to play will come Tuesday against Milwaukee. Collin Gillespie will likely continue to receive an uptick in playing time due to Beal being sidelined.

Beal (hamstring) will not play Sunday against the Rockets.

Beal will miss his seventh game in a row Sunday, with his next chance to play coming Tuesday against the Bucks. There have been some positive reports regarding his injury rehab in recent days, but in the meantime, the Suns will continue to lean on Collin Gillespie.

Beal (hamstring) is out for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.

Beal will miss a sixth straight game as he recovers from a left hamstring strain. His next chance to play will come against the Rockets on Sunday, and in the meantime, expect Ryan Dunn and Tyus Jones to soak up most of the minutes available in the backcourt.

Beal (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal will miss a fifth straight game for the Suns on Wednesday, as he continues to nurse a strained left hamstring. With Beal still on the mend, Phoenix will likely turn to Ryan Dunn and Tyus Jones to pick up the slack.

Beal (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in one week, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal had already been downgraded to out for Monday's matchup against the Raptors, and this update effectively rules Beal out for two additional games. Ryan Dunn and Tyus Jones will presumably be asked to pick up slack until Beal is cleared to return to the hardwood.

Beal (hamstring) will not play Monday against the Raptors.

After leaving Sunday's game against the Lakers early due to left hamstring tightness, Beal is listed as out due to a hamstring strain. Knowing that, fantasy managers should be concerned about the possibility of additional missed games for Beal. Grayson Allen (foot) is also out Monday, so there could be more minutes available for guys like Tyus Jones, Collin Gillespie, Royce O'Neale, Ryan Dunn and Cody Martin.

Beal won't return to Sunday's game against the Lakers due to left hamstring tightness, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Beal has been ruled out for the remainder of the game, and he'll finish with four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two rebounds across 15 minutes. Royce O'Neale and Collin Gillespie will likely see a bump in minutes the rest of the way.

Beal isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Rockets.

Beal will return to action Wednesday after missing Phoenix's previous contest due to a left calf injury. The 31-year-old guard is averaging 19.6 minutes, 5.1 assists and 4.2 rebounds in 34.0 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Beal (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Beal posted 19 points (7-10 FG), six assists and three rebounds in 29 minutes during Sunday's win in Dallas, but he'll be sidelined for the second half of Phoenix's back-to-back set. In his absence, Royce O'Neale, Grayson Allen and Tyus Jones are candidates for increased roles.

Beal (calf) is available for Friday's game versus the Nuggets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite dealing with left calf soreness. The star guard was also upgraded to available in Phoenix's previous outing before exiting after 15 minutes, so it is worth monitoring to see if Beal is able to play the entire contest.

Beal (calf) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets.

Beal played only 15 minutes in Tuesday's game against the Clippers due to left calf soreness, but he might be able to play Friday in Denver. The veteran guard is averaging 17.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game, shooting 50.2 percent from the floor and 40.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Beal (calf) fully participated in Thursday's practice, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Beal was forced to exit Tuesday's game versus the Clippers early due to left calf soreness. While Beal's participation in practice is a good sign of his availability against Denver on Friday, fantasy managers should look out for an official injury report to clarify his status.

Beal is out for the remainder of Tuesday's game versus the Clippers due to left calf soreness, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports. He will finish the contest with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 15 minutes.

Beal was unable to score before being forced to leave Tuesday's contest due to a lingering calf issue. Tyus Jones started the second half in his absence. Beal's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Denver.

Beal (calf) is listed as available for Tuesday's game versus the Clippers.

Beal has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a nagging calf issue. Beal is scorching the nets from beyond the arc as of late, converting 47.5 percent of his 4.0 three-point attempts per contest across his last 10 outings.

Beal is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers due to left calf injury management, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Beal returned Sunday from a two-game absence due to a lingering calf injury, and he finished with 18 points, four rebounds and three assists in a loss to the Timberwolves. Grayson Allen and Tyus Jones would be in line to enter the Suns' starting lineup if Beal is not cleared to play Tuesday.

Beal produced 18 points (8-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Sunday's 116-98 loss to the Timberwolves.

The Suns' Big Three of Beal, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker all had solid nights, but Tyus Jones with 10 points was the only other Phoenix player to score in double digits. Beal missed the prior two games with a calf issue, but otherwise his return to the starting five has gone without a hitch. He's gotten the start in four straight appearances, averaging 24.3 points, 4.8 boards, 4.8 assists, 2.5 threes and 1.0 steals while shooting 56.5 percent from the floor and 50.0 percent from beyond the arc.

Beal (calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Beal will return to action after missing the last two games due to left calf soreness. Over his last four appearances, Beal holds averages of 24.5 points, 6.0 rebounds and 5.5 assists in 38.8 minutes per contest.

Beal (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Beal missed the entire back-to-back set against the Pelicans due to this calf injury, and the questionable tag suggests a decision on his status will be made closer to Sunday's 9:30 p.m. ET tipoff. Beal, who's aiming to return from a two-game absence, is averaging 23.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game across six outings since the beginning of February.

Beal (calf) will not play in Friday's game against the Pelicans.

Beal will officially miss both games of the back-to-back versus New Orleans. With Grayson Allen (foot) also doubtful to play, Tyus Jones and Royce O'Neale will likely see extended playing time Friday.

Beal (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Pelicans, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Beal was added to the injury report earlier in the day due to a left calf issue, and the team has since downgraded him to out. Grayson Allen and Ryan Dunn are candidates to start in Beal's place Thursday evening.

Beal (calf) has been downgraded to questionable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.

Beal has been in a groove lately, starting the last three games for the Suns. The veteran guard is coming off a double-double in Tuesday's loss to the Grizzlies, scoring 24 points and dishing out 11 assists to go along with five rebounds, two steals and one block. However, he might not be able to play Thursday after unexpectedly being downgraded to questionable with left calf tightness, which could pave the way for more time for Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale if he's ruled out for the first game of a back-to-back against New Orleans.

Beal finished with 24 points (9-20 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, 11 assists, one block and two steals across 43 minutes during Tuesday's 151-148 overtime loss to the Grizzlies.

Despite a strong showing from Beal, the Suns picked up their sixth loss out of their last seven games. Beal has started the last three games and is trending up, averaging 26.3 points, 5.3 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.7 three-pointers on 57.4 percent shooting from the field.

Beal ended Sunday's 127-109 loss to the Raptors with 30 points (12-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 41 minutes.

Aside from leading the Suns in scoring with his first 30-point game of the season, Beal was remarkably efficient and missed just three of his 15 shots from the floor. He has started in the Suns' last two games, and while the Suns have gone 1-1 in that span, Beal's performances and numbers could suggest he might remain in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future, as he brings far more offense to the table than Tyus Jones.

Beal finished Saturday's 121-117 win over the Bulls with 25 points (10-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals over 38 minutes.

In his first start since Jan. 4, Beal finished as the Suns' third-leading scorer behind Devin Booker (29) and Kevin Durant (27). Beal's third and final triple came with just 13.1 seconds left in the final frame, which put the game out of reach for Chicago. It's unclear whether his insertion into the starting lineup is a permanent move, but fantasy managers will find out Sunday against the Raptors.

Beal is in the Suns' starting lineup against the Bulls on Saturday.

Beal was moved to a reserve role in early January, but he'll return to the starting lineup Saturday while Tyus Jones comes off the bench. Beal has averaged 17.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.2 steals over 33.2 minutes per game as a starter this season.

Beal totaled 19 points (8-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds and six assists in 33 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 120-109 loss to the Spurs.

The veteran guard missed the final four games before the All-Star break due to a toe injury, but Beal looked fit in his return to the court, tying his season high in boards as he just missed recording his first double-double of 2024-25. Beal seems to have adjusted to his bench role, scoring in double digits in six straight appearances while averaging 20.0 points, 4.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds, 1.5 threes and 1.0 steals and shooting a blistering 58.3 percent from the floor, 45.0 percent from beyond the arc and 93.1 percent from the charity stripe in 29.5 minutes a contest.

Beal (toe) is not listed on the injury report and will be available for Thursday's game against the Spurs.

Beal missed each of the Suns' previous four games before the All-Star break, but the veteran scorer used the time off to recover, and he'll be available for this clash against San Antonio. Beal has played off the bench in each of his last 14 appearances, averaging 16.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steals per contest in that span.

Beal (toe), who won't play in Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, is also out for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

It rules Beal out with a toe injury through the All-Star break. The veteran guard's next opportunity to take the floor for the Suns comes Feb. 20 against the Spurs, offering him plenty of time to recover. With Beal sidelined for Phoenix's next two contests, Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale should continue soaking up additional minutes in the rotation.

Beal (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Beal will miss a third straight game due to left toe soreness. His next opportunity to suit up will be Wednesday against the Rockets, which is the Sun's last game before the All-Star break, so Phoenix may play it conservatively with Beal and have him sit out of both games of the back-to-back set. The good news for the Suns is that Kevin Durant will play Tuesday following a three-game absence due to a left ankle sprain, and his return should help to alleviate some pressure off Devin Booker on the offensive side of the floor.

Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer said that Beal (toe) didn't participate in Monday's practice, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Beal has missed the Suns' last two games due to left big toe soreness, and his absence from practice doesn't inspire much confidence that he'll be back in action Tuesday versus the Grizzlies. Meanwhile, Kevin Durant (ankle) was a full participant in Monday's practice and seems to be trending toward a return from a three-game absence Tuesday, so star guard Devin Booker should be in line to get more offensive support. If Beal ends up sitting out against Memphis, the Suns could use a committee of Grayson Allen (knee), Tyus Jones, Royce O'Neale and Monte Morris to cover his vacated minutes.

Beal (toe) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Beal will miss a second straight game Saturday while dealing with toe soreness on his left foot. The veteran guard has been playing well in his new role off the bench, but the Suns will have to turn to Ryan Dunn and Royce O'Neale to pick up the slack with Kevin Durant (ankle) also ruled out for this game against Denver.

Beal (toe) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Nuggets.

Beal is in danger of missing his second straight outing Saturday due to a sore left great toe. With Kevin Durant (ankle) and Grayson Allen (knee) also questionable, Ryan Dunn and Royce O'Neale could receive increased playing time against Denver.

Beal (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Jazz, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Beal will miss his first game since Jan. 22 as he deals with left toe soreness. The veteran guard is coming off two impressive performances, scoring 25 points in back-to-back games. However, the Suns will have to look elsewhere for the scoring punch off the bench, so they'll likely turn to Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale to shoulder the load for Phoenix.

Beal (toe) is questionable to play Friday against the Jazz.

Beal strung together back-to-back 25 point performances in his last two games, and he looks to keep his momentum rolling Friday against Utah if he is cleared to play. If he is unable to go, however, Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale would see extended playing time as a result. Beal's next opportunity would be Saturday versus the Nuggets.

Beal produced 25 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 10-10 FT), three rebounds and six assists across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 140-109 loss to Oklahoma City.

Beal led the Suns with 25 points in Wednesday's rout, matching his scoring output from Monday's loss to Portland. Beal has averaged 16.6 points, 4.0 assists, 2.9 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.7 threes in 30.7 minutes across 14 games off Phoenix's bench this season, shooting 42.1 percent from downtown during this period. The veteran guard hasn't seen a noticeable drop in fantasy value since moving to the second unit.

Beal produced 25 points (8-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals in 38 minutes during Monday's 121-119 overtime loss to the Trail Blazers.

It appears that Beal will emerge fie firestorm of the trade deadline unscathed, although his name was mentioned often as a trade piece in previous months. The Suns' quizzical use of Tyus Jones and Ryan Dunn leave enough intrigue to make one wonder about Phoenix's intentions at the deadline, but it would be a surprise to see Beal go elsewhere at this point.

Beal accumulated 13 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and three assists across 24 minutes during Saturday's 127-108 loss to the Trail Blazers.

The veteran swingman led the Suns' second unit in scoring, and he was the third member of the team to reach double figures behind Devin Booker (37 points) and Kevin Durant (22 points). Beal has provided a spark off the bench in his last 12 outings, during which he has averaged 15.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.7 threes on 52.3/42.6/79.4 shooting splits across 30.2 minutes per contest.

Beal racked up 20 points (6-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Saturday's 119-109 victory over the Wizards.

Beal had a solid shooting night despite his lingering ankle injury. With most of the league taking a night off Sunday, Beal will have more time to rest the ankle, which has forced the veteran to miss three of his last five games. He was able to play 39 minutes against the Wizards, which indicates that he's on the right side of his recovery.

Beal (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Wizards, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.

A left ankle sprain has kept Beal off the floor for three of the Suns' last four games, but the veteran guard has been cleared to play Saturday. He's averaging 14.7 points, 4.0 assists and 3.1 rebounds over 30.4 minutes per game since being moved to the bench Jan. 6.

Beal (ankle) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Wizards, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Beal has missed three of the Suns' last four games due to a left ankle sprain. He was able to participate in Friday's practice, and barring any setbacks he should be able to suit up for Saturday's contest. Beal has averaged 14.7 points, 4.0 assists and 3.1 rebounds over 30.4 minutes per game since moving from the starting lineup to the bench Jan. 6.

Head coach Mike Budenholzer said that Beal (ankle) was active during Friday's practice and the club is hopeful he'll play Saturday against Washington, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Beal will look to return to game action against his former squad after missing Wednesday's win over Brooklyn due to a left ankle sprain. The veteran swingman has missed three of the club's last four outings, and over his last five appearances off the bench, Beal has averaged 13.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 30.4 minutes per contest.

Beal (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Beal will not be available for the Suns for Wednesday's matchup in Brooklyn. The veteran guard missed two games before returning on Monday against the Cavaliers but finished with only five points, three rebounds and four assists in 25 minutes off the bench for Phoenix. Ryan Dunn, Royce O'Neale and Grayson Allen could see more time on the floor against the Nets in his absence.

Beal (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

After logging 25 minutes off the bench in Monday's loss to the Cavaliers, Beal is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Nets. The veteran guard had a solid start in his new role but has struggled lately, coming off a forgettable five-point performance against Cleveland.

Beal ended Monday's 118-92 loss to the Cavaliers with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and four assists across 25 minutes.

Beal returned Monday after being absent the last two games with an ankle injury, contributing off the bench while leading all Suns second unit players in assists to go along with a handful of points. Beal failed to reach double figures in scoring for just the fourth time this season, his first while coming off the bench. Expect Beal's production to continue to improve as he gets back into the swing of things and gets fully healthy.

Beal (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal has the green light to return from a two-game absence and will reprise his role off the bench. There's also no word of any restrictions. The veteran guard has been quiet over his last eight appearances, averaging 13.6 points, 3.6 assists and 2.9 rebounds.

Beal (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

Beal was unable to play in the past two games for the Suns, but he was spotted getting some shots up at Sunday's practice and appears to be trending in the right direction. Guys like Ryan Dunn, Royce O'Neale and Grayson Allen could lose a bit of upside if Beal is able to give it a go.

Beal (ankle) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Pistons.

Beal will miss his second straight contest Saturday after being downgraded from doubtful to out due to a left ankle sprain. Beal's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Cleveland.

Beal (ankle) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Since picking up an ankle sprain Tuesday, Beal will likely miss his second game in a row Saturday. Ryan Dunn is coming off a strong showing versus the Wizards on Thursday, and he could soak up additional minutes Saturday along with Royce O'Neale and Grayson Allen.

Beal (ankle) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Wizards.

Beal has been downgraded from doubtful to out Thursday due to a sprained left ankle. Grayson Allen, Ryan Dunn and Royce O'Neale are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Beal's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Detroit.

Beal (ankle) has been listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Wizards.

Beal suffered an ankle sprain in Tuesday's loss to the Hawks and now could miss Thursday's game in Washington. The Suns may be treading lightly with the veteran guard, considering his injury history and the team having another game Saturday on the road against the Pistons. If Beal doesn't play, Grayson Allen and Ryan Dunn could see more time on the floor for Phoenix.

Beal briefly exited Tuesday's game against the Hawks due to an apparent ankle injury and checked back in with 1:41 remaining in the third, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal walked gingerly back to the locker room before quickly returning to the bench and eventually re-entering the game. The veteran swingman will likely be able to shoulder his normal workload the rest of the way, though the ankle could be something to monitor ahead of Thursday's game against Washington.

Beal contributed 25 points (11-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals in 33 minutes during Thursday's 123-115 win over Atlanta.

Beal found himself with the second unit for the third consecutive game. The veteran's demotion is confusing, as Ryan Dunn isn't playing well enough to fend off competition for the role. The underlying cause could stem from rumors of tension in Phoenix's locker room and speculation about a potential trade on the horizon. Those who depend on Beal for production will need to monitor the situation as the trade deadline approaches.

Beal finished with 10 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and five assists in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 115-104 loss to Charlotte.

Beal struggled shooting the ball from the field in Tuesday's contest, but still came off the bench and lead all Suns second unit players in scoring and assists while finishing as one of three players with a double-digit point total. Beal has failed to score more than 10 points in just five outings this season, doing so in three of the last four contests.

Beal racked up 25 points (10-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes off the bench during Monday's 109-99 victory over the 76ers.

The struggling Suns had lost seven of eight coming into Monday, so coach Mike Budenholzer shook things up by dropping Beal and Jusuf Nurkic to the second unit in favor of Ryan Dunn and Mason Plumlee. The move worked, at least for one night, as Beal led the team in scoring in his first bench assignment since the 2015-16 season. The 31-year-old wing has dealt with knee and hip issues in recent weeks, and the minor injuries have led to inconsistent production. Beal has scored more than 20 points five times in his last nine appearances, but he's also scored in single digits twice, averaging 18.6 points, 3.0 assists, 2.8 boards, 2.6 threes, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks over that stretch.

Beal is expected to shift to a bench role Monday against the 76ers, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.

The Suns will reportedly look to change up their starting five, with Beal taking the backseat to rookie Ryan Dunn. Beal, who has been dealing with a hip injury of late, has seen a dip in production, averaging 12.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists on just 35.6 percent from the floor over his last four appearances. This would mark Beal's first game in a bench role since the 2015-16 season.

Beal (hip) has been upgraded to available for Saturday's game against the Pacers.

The Suns get some good news ahead of Saturday's clash against the Pacers, with Beal being cleared to play. He's averaging 18.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.2 steals per game, shooting 48.9 percent from the floor and 38.6 percent from beyond the arc.

Beal (hip) participated in shootaround ahead of Saturday's game versus the Pacers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's contest due to a left hip contusion. However, the veteran guard's participation in shootaround is a good sign of his availability against Indiana.

Beal (hip) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Beal sustained the left hip contusion during Tuesday's loss to Memphis, and he was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. If the star swingman is sidelined, Ryan Dunn and Monte Morris are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Beal (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal left Tuesday's game versus the Grizzlies early due to a left hip contusion. While Phoenix has yet to release an official injury report for Saturday's matchup with Indiana, it appears that Beal has avoided a significant injury.

Beal has been ruled out for the remainder of Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies due to a left hip contusion, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports. He recorded three points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 12 minutes before exiting.

Beal evidently suffered the injury at some point during the first half and will be shut down for the evening. Ryan Dunn and Josh Okogie are next in line for opportunities with both Royce O'Neale (ankle) and Grayson Allen (shoulder) also out.

Beal supplied 27 points (11-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and four steals across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 110-100 win over the Nuggets.

Beal has been on a tear of late and surpassed the 20-point mark for a third consecutive game Wednesday while ending just one point shy of tying his season-best scoring output. What's even more impressive is the fact that Beal has been shooting the ball at an extremely high clip of late. The veteran guard is averaging 22.0 points per game while making 57.0 percent of his shots, including 53.8 percent of his threes, over his last five outings.

Beal amassed 23 points (9-17 FG, 5-7 3Pt), two assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Monday's 117-90 loss to the Nuggets.

Beal was excellent from three-point range and drained a season-high five threes in this loss, but his efforts were not enough as the Suns lost by 27 points to the Nuggets. Beal has been stepping up on offense of late and should remain as the Suns' No. 2 option behind Kevin Durant while Devin Booker (groin) is sidelined, so it's safe to say a slight uptick in his volume, as well as his usage rate, can be expected as long as Booker remains out.

Beal closed Saturday's 133-125 loss to the Pistons with 26 points (11-20 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and five assists across 38 minutes.

Beal's 26 points marked his second-best scoring total of the season, and the first time he's surpassed 20 points since reaching the threshold six weeks ago. Beal has already missed 10 games this season, but he's averaging 36.5 minutes over two games following his most recent absence, which is a strong indication that the 13th-year pro is back to full health.

Beal (knee) tallied 16 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one block across 31 minutes in Thursday's 120-111 loss to the Pacers.

Though he wasn't operating under much of a minute restriction in his return from a two-game absence due to right knee swelling, Beal took on a modest 17.8 percent usage rate Thursday. He could be primed to see an uptick in his scoring and playmaking opportunities in the Suns' next game Saturday versus the Pistons, however. Devin Booker was unable to finish Thursday's contest due to a groin injury and could miss time, which would put Beal in line to handle a heightened role out of the backcourt.

Beal (knee) is available for Thursday's game versus the Pacers.

Beal has been upgraded from probable to available Thursday after missing Phoenix's last two contests due to right knee swelling. The 31-year-old guard should reclaim his starting spot from Royce O'Neale. Beal is averaging 18.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 32.3 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Beal (knee) is probable for Thursday's game against the Pacers, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Beal has been dealing with right knee swelling, but the probable tag suggests he has a good shot at playing Thursday. The veteran guard went through practice Wednesday and was a full participant, so barring any setbacks, Beal should be ready to face the Pacers. Beal has missed the Suns' last two games due to the injury.

Beal (knee) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

After missing the past two games for the Suns, Beal appears to be on track to return against the Pacers on Thursday. In addition to doing everything at practice, he also stayed on the floor after to get some extra shots up. Royce O'Neale and Josh Okogie could see fewer minutes if Beal gets the green light to return.

Beal (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Beal will miss a second consecutive game due to swelling in his knee. Royce O'Neale and Josh Okogie figure to see increased roles in Beal's absence. The 13th-year pro's next chance to suit up is Thursday against the Pacers.

Beal (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal missed Friday's 134-126 win over the Jazz after experiencing swelling on his knee, and the questionable tag suggests a decision on his status will be made closer to Sunday's 8 p.m. ET tipoff. If Beal is unable to suit up, then Royce O'Neale would probably remain in the starting lineup at one of the forward spots alongside Kevin Durant. Beal is averaging 16.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steals per game in four appearances in December.

Beal (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Jazz, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.

Beal's swelling started between Thursday and Friday morning, according to head coach Mike Budenholzer per Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic, and it seems the Suns have elected to be cautious with their star guard. Beal's next chance to play will come against the Trail Blazers on Sunday, though that'll depend on whether the swelling has reduced or not.

Beal has been added to the injury report ahead of Friday's game versus the Jazz in Utah due to right knee swelling, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Beal has played in six of the Suns' previous seven games, including four straight, but that streak is now up in the air. Final confirmation on his status will presumably depend on how his knee is feeling after it gets tested out in pregame warmups. Should he ultimately sit out, Royce O'Neale and Josh Okogie are candidates for increased minutes.

Beal amassed 18 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 35 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 115-110 loss to the Magic.

It was a strong effort out of Beal, who has now scored at least 15 points in seven of his last eight games. In five appearances with Kevin Durant (ankle) unavailable this season, Beal is now averaging 21.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers per contest. Beal should continue to have more ball-handling responsibilities on his plate while Durant remains sidelined, and the 31-year-old star guard has a favorable matchup Friday against a Jazz club that ranks 28th in the league in defensive efficiency rating (117.9).

Beal (calf) has been upgraded to available for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.

This was an expected update after Beal was listed probable on the initial injury report. Beal was sidelined for Saturday's game against the Warriors with the Suns maintaining a cautious approach, and it will be interesting to see if his restrictions are eased after seeing 27 minutes in each of his last two appearances.

Beal (calf) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.

Beal was sidelined for Saturday's win over the Warriors and has missed six of the Suns' last eight games due to a lingering calf injury, but he's expected to be available Tuesday. If available, he'll likely start but face some restrictions. Beal played exactly 27 minutes in each of his last two appearances, totaling 40 points, five rebounds, two assists and a block.

Coach Mike Budenholzer said Beal looked "really good" in the parts of Monday's practice he participated in, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal wasn't able to do everything at Monday's practice, but it appears he could be back in the lineup before long -- his official status for Tuesday's game against the Spurs should be released Monday night. Beal was sidelined for Saturday's win over the Warriors and has missed six of the Suns' last eight games due to a lingering calf injury. If he remains sidelined, Grayson Allen is a candidate for increased opportunities.

Beal (calf) is out for Saturday's game against the Warriors, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

The Suns will be extremely shorthanded for this matchup against the Warriors since they'll miss two starters in Beal and Jusuf Nurkic (ankle). Ryan Dunn could be an option to replace Beal in the starting lineup, whereas Beal's next chance to play will come against the Spurs on Tuesday.

Beal (calf) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Per Rankin, head coach Mike Budenholzer said Friday that Beal is probable for Saturday's game, though it appears the veteran shooting guard isn't a lock to play. If Beal is unable to suit up, Ryan Dunn would be the top candidate to re-enter the Suns' starting lineup.

Beal (calf) is probable for Saturday's game versus the Warriors, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Despite continuing to deal with a calf injury, Beal is expected to play through it Saturday. The star guard was able to go through a non-contact practice Friday and has logged minutes in each of his last two appearances.

Beal (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal will suit up for the second leg of this back-to-back set after Tuesday's 127-100 win over the Lakers, where he posted 23 points, two rebounds, two assists and a block across 27 minutes. Beal should handle his regular workload in the backfield while being part of the Suns' three-headed monster on offense alongside Kevin Durant and Devin Booker.

Beal is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Beal and Kevin Durant (calf/rest) both returned from multi-game absences Tuesday and played well as the Suns beat the Lakers by 27 points. Durant is expected to play in the second half of Phoenix's back-to-back set, but Beal's availability is up in the air. If Beal doesn't play, Ryan Dunn and Royce O'Neale would be candidates for increased roles again.

Beal totaled 23 points (10-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one block across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 127-100 win over the Lakers.

Beal and Kevin Durant both returned to the starting lineup and rejuvenated the struggling Suns. With the first unit fully restored, the Suns will get back on track and continue to get excellent production from Beal, who saw increased success at the wing prior to his injury. The Suns are satisfied with Tyus Jones and Devin Booker in the backcourt, although Beal will occasionally occupy a backcourt role as game flow dictates.

Beal (calf) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Lakers.

Beal has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday after missing Phoenix's last five contests due to a strained left calf. However, the star guard will operate on a minutes restriction, per Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com.

Beal (calf) plans to play in Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Beal and Kevin Durant (calf) have been targeting Tuesday's game as a realistic return date, and that plan remains on track after they participated in 5-on-5 scrimmages during Sunday's practice. Beal's official status hasn't been released yet, but he's expected to play Tuesday even if he gets a questionable designation.

Coach Mike Budenholzer said Sunday that Beal (calf) went through practice and did quite a bit of scrimmaging ahead of Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Both Kevin Durant (calf) and Beal have been slowly working their way back to playing form, and both of the superstars are on track for a return to game action Tuesday. The 31-year-old guard has missed the club's last five games due to a left calf strain, though he has been actively participating in 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 action during practice. If Beal is unable to suit up against the Lakers, Ryan Dunn should draw another start.

Coach Mike Budenholzer said Friday that Beal (calf) was a full participant in practice on-court and played 3-on-3, the club will aim to move him to 5-on-5 action Sunday with the hope he is ready for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

The Suns are off until Tuesday which gives the club time to work Beal back after a five-game absence due to a left calf strain. The veteran star's progression to 3-on-3 work bodes well for his potential return to game action, and if he can go through 5-on-5 action without any issues Sunday he'll have a good shot at coming back Tuesday.

Beal (calf) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Knicks.

Beal will miss his fifth consecutive contest Wednesday due to a strained left calf. The star guard's next chance to suit up is against the Lakers on Nov. 26.

Coach Mike Budenholzer said Beal (calf), who's already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, will remain sidelined for Monday's game versus Orlando, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal has already missed two games and will remain sidelined for the Suns' upcoming back-to-back set. With Kevin Durant (calf) also sidelined, Josh Okogie and Ryan Runn should continue to start, while Royce O'Neale, Oso Oghodaro and Monte Morris handle increased roles off the bench.

Beal (calf) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal's absence streak will extend to three games Sunday due to a strained left calf. Josh Okogie and Royce O'Neale should continue to receive increased playing time in his absence. Beal's next chance to suit up is Monday's game versus the Magic.

Beal (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Thunder.

Beal will miss his second consecutive contest due to a left calf strain, though the injury likely won't result in a long-term absence. With the star shooting guard out and Grayson Allen (hamstring) deemed questionable, the Suns could take an extended look at Josh Okogie, TyTy Washington and Damion Lee on the wing. Beal's next chance to play will come Sunday against the Timberwolves.

Beal (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Sacramento, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal will join Kevin Durant in being sidelined by calf injuries, with his next opportunity to take the court coming Friday versus the Thunder. Grayson Allen (hamstring) is a game-time decision in what could be a very short-handed Phoenix rotation.

Beal (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Sacramento.

Beal dealing with a contusion as opposed to any type of strain after exiting Tuesday's contest with calf tightness is a resounding positive. Nonetheless, his status for Wednesday's game is to be determined. Grayson Allen (hamstring) is also questionable.

Beal left Tuesday's 120-112 win over Utah in the fourth quarter due to left calf tightness, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. He posted 24 points (8-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four assists, three rebounds, two steals and one block across 29 minutes.

Beal went back to the locker room with 7:19 remaining in the final quarter and was unable to return. The injury is not expected to be serious, and the team was likely being cautious with its star shooting guard. The 31-year-old's status will be something to monitor ahead of the second leg of a back-to-back set as the Suns play the Kings on Wednesday. Coach Mike Budenholzer said Tuesday that the team will wait to see how Beal feels Wednesday before consulting with medical staff, according to Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix.

Beal (knee) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Jazz.

Beal dealt with left knee pain after he was kicked in the leg during Sunday's loss to the Kings. On the bright side, X-rays came back negative and the star will seemingly suit up Tuesday without any limitations. Beal has been a mainstay on the injury report due to an elbow injury, and through eight regular-season appearances he has averaged 17.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.9 blocks across 35.5 minutes per game.

Beal had X-rays taken on his left knee that came back negative, Dana Scott of Azcentral Sports reports.

Beal dealt with left knee pain after he was kicked in the leg during Sunday's game against the Kings, and although he was able to continue, he had X-rays taken after the game which ultimately came back negative. It is unclear at this point whether Beal will be available for Tuesday's game against the Jazz.

Beal (elbow) is available for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.

As expected, Beal has been upgraded from probable to available and will continue to play through an elbow issue. Over his last three appearances, Beal has averaged 13.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocks in 33.3 minutes per game.

Beal is probable for Friday's game against the Mavericks due to a right elbow sprain.

Beal has been dealing with an elbow ailment for quite some time, but it seems it won't prevent him from suiting up Friday. The star guard is averaging 15.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists across 34.8 minutes per game this season while operating as Phoenix's third option on offense behind Kevin Durant and Devin Booker.

Beal (elbow) is active Wednesday versus Miami.

Beal has dealt with a nagging right elbow sprain for the past two weeks, but he will suit up for a third consecutive contest Wednesday. Beal has been very consistent across his past four contests, averaging 15.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists while never exceeding 17 points over that span

Beal (elbow) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game versus the Heat.

Beal continues to deal with a sprained right elbow but is expected to suit up for his third straight appearance. The star guard has logged at least 34 minutes of his last two outings, so he shouldn't be on a minutes restriction if he's upgraded to available.

Beal (elbow) will play Monday night against Philadelphia.

Beal was considered a true game-time call hours before Monday's tipoff, and it's since been decided that he'll get the green light after feeling strong in pregame warmups. He's logged 34 or more minutes in all four appearances this season, averaging 17.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks.

Beal (elbow) is questionable for Monday's game against the 76ers.

Beal has been a mainstay on the injury report due to a sprained right elbow, though he was able to suit up in Saturday's win over Portland after missing Thursday's win over the Clippers. The 31-year-old has appeared in four regular-season games, during which he has averaged 17.3 points, 4.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals-plus-blocks across 35.8 minutes per game. If Beal is ruled out, Ryan Dunn should handle an increased role.

Beal will be in the starting five for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.

Beal has missed two of the Suns' last three games due to a right elbow injury, but he will be in the starting lineup for Saturday's game. Across his three outings this season, Beal is averaging 18.0 points, 4.7 assists, 2.3 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocks over 36.3 minutes per game.

Beal (elbow) said he plans to play in Saturday's game versus the Trail Blazers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's contest due to a right elbow injury. However, if all goes well in warmups, Beal should be able to suit up against Portland.

Beal (elbow) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Beal has missed two of the Suns' past three games due to a lingering elbow injury. In his three appearances this season, Beal has averaged 18.0 points, 4.7 assists, 2.3 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocks in 36.0 minutes per game.

Beal (elbow) won't play Thursday against the Clippers.

Beal took part in Thursday's team shootaround earlier in the day, but he simply isn't healthy enough to give it a go. Ryan Dunn is expected to draw the start at small forward after making his first career NBA start Saturday against Dallas in Beal's place.

Beal (elbow) participated in an optional shootaround ahead of Thursday's game versus the Clippers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal is officially deemed questionable for Thursday's contest due to a sprained left elbow. However, the star guard's participation in shootaround is a good sign of his availability against Los Angeles.

Beal is questionable for Thursday's game against the Clippers due to a sprained right elbow.

Beal returned from a one-game absence with right elbow soreness to start and play 35 minutes Monday against the Lakers. He pops up on the injury report once again due to the elbow injury putting him at risk of missing a second contest. If he can't go, Royce O'Neale, Ryan Dunn and Damion Lee could see more action.

Beal (elbow) is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Lakers.

Beal will return Monday from a one-game absence due to right elbow soreness. Beal will enter the starting lineup alongside Tyus Jones, Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Jusuf Nurkic.

Beal (elbow) is expected to play in Monday's matchup against the Lakers, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Beal has been dealing with right elbow soreness that prevented him from appearing in Saturday's win over the Mavericks. Across two regular-season outings this year, the All-Star has accumulated 39 points, 10 assists, four rebounds, three steals and two blocks across 73 total minutes while shooting 53.8 percent from the floor.

Beal (elbow) is Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com for Monday's game against the Lakers, Gerald reports.

Beal was held out of Saturday's game against the Mavericks due to right elbow soreness, and he is in jeopardy of missing a second straight contest. Rookie first-round pick Ryan Dunn got the start for Beal on Saturday, and the former finished with 13 points and one rebound across 21 minutes.

Beal (elbow) is out for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.

Beal was previously listed as questionable for this matchup due to right elbow soreness, and the star guard will end up missing the contest in the second half of a back-to-back set. His absence should open up more minutes for Royce O'Neale, Ryan Dunn and even Damion Lee. Beal's next chance to play will come against the Lakers on Monday.

Beal is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Mavericks due to right elbow soreness.

Beal appears to have tweaked his elbow in Friday's contest and is now in danger of missing the second night of the back-to-back. With Grayson Allen (personal) also questionable, Damion Lee, Royce O'Neale and Ryan Dunn could receive increased playing time.

Beal chipped in 15 points (6-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound, nine assists, one block and two steals in 35 minutes during Friday's 123-116 loss to the Lakers.

With Kevin Durant and Devin Booker combining for 53 points on the night, Beal focused on distribution duties and led the Suns in assists. Roles among the trio will shift from game to game -- the 31-year-old wing dropped 24 points but dished only one dime in Phoenix's opener -- but Beal should be productive as long as he can stay healthy. He hasn't played more than 60 games in a season since 2018-19.

Beal (shoulder) is available for Friday's game versus the Lakers.

Beal has been upgraded from probable to available Friday despite dealing with right shoulder soreness. There is no indication that the 31-year-old guard will be on a minutes restriction against Los Angeles.

Beal (shoulder), who is still listed as probable for Friday's game against the Lakers, participated in shootaround, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal is dealing with shoulder sorenss, though he was able to suit up in Wednesday's overtime win over the Clippers, during which he accumulated 24 points while shooting 8-for-12 from the field and 4-for-6 from beyond the arc across 38 minutes. The 31-year-old will likely suit up Friday, though it is unclear if he will operate under a minutes restriction.

Beal is probable for Friday's game against the Lakers due to right shoulder soreness.

Beal has been diagnosed with shoulder soreness, but the probable tag suggests the veteran guard should play and handle his regular workload against the Lakers in a divisional matchup. Beal enjoyed a solid start to the 2024-25 campaign and registered 24 points (8-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 116-113 overtime victory over the Clippers.

Beal registered 24 points (8-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 116-113 overtime victory over the Clippers.

The Suns were guilty of playing as a group of individuals rather than a cohesive team last season, and Beal suffered as a result. The team ranked 21st with an average of 25.2 assists per game last season, which isn't surprising considering the team's penchant for players creating their own opportunities. It took some time for Beal to carve a role alongside Devin Booker, but it seems like the move to the wing might be the correction the team is looking for. Keon Ellis is now at the point, placing Beal in a hybrid guard-forward role. The increased opportunities were evident right away in the opener, and he could be one of the team's big surprises if he can stay consistent.

Beal (rest) is starting Thursday's preseason game against the Lakers.

Beal received a night off Sunday against the Nuggets, but he's back in the starting five for the Suns' final game of the preseason. He's on track to begin his 13th NBA regular season Wednesday against the Clippers.

Beal will not play in Sunday's preseason game against the Nuggets for rest purposes, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Beal will get the night off Sunday after scoring 17 points in 24 minutes of action Friday. His next opportunity to suit up comes Thursday against the Lakers.

Coach Mike Budenholzer said Thursday that Beal will start alongside Tyus Jones and Devin Booker in 2024-25, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal will once again be a part of a three-guard lineup in Phoenix, as Jones will replace Grayson Allen as a starter. Beal's 18.2 points per contest in 2023-24 were his lowest since 2015-16, but the introduction of a true point guard into the starting unit could help him return to his previous scoring form. However, the 31-year-old will still certainly be behind Kevin Durant and Devin Booker in the offensive pecking order.

Beal underwent a minor procedure to realign his septum shortly after the Suns were eliminated from the 2024 NBA Playoffs, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal broke his nose after taking an elbow from Myles Turner during the second half of a Jan. 26 loss to the Pacers and had to wear a mask for several games. He eventually ditched the mask but still had trouble breathing out of his right nostril during the final months of the campaign. After dropping 36 points on the Timberwolves in the regular-season finale, Beal averaged just 16.5 points during the opening-round series as Minnesota swept Phoenix. Beal is expected to play a key role for the Suns next season, but things are subject to change, as Phoenix fired Frank Vogel early in the offseason and quickly hired Mike Budenholzer.

Beal posted nine points (4-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block over 31 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 122-116 loss to Minnesota in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

This was Beal's worst game of the playoffs, and it resulted in the Suns getting swept by the Timberwolves in the first round. For the fifth straight campaign, Beal was unable to eclipse 60 games and struggled with injuries. He ended up making 53 appearances in his first season with the Suns, posting averages of 18.2 points, 5.0 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.9 three-pointers.

Beal finished Friday's 126-109 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 28 points (10-19 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 43 minutes.

Beal led the Suns in scoring Friday, but as has been the case throughout the series, Phoenix simply hasn't been able to hang on with the Timberwolves throughout an entire game, which explains the 0-3 deficit the Suns are currently in right now. This was the first team Beal surpassed the 15-point mark in the series, and the veteran guard will need to keep the momentum going for Game 4 on Sunday if the Suns want to avoid getting swept in the first round.

Beal posted 14 points (6-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds and six assists across 42 minutes during Tuesday's 105-93 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

Beal was relatively quiet in the loss, much like his teammates. Despite keeping it close, the Suns were simply overwhelmed by the Timberwolves, both inside and outside the paint. Now trailing 2-0 in the series, Phoenix will look to get back on track Friday when they host Game 3.

Beal posted 36 points (14-21 FG, 6-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 38 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 victory over Minnesota.

The 30-year-old guard closed out the regular season in style, producing his best scoring effort since he dropped 43 points against the Wizards on Feb. 4. Beal went nine straight games in late March and early April without scoring more than 15 points, but he's built up plenty of momentum heading into the playoffs -- over the Suns' last five contests he scored 20-plus four times and averaged 26.8 points, 6.0 boards, 4.2 assists, 3.8 threes, 1.8 blocks and 1.0 steals while shooting a blistering 61.4 percent from the floor and an incredible 73.1 percent (19-for-26) from beyond the arc.

Beal closed Friday's 108-107 victory over the Kings with 20 points (9-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 34 minutes.

Beal is getting hot at the right time. The veteran guard has averaged an eye-popping 58 percent from the floor over the last seven games, accompanied by an impressive 63. 3 percent conversion rate beyond the arc over the same period. Beal was brought over from Washington this season to help the Suns over the playoff hump, and it's time for the 30-year-old to deliver.

Beal logged 19 points (6-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, five blocks and one steal across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 105-92 loss to the Clippers.

Beal got hot in the second half after registering only two points at halftime. He rattled off 15 points to close the massive gap, but his oddest statistic came on the defensive end. Beal, who is 6-4, converted a head-scratching five blocked shots in the game, a career high for the veteran guard.

Beal chipped in 33 points (13-19 FG, 7-8 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and two blocks over 39 minutes during Sunday's 113-105 loss to New Orleans.

Beal came through in a game where the Suns needed him, and even though Phoenix ended up losing, Beal's numbers, both from an efficiency and scoring perspective, were impressive. Beal reached the 20-point mark for the first time since March 17, and he'll aim to carry the momentum of this performance to Tuesday's matchup against the Clippers.

Beal registered 10 points (3-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 104-97 victory over the Nuggets.

Beal has played through a finger injury but his resent results suggest some difficulty with his shot. The veteran has converted only 31.8 percent of his 22 shot attempts over the past two games, and the Suns need much more from Beal if they hope to stay out of the play-in bracket. With only 19 total points over the past two games, Beal will try to turn things around against the Thunder this Friday.

Beal (finger) is available to play Wednesday against the Nuggets.

Beal didn't practice Tuesday and could've been trending in the wrong direction, but he ended up being available and should handle his regular workload. Beal is averaging 17.3 points, 6.5 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game since the beginning of March.

Beal (finger) did not practice Tuesday and is officially questionable to play in Wednesday's game versus Denver, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal is at risk of missing his first contest since Feb. 29 after spraining his finger in the final minutes of Monday's loss to San Antonio. The injury is on his shooting hand, and Beal unsuccessfully attempted to get a splint taped up to rejoin crunch-time action of Monday's game. His status is murky for Wednesday.

Beal (finger) chipped in nine points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists and two steals across 30 minutes during Monday's 104-102 loss to San Antonio. Beal suffered a sprained right ring finger in the fourth quarter of the defeat, per coach Frank Vogel, and his status for Wednesday's game against Denver is undetermined, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.

Beal was invisible down the stretch Monday, going scoreless for the final 20 minutes of the game while attempting only one shot in the fourth quarter. The incident occurred in the final minutes, and Beal addressed postgame that he was in pain and speculates his finger got caught in an opponent's jersey. It's injury to insult for Phoenix, who lost Monday's contest to a San Antonio squad lacking Victor Wembanyama (ankle). Beal's facilitation while only committing one turnover is a silver lining of his statistical output.

Beal produced 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and 12 assists in 28 minutes during Saturday's 131-106 win over San Antonio.

Beal has been forced to adjust to playing as the Suns' third-best scoring alternative behind Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, but the veteran guard has adjusted well to the role. He's failed to surpass the 15-point mark in four of his last five appearances, but the decrease in scoring has translated into decent numbers in the playmaking department, as he's dished out seven or more assists in each of those five contests.

Beal finished with a team-high 28 points (11-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 140-129 loss to Milwaukee.

The 30-year-old guard produced his best scoring effort since dropping 31 on the Thunder back on Mar. 3. Beal scored at least 15 points in every contest in between, and over that eight-game stretch he's averaging 22.6 points, 6.1 assists, .39 boards, 1.9 threes and 1.4 steals while shooting 54.6 percent from the floor and 41.7 percent from beyond the arc.

Beal chipped in 24 points (10-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and three steals over 36 minutes during Monday's 117-111 win over the Cavaliers.

Beal has put forth a remarkably consistent 23.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.3 steals on 50.9 percent shooting across his last three games. He is averaging 18.3 shots across those contests, and while that figure could dip slightly as Devin Booker (ankle) continues re-acclimating, Beal is on the rise. A prime-time showing against Boston is next up Thursday.

Beal had 25 points (10-20 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, four assists and three steals across 38 minutes during Saturday's 117-107 loss to the Celtics.

Beal didn't do much in other categories outside of scoring, but fantasy managers probably wouldn't have an issue if he hovers around the 25-point mark regularly. At this point, though, the biggest win for fantasy managers who have Beal on their rosters is to keep him healthy for the final weeks of the campaign, as injuries have derailed him all season long. Beal has scored in double digits in his last four appearances and seems to be trending in the right direction, averaging 19.8 points per game across five March outings.

Beal ended with 20 points (8-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Thursday's 120-113 victory over the Raptors.

Beal took a backseat in scoring Thursday due to Kevin Durant's and Grayson Allen's performances, but he still posted an excellent stat line while ending just two assists shy of a double-double. Beal has struggled massively with injuries this season, and there's no question the lack of availability hurts his fantasy upside, but he's been productive when healthy. He's averaging 20.6 points per game in his 10 appearances since the beginning of February.

Beal ended Sunday's 118-110 loss to Oklahoma City with 31 points (10-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one block in 34 minutes.

Numerous chances at the charity stripe and heightened secondary numbers padded Beal's fantasy total, The veteran bounced back from a poor showing before getting ejected Saturday night against Houston. With Devin Booker (ankle) sidelined, Beal took control of the backcourt and enjoyed increased opportunity as a scoring option. Another absence from Booker would push Beal to the forefront against Denver Tuesday evening.

Beal (hamstring) will play in Sunday's game against the Thunder Steve McGehee of News 9 Oklahoma City reports.

Beal returned to action Saturday after missing the previous five games due to a hamstring injury, and he will be able to suit up for the second half of the team's back-to-back set. It would be surprising if Beal weren't on some sort of minute restriction, but he could see increased usage while he is on the floor due to Devin Booker (ankle) being out of the lineup.

Beal is probable for Sunday's game against the Thunder due to left hamstring injury management, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal was ejected during Saturday's loss to Houston but should return to action Sunday. With Devin Booker (ankle) sidelined, Beal will likely take over as the primary point guard, while Eric Gordon Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale are also candidates for increased roles.

Beal was ejected against Houston on Saturday after an altercation with Jalen Green. He finished with seven points (3-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two turnovers in 20 minutes.

Beal and Green were tangled up and a shoving match ensued. A suspension seems unlikely, and Beal was likely getting close to his unspecified minutes restrictions after recently recovering from a hamstring injury.

Beal (hamstring) will play in Saturday's game against the Rockets, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.

This was the expectation, as Beal was upgraded to probable prior to this update. This will be Beal's first game since Feb. 13, so it's likely that he'll have some restrictions early on. His return will be a big relief to Phoenix, as they are missing Eric Gordon (groin).

Beal (hamstring) is probable for Saturday's game against the Rockets, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Beal's on track to suit up following a five-game absence, but given he hasn't played since Feb. 13, it's safe to assume he'll have some restrictions to avoid a potential setback. Before suffering the hamstring injury, Beal was playing well, averaging 22.6 points, 6.1 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 36.4 minutes per game.

Beal (hamstring) will not play Thursday against the Rockets, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

This will be the fifth straight game on the shelf for Beal, and he hasn't played since Feb. 13. His next chance to suit up will be in a rematch versus the Rockets on Saturday. With Eric Gordon (groin) also out, Royce O'Neale is likely to see a significant workload Thursday.

Beal (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Rockets, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Beal and Eric Gordon (groin) are both questionable, so it's unclear what the Suns' backcourt rotation will look like at this point. If Beal is cleared to suit up, he'll presumably limited given it'll be his first appearance since Feb. 13.

Beal (hamstring) participated in non-contract parts of Tuesday's practice, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Beal has missed four straight games dating back to before the All-Star break, and while he hasn't been cleared for full-contract work yet, he continues to trend in the right direction. Eric Gordon (groin) and Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) were also limited participants Tuesday, but they'll have at least one more day to recover before attempting to suit up Thursday versus Houston.

Beal (hamstring) will not play Sunday against the Lakers.

Beal will miss his fourth straight game Sunday as the Suns continue to err on the side of caution. Phoenix is off until Thursday against Houston after they face the Lakers, but it remains to be seen if Beal will recover in time for that one. Eric Gordon, who has been starting in Beal's absence, is questionable with left groin soreness.

Beal (hamstring) won't play in Friday's game versus the Rockets, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Beal will miss his third straight game Friday, as expected, after being downgraded from doubtful to out due to a left hamstring strain. The star guard's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with the Lakers.

Beal (hamstring/nose) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Rockets, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Beal was unavailable for Thursday's game against the Mavericks and was considered unlikely to play Friday, so his doubtful designation isn't surprising. Assuming he's sidelined once again, Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen could see increased run.

Beal (hamstring/nose) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Mavericks and is unlikely to play Friday against Houston, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Beal has been dealing with a hamstring issue recently and also recently underwent a procedure to address his broken nose. He'll be unavailable for the Suns' first game after the All-Star break and will likely sit out the second half of the back-to-back set. Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen are candidates to see increased run in Beal's continued absence.

Beal (hamstring/nose) is questionable for Thursday's game against Dallas, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Beal is nursing a hamstring injury, which caused him to miss Phoenix's final game before the All-Star break. However, he also recently underwent a procedure to address his broken nose, which he'd been playing through while donning a mask. It's unclear which issue is causing the most problems, but it's safe to assume he'll be a game-time decision Thursday.

Beal (hamstring) recently underwent a procedure to address his broken nose, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal suffered a broken nose against Indiana in late January but was able to play through the issue with a mask. He sat out Wednesday's game against the Pistons due to a hamstring issue, and it's unclear whether that issue or his recent procedure on his nose will impact his availability when the Suns resume play Thursday against Dallas.

Coach Frank Vogel said Beal (hamstring) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Pistons but isn't believed to be dealing with a serious injury, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Beal suffered his injury early in Tuesday's game versus the Kings and will remain out against Detroit. However, it appears that the Suns are just playing it cautiously with their star guard. Eric Gordon will likely receive an increased role in his absence. Beal's next chance to suit up will come after the All-Star Break on Feb. 22 against Dallas.

Beal won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Kings due to a left hamstring injury. He will finish the contest with five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt and one rebound in five minutes

Beal left Tuesday's contest versus Sacramento early in the first quarter due to a hamstring injury and won't return. Eric Gordon will likely receive increased playing time in his absence. It wouldn't be surprising for Beal to sit out Wednesday's contest against Detroit to allow him to recover over the All-Star Break. The star guard has already missed extended periods this season due to ankle and back injuries.

Beal (ankle) is good to go for Saturday's game against the Warriors, DDuane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

No surprise here, as Beal was considered probable prior to this update. He made it through warmups without any setbacks and there's no word of any restrictions.

Beal is probable for Saturday's game versus the Warriors due to a right ankle sprain, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Beal was able to play through this same injury Thursday against the Jazz, pouring in 30 points (11-21 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with two rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 37 minutes. Assuming he suits up Saturday, he'll have a couple days to heal up before their next game on Tuesday versus the Kings.

Beal ended with 30 points (11-21 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Thursday's 129-115 win over the Jazz.

Devin Booker (hip) sat out the contest, making Beal the Suns' clear No. 2 option on offense behind Kevin Durant. Beal responded with his third effort of 30-plus points this season, and two of those performances have come in his past three games. The veteran guard has been heating up of late, averaging 32.7 points on 57.8 percent shooting along with 4.0 triples, 5.3 assists and 4.7 boards over the three-game span.

Beal (ankle) will play in Thursday's game against the Jazz, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal was a true game-time call, but he'll power through his ankle issue Thursday night. That's great news for a Phoenix team that will be very shorthanded in the absence of Devin Booker (hip). Beal's usage rate is likely to be much higher than usual versus the Jazz.

Beal is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Jazz with a sprained right ankle, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal is at risk of missing his first game since Dec. 27 due to a right ankle sprain. If he's unable to play, expect Eric Gordon, Josh Okogie and Jordan Goodwin to pick up Beal's vacated minutes.

Beal totaled 25 points (10-22 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and three steals over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 114-106 win over the Bucks.

Beal followed up a season-high 43 points with another productive outing. The veteran recorded a season-high 10 rebounds against the Bucks, who played short-handed without Brook Lopez and Damian Lillard. Although Beal's shot can betray him at times, his secondary contributions are almost always balanced and prop up his fantasy totals effectively.

Beal posted 43 points (16-21 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Sunday's 140-112 win over Washington.

Beal led all players in Sunday's contest in scoring and threes to go along with a half-dozen assists and a pair of steals while setting a season high in scoring in a winning effort. Beal posted his first 40-point game of the season, only crossing the 30-point mark in one other outing. He has now connected on at least four threes in three appearances this year.

Beal logged 14 points (5-16 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and 10 assists over 40 minutes during Friday's 129-120 loss to the Hawks.

Beal and Devin Booker (24 points, six assists) were outdone by Trae Young (32 points, 15 assists) and Dejounte Murray (22 points, five assists). Friday represented Beal's first double-double of the season and his facilitation is a welcome sight, but efficiency has been an issue over his last five games, shooting just 35.2 percent from the field and 13.8 percent from deep on 14.2 total shots per game.

Beal closed with 19 points (8-21 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Monday's 118-105 victory over the Heat.

The former Wizard continues to be the third wheel in the Suns' offense behind Devin Booker and Kevin Durant. Beal has reached 20 points only twice in the last eight games, and through 15 contests in January he's averaging 18.9 points, 5.0 boards, 4.7 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.0 steals -- solid numbers, but well below what he was producing a few seasons ago as the lead dog in Washington.

Beal logged nine points (4-13 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-4 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 113-98 loss to Orlando.

Beal has been forced to adjust this season and is now operating as the third-best offensive player in the Suns' offensive scheme behind a red-hot Devin Booker and a steady Kevin Durant, and his numbers have suffered because of that. He has cleared the 20-point mark in three of his last 10 games, averaging 18.5 points in that span, though he's done it while shooting 51.7 percent from the field. Beal's efficiency remains steady, but he needs more touches to maintain the fantasy upside he had in previous campaigns.

Beal (nasal fracture) will play Sunday versus Orlando.

Beal will not miss a game after having his nose fractured Friday versus Indiana. He will wear a mask in Sunday's contest, but the custom mask that Beal was fitted for will not arrive until Monday, so it's plausible that he could deal with some discomfort or awkwardness Sunday.

Beal (nasal fracture) is the game-time decision for Sunday's game against Orlando, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal took an elbow to the nose in Friday's loss to Indiana, and although he's being fitted for a mask Sunday, his status for Phoenix's 6 p.m. ET tipoff is uncertain. If Beal is unable to suit up, Grayson Allen, Eric Gordon and potentially Josh Okogie will likely have enlarged workloads.

Beal is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Orlando due to a nasal fracture, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal got hit in the face during Friday's game against the Pacers and is dealing with a nasal fracture, putting his availability for Sunday's tilt in question. With the game being the opening leg of a back-to-back set, it wouldn't be surprising to see Beal miss at least one game. If he ends up sitting Sunday, Eric Gordon, Jordan Goodwin and Saben Lee would likely pick up Beal's vacated minutes.

Beal contributed 20 points (8-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 132-109 victory over the Mavericks.

Devin Booker starred offensively for Phoenix with 46 points, and Beal finished a distant second on the team in scoring with his 20 points. That total included a trio of triples, and Beal also tied for the team lead in assists while tying for second in rebounds. While the veteran guard has reached 20 points only twice in his past five contests, he's shooting a healthy 51.4 percent from the field over that span and has dished at least five dimes in four of those games.

Beal posted 18 points (7-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and five assists in 38 minutes during Monday's 115-113 win over the Bulls.

Beal's scoring output was good for second on the Suns behind Kevin Durant's 43 points. Beal also finished tied for second on the team with five dimes, marking the fourth time in his past five contests that he's posted that exact number of assists. The veteran guard's numbers are well below his prime years in Washington, though he can still put the ball in the bucket, as he has six performances of 20-plus points over 11 games since the start of the new year.

Beal supplied 25 points (11-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Sunday's 117-110 win over the Pacers.

Beal had one of his best offensive performances of the season Sunday, securing his second-highest point total while ending as one of three Suns players with 25 or more points in a winning effort. Beal has recorded 25 or more points in four games this year, with his season-best outing occurring Jan. 11 when he posted 37 points against the Lakers. Beal has finished with 20 or more points in three of his last five contests.

Beal amassed a game-high 37 points (14-21 FG, 8-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Thursday's 127-109 win over the Lakers.

The 37 points and eight made threes were also a season high for Beal, who has had trouble staying healthy to begin his tenure in Phoenix. The 30-year-old guard appears to be rounding into form though -- he's scored in double digits in seven straight games, averaging 22.3 points, 4.7 boards, 3.9 assists, 1.7 threes and 0.9 steals over that stretch while shooting 53.9 percent from the floor and 40.0 percent (12-for-30) from beyond the arc.

Beal provided 15 points (7-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Monday's 138-111 loss to the Clippers.

Beal finished as the Suns' third-leading scorer Monday, though he failed to knock down a triple for the first time in six games. The veteran guard also was quiet in terms of complementary stats aside from his pair of steals. After appearing to take flight with four straight games of 20-plus points between Dec. 31 and Jan. 5, Beal has totaled just 27 points over his past two contests combined.

Beal produced 25 points (11-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds and nine assists over 37 minutes during Friday's 113-97 victory over the Heat.

Beal reached the 20-point mark for the fourth game in a row and continues to make an impact on offense in his return from injury, but he also stood out due to his contributions in other categories -- he ended just two boards and one assist away from posting a triple-double. Beal's season has been plagued by injuries so far, but he should be a strong fantasy asset in all formats as long as he remains available. Expect Beal to experience an uptick in usage rate as long as Kevin Durant (hamstring) remains out, too.

Beal amassed 21 points (7-20 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 41 minutes during Wednesday's 131-122 loss to the Clippers.

Beal struggled with his stroke -- especially from deep -- Wednesday, but fantasy managers who roster him can be encouraged by the fact that he took a team-high 20 shots. The veteran guard has struggled to stay on the court this season, which has unsurprisingly affected his rhythm, as he's shooting only 32.4 percent from three-point range through 10 contests. That's on pace for the second-lowest mark of his career, and his 16.1 points per game is also well below his norm, though Beal has plenty of time to turn things around now that he's healthy.

Beal finished with six points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, seven assists and one block over 30 minutes during Friday's 133-119 win over Charlotte.

Beal returned to action after missing the previous five games due to an ankle injury. He was noticeably rusty on the offensive end, shooting 3-of-8 from the floor. However, he tallied seven assists in the win, playing as a facilitator, as opposed to a scoring threat. The shot will return at some point, assuming Beal can remain healthy. The fact he played 30 minutes is a great sign, giving managers hope that the worst is now behind him.

Beal (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Hornets.

Beal was deemed questionable for Friday's matchup, but he participated in the Suns' morning shootaround and was cleared to return from his five-game absence shortly after. The 30-year-old has made just six appearances this season due to a back injury and subsequent ankle issue, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him face a minutes restriction Friday.

Beal (ankle), who's listed as questionable, participated in the Suns' morning shootaround ahead of Friday's game against the Hornets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal has missed the last five games due to a right ankle sprain but is trending in the right direction ahead of Friday's matchup. Given Beal has appeared in only six games this season due to a back injury and now an ankle issue, it's safe to presume he'll operate under strict minutes limitations if he's cleared to suit up. Eric Gordon, Jordan Goodwin and Grayson Allen would likely see slightly reduced roles if Beal is active versus Charlotte.

Beal (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

There have been several positive reports regarding Beal in recent days as he continues to ramp up his activity levels in practice. He's ahead of his rehab schedule, and if he's unable to play against Charlotte, then he'll likely be back against the Magic on Sunday. Given how many setbacks Beal has dealt with this season, it's fair to expect restrictions in the early going.

Beal (ankle) is ahead of schedule in his recovery and could return to action as soon as this weekend, Shams Charania of FanDuel TV reports.

Beal has missed Phoenix's last five outings due to an ankle injury that was expected to sideline him until at least the beginning of 2024. However, it appears that the star guard is progressing well and could be back sooner that initially anticipated. Friday's matchup with Charlotte seems like a long shot for him to return, but Sunday's contest against Orlando is not out of question.

The Suns announced Monday that Beal (ankle) will miss the next two weeks and be re-evaluated at the start of January.

Beal missed 19 of the Suns' first 22 games due to a back injury and appeared in three contests before suffering an ankle sprain. The shooting guard was arguably the biggest offseason acquisition, but his inability to stay on the court has put a damper on his first season in Phoenix. Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen should continue garnering increased roles until Beal returns.

Beal is expected to miss a few weeks with his right ankle injury, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Testing on Beal's ankle revealed no major damage to his ankle, but an official diagnosis hasn't been reported yet. With Beal facing a multi-week absence, the Suns will be relying heavily on both Eric Gordon (leg, probable) and Grayson Allen going forward. Beal has had some terrible luck with injuries to his back and ankle this season, limiting him to a total of six appearances.

Beal (ankle) will not play in Sunday's game against the Wizards, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

This comes from the official injury report for the Suns, so there isn't an update on the severity of the ankle issue yet. X-rays taken after Beal left Friday's game early came back negative, but a timetable hasn't been released yet. With Beal missing at least Sunday's game, Eric Gordon (leg, probable) and Grayson Allen will pick up most of the slack for the Suns.

X-ray's on Beal's ankle came back negative following Friday's game against the Knicks, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Beal was forced to leave in the first quarter of Friday's 139-122 loss to the Knicks after completing a four-point play where Donte DiVicenzo did not give him room to land. It was his third game back after a one-month absence due to back spasms. The negative results are certainly a positive sign, but it remains to be seen if he will be able to suit up for Sunday's matchup with the Wizards. Jordan Goodwin and Grayson Allen would presumably be in line for bigger roles if he is ultimately unable to suit up.

Beal will not return to Friday's game due to a right ankle injury, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Beal was injured on a four-point play when Donte DiVincenzo got underneath him. He subsequently exited the game after making a free throw and will not return. He returned from a one-month absence earlier in the week and was playing in his third straight game before exiting. There is no word on the severity of his injury, but his status for Sunday's matchup with the Wizards is now in question.

Beal (back) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the Nets.

As expected, Beal, who returned to action Tuesday following a 12-game absence due to a back issue, will be available for the second half of Phoenix's back-to-back set Wednesday. It'll be the first time that Beal, Kevin Durant (ankle) and Devin Booker share the court this season, but Beal is still expected to be limited to a handful of five-minute bursts. On Tuesday, Beal posted 16 points (5-12 FG) in 27 minutes.

Beal logged 16 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 119-116 win over the Warriors.

Beal will be on a minute restriction for the foreseeable future, but he plans on taking the floor in the back-to-back game on Wednesday. The team's willingness to play him immediately after his return to action is a good indication that Beals back is fully recovered. Although it might not be wise to roster him immediately, Beal will soon regain fantasy viability.

Suns coach Frank Vogel said that Beal will be on a minutes restriction for Tuesday's game versus the Warriors, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Vogel said that Beal's minutes won't be restricted to a hard line but more like a range. Beal will make his return to the lineup Tuesday after missing the previous 12 games with a back injury, and it would be surprising for the star guard to play more than 30 minutes against Golden State.

Beal (back) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Beal has been a full go at recent practices and is all set to make his first appearance since Nov. 12. It's fair to expect restrictions right out of the gate, but we likely won't hear specifics until after Tuesday's morning shootaround. With Kevin Durant (ankle) considered questionable and Grayson Allen (groin) ruled out, Beal's usage rate could potentially be much higher than usual Tuesday.

Beal (back) is targeting a return for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

The writing was on the wall after Beal logged another full practice Sunday, and while there's always a chance he could suffer a setback, it looks as though he'll be back in the mix as the Suns begin a four-game week. The ex-Wizard has appeared in only three games thus far, and Tuesday would mark his first appearance since Nov. 12.

Beal (back) was a full participant in Sunday's practice, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Beal has missed 12 straight games due to a back strain, but his return to game action appears imminent. He has logged a couple of full practices in recent days and barring a setback, he may return to action Tuesday versus Golden State. Beal's official status for that contest should surface Monday afternoon. However, it's not all positive news for the Suns, as Kevin Durant (ankle) didn't practice Sunday.

Beal (back) was a full participant in Thursday's practice but won't play in Friday's game versus the Kings, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports.

Beal will miss his 12th straight game Friday due to a back injury. However, Beal's return to practice is a good sign of his availability for Tuesday's matchup with the Warriors. Eric Gordon should continue to receive an increased role in his absence.

Beal (back) went through a workout ahead of Tuesday's In-Season Tournament game, and there's optimism the shooting guard could return to the Suns' starting lineup next week, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported on FanDuel TV.

In his report Tuesday, Charania mentioned that Beal continues to make progress, and if that trend continues over the next 7-to-10 days, he'll be on track to suit up for the first time since Nov. 12. Beal missed the first seven games of the season due to back spasms and returned for a three-game stretch in mid-November before being shut down again. He missed his 11th straight game Tuesday and will likely be sidelined for at least a few more contests, but Beal's return to action appears to be on the horizon. In the meantime, Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen should continue playing prominent roles.

Coach Frank Vogel said Monday that Beal (back) is making progress, but there's still no timetable for his return, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal will miss Tuesday's In-Season Tournament matchup versus the Lakers, marking his 11th straight absence. He's due for another evaluation at the end of the week, but until he returns to practice, Beal can be considered doubtful, at best.

Beal will be out and re-evaluated in three weeks as he recovers from a low back strain.

Beal has played just three games this season while dealing with a back injury, but it appears that the Suns are playing it cautiously to allow their star guard to fully recover. Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen are candidates to receive increased roles in his absence, while Devin Booker and Kevin Durant will likely shoulder most of the offensive load. Beal's timetable likely makes the middle of December his target to return to action.

Beal (back) is doubtful to play Friday against the Jazz.

Beal has been dealing with injuries all season long and has been available in only three of Phoenix's 11 contests to date. The veteran guard has scored more than 15 points just once in those three outings, so his start to the season hasn't been very encouraging, though at the same time, he's yet to get into any sort of rhythm.

Beal (back) will not play in Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Several reports on Wednesday indicated that Beal would play, and he was also carrying a probable tag prior to this update. This is very unfortunate for the Suns, as they were hoping to have their entire starting lineup available Wednesday. Beal should be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Jazz.

Coach Frank Vogel called Beal (back soreness) probable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. If active, Beal will be under a minute restriction.

An earlier report from Shams Charania of The Athletic indicated that Beal would suit up Wednesday, but it appears he still hasn't been cleared. While he's still considered likely to play, Vogel did note that Beal would be under a minutes restriction if he plays. Look for a concrete ruling closer to Wednesday's 9:00 ET tipoff.

Beal (back) is available for Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Beal has continued to deal with back spasms recently, but he was expected to suit up for Wednesday's matchup. Devin Booker (calf) and Kevin Durant will also be available, marking the first time during the regular season that the three players will be on the court together. Over his first three appearances of the season, Beal has averaged 17.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 28.7 minutes per game.

Beal (back) is expected to play Wednesday versus Minnesota, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Bill has started Phoenix's prior three contests, logging 30-plus minutes twice. On Tuesday, Bill discussed dealing with continued back discomfort and tightness throughout games, but he'll continue playing through the injury. He, Devin Booker (calf) and Kevin Durant are slated to play Wednesday, marking the first such occasion for the trio.

Following Sunday's 111-99 loss to the Thunder, Beal acknowledged that he's still dealing with discomfort in his back, Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports reports. "It's a little tight," Beal said. "It was a little tight all night. It affected me a little bit, but I can't use it as an excuse."

Sunday marked Beal's third appearance in a Suns uniform since making his debut on Nov. 8 in Chicago. The veteran guard finished with 15 points, eight rebounds and five assists in 30 minutes, but he committed five turnovers and shot just 6-of-18 from the field, including 0-of-5 from three. It doesn't sound as though Beal anticipates missing any time, but the fact that he's still not 100 percent is a bit concerning for fantasy managers -- especially with the Suns playing a three-game Week 4. Once Devin Booker (calf) returns, which could happen as soon as Wednesday against Minnesota, Beal will likely settle in as Phoenix's clear No. 3 option.

Beal (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Beal was probable for Sunday's matchup, so his availability isn't particularly surprising. Over his first two appearances of the season, he's averaged 18.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 27.5 minutes per game.

Beal (back) is probable to play Sunday against Oklahoma City, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal continues to navigate his return from back spasms, but he logged 32 minutes in Friday's loss to the Lakers and no setback was reported. He appears on track to play Sunday.

Beal (back) will play in Friday's game against the Lakers, according to Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet.

No surprise here, as Beal was previously carrying a probable tag. According to coach Frank Vogel, Beal is expected to see a similar workload to Wednesday's game in which he played 24 minutes.

Beal (back) is probable for Friday's game against the Lakers.

Probable tags after a player just returns from a lengthy injury are pretty common, so fantasy managers shouldn't be too alarmed here. Beal looked rusty in his return Wednesday, finishing with 13 points on 3-12 shooting in 24 minutes. We would expect his restrictions to be eased a bit more Friday.

Beal ended Wednesday's 116-115 overtime win over Chicago with 13 points (3-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block across 24 minutes.

Beal made his team debut Wednesday after recovering from a back injury, which pushed Eric Gordon to the bench. Beal showed some rust but was efficient from three and the free-throw line while committing just two turnovers to four assists. He'll presumably see his minutes ramp up Friday against the Lakers, when it's possible we'll see the Suns' trio all on the court together for the first time.

Coach Frank Vogel said Beal (back) will have his minutes monitored during Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Vogel wouldn't specify exactly how many minutes Beal will play during his season debut, but the Suns' big offseason addition will be starting Wednesday's contest. Devin Booker (calf) remains sidelined, so while he's on the court, Beal should serve as the No. 2 offensive option behind Kevin Durant.

Beal (back) will play Wednesday against the Bulls, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Beal was questionable ahead of Wednesday's matchup, but he'll be able to make his season debut in Chicago. Although Devin Booker (calf) will be unavailable Wednesday, Beal may face a minutes restriction following his absence to begin the season. Booker could be available this weekend, so the Suns are close to getting their full rotation on the court together for the first time this season.

Beal (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Upgraded to questionable, Beal is nearing his season debut. Teammate Devin Booker (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest, but it's unclear if Beal would face a minute restriction.

Beal (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pistons, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Beal will miss a seventh straight game to begin the season while he recovers from low back spasms, but he seemingly took a step forward by going through a rigorous workout in pregame warmups ahead of the Suns' loss to the 76ers on Saturday, per Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. After the Suns conclude their back-to-back set Sunday, the Suns will have two days off before returning to action Wednesday in Chicago. If Beal is able to practice in some capacity Tuesday, he could have a chance at making his Phoenix debut against the Bulls.

Beal (back) went through an extensive 20-minute pregame workout Saturday, but he's unlikely to make his season debut Sunday against the Pistons, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

The Suns have yet to release an updated injury report ahead of the second leg of a back-to-back set, but Beal looks like he'll miss a seventh consecutive game to begin the 2023-24 campaign when Phoenix tips off in Detroit at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday. Though head coach Frank Vogel said that there has been "no change" in Beal's status following his pregame workout prior to Saturday's 112-100 loss to the 76ers, the 30-year-old guard at least appears to be inching toward his Suns debut. With two off days following Sunday's game, Beal could have a more realistic chance at suiting up in Wednesday's contest in Chicago if he's able to get in a practice beforehand.

Beal (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the 76ers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal has been dealing with back spasms since just before the start of the regular season and will be unavailable for a sixth consecutive game to begin the 2023-24 campaign. The Suns also play Sunday against Detroit, and it's not yet clear whether Beal will be able to make his season debut in the second half of the back-to-back set.

Beal (back) won't play in Thursday's game against the Spurs, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal will miss a fifth straight contest due to back spasms and currently remains without a timetable for return. On the bright side for Phoenix, Devin Booker (ankle) is listed as questionable after missing three consecutive games. Beal's next chance to play will come Saturday at Philadelphia.

Beal (back) remains without an official timetable, Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports reports.

Beal hasn't been officially ruled out for Nov. 2 against the Spurs, but it's not looking good based on coach Frank Vogel's comments. Beal has been able to do on-court work, but it's mostly just light shooting.

Beal (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal continues to deal with back spasms and will be unavailable for a fourth consecutive game to begin the regular season. Devin Booker (ankle) is also doubtful, so Eric Gordon, Grayson Allen and Jordan Goodwin should see increased run. Beal's next chance to return will be Thursday in a rematch against San Antonio.

Beal (back) will remain sidelined to start the season when the Suns host the Jazz on Saturday, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal's absence will mark his third straight to start the season. He is nursing back spasms and the Suns are seemingly erring on the side of caution in order to avoid a lingering issue going forward. With Devin Booker (ankle) also deemed doubtful, the likes of Eric Gordon, Grayson Allen and Jordan Goodwin figure to see increased roles. Beal's next chance to make his season debut will come Tuesday against the Spurs.

Beal (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Lakers, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Beal was considered doubtful ahead of Thursday's matchup and will officially be unavailable for a second consecutive game to begin the regular season. Devin Booker (foot) will also be out, so Jordan Goodwin, Grayson Allen and Eric Gordon should see increased roles in the backcourt.

Beal (back) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Lakers, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Beal missed Tuesday's opener with back soreness and is on his way to a second straight absence. With Devin Booker (left foot soreness) also doubtful, the Phoenix backcourt could be left to Grayson Allen, Jordan Goodwin, Eric Gordon and Saben Lee on Thursday.

Beal (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Warriors, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Beal was previously considered doubtful, so this isn't a huge surprise. The good news is that Beal's injury is progressing, and it sounds like he'll be day-to-day going forward. Grayson Allen will draw the start in Beal's place, while Kevin Durant and Devin Booker will soak up more usage.

Beal (back) is unlikely to play in Tuesday's season opener vs. Golden State, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Beal recently tweaked his back and was limited in practice Sunday, but then was able to practice Monday. It sounds like the Suns are going to be cautious with the injury early in the season.

Beal (back) is questionable for Tuesday's regular-season opener versus Golden State, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Beal's back stiffness likely doesn't profile as a serious issue, but Phoenix rushing him back and jeopardizing a larger absence in the future would be a worst-case scenario. Notably, Beal practiced Monday and stated that he intends to play on Opening Night, so he's trending strongly in the right direction.

Beal (back) participated in practice Monday, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Beal recently tweaked his back and was limited in practice Sunday. It's unclear whether he had any limitations Monday, but coach Frank Vogel said that he hopes Beal will be ready for Tuesday's regular-season opener against Phoenix. Beal also indicated earlier Monday that he intends to play on Opening Night.

Beal (back tightness) was a limited participant in Sunday's practice, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports

Beal's back tightness is likely precautionary as opposed to a serious flare-up. Coach Frank Vogel noted that Beal should be fine and didn't express any concern about his availability for Tuesday's opener versus Golden State.

Beal is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason matchup against the Lakers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

The Suns will start Kevin Durant, Jusuf Nurkic and Josh Okogie, but they have decided to give Beal some rest in the final game of the preseason. The star guard is expected to open the season as Phoenix's de-facto point guard and third scoring option behind Durant and Devin Booker, and regardless of his role, he'll have to find a way to share the ball efficiently with the two aforementioned star players.

Beal (back) is starting Monday's preseason game against the Trail Blazers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal was held out of Thursday's exhibition while attending to back tightness, but he's been given the green light for Monday's clash. He'll start alongside Devin Booker, Grayson Allen, Kevin Durant and Drew Eubanks.

Beal (back) is expected to play Monday against the Trail Blazers, head coach Frank Vogel told Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com.

Beal didn't play Thursday against the Trail Blazers due to back tightness, but he was a full participant in practice Saturday, meaning he should be available to feature in some capacity Monday.

Beal is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Blazers.

Beal was deemed available to play but isn't in the starting lineup, and it's uncertain if he will come off the bench in this preseason contest. Beal has yet to make his preseason debut.

Beal (rest) is available for Thursday's preseason game versus the Trail Blazers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beal, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker are set to play Thursday after sitting out the previous game. However, Beal is unlikely to receive significant playing time during the preseason.

Beal (rest) is out for Tuesday's preseason contest versus Denver, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Beal logged 14 minutes in the Suns' preseason opener versus Detroit on Sunday, but he will sit alongside co-stars Kevin Durant and Devin Booker on Tuesday. His next chance to suit up will be Thursday against Portland.

Beal finished Sunday's preseason win over the Pistons with 11 points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 14 minutes.

Seeing his first action as a member of the Suns, Beal wasted little time getting work, scoring seven of his 11 points in the first quarter. Phoenix piled up 46 points in the first period, with Beal, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker combining for 26 of those on 9-of-12 shooting. On paper, Beal is the clear No. 3 option in the Suns' offense, but it's unclear just how much that will impact his fantasy value. Reductions in counting stats should be expected, though Phoenix will need to lean heavily on its big three on a nightly basis.

The Wizards are trading Beal to the Suns in exchange for Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, multiple second-round picks and multiple pick swaps, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

The trade will be finalized in the coming days, so the exact details of the deal remain unclear. Washington's new ownership knocks down the first domino in completely rebuilding its roster, while the Suns get a third star to pair with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. Beal is expected to be fully healthy this offseason after missing the final weeks of the 2022-23 regular season with a sprained knee. The superstar shooting guard has scored at least 20 points per game in seven consecutive campaigns and posted 50/36/84 shooting splits last year, but his fantasy outlook may take a hit playing next to a pair of ball-dominant players.

The Wizards are trading Beal to the Suns in exchange for Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, multiple second-round picks and multiple pick swaps, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

The trade will be finalized in the coming days, so the exact details of the deal remain unclear. Washington's new ownership knocks down the first domino in completely rebuilding its roster, while the Suns get a third star to pair with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. Beal has scored at least 20 points per game in seven consecutive campaigns and posted 50/36/84 shooting splits last year, but his fantasy outlook may take a hit playing next to a pair of ball-dominant scorers. The superstar shooting guard is expected to be fully healthy this offseason after missing the final weeks of the 2022-23 regular season with a sprained knee.

Beal, who just finished the first season of a five-year, $251 million contract that includes a no-trade clause, will work with Washington's new ownership to find a trade destination if the Wizards opt to reset their roster this offseason, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Nothing is official yet, but the possibility of Washington moving on from Beal, Kristaps Porzingis and Kyle Kuzma this offseason continues to grow. Given the no-trade clause in Beal's contract, he'll have the opportunity to essentially pick where he wants to go if Washington decides to trade him. The superstar shooting guard missed the last couple weeks of the regular season with a sprained knee, ending the 2022-23 campaign with averages of 23.2 points, 5.4 assists and 3.9 rebounds in 33.5 minutes per game. If Beal becomes available, the Heat, Sixers and Knicks would presumably be early favorites to land the 2012 first-round pick.

Beal (knee) will not play in Sunday's season final against the Rockets, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

A sprained left knee has kept Beal sidelined since March 22, and the Wizards have committed to a tank to improve playoff positioning. Beal had a relatively productive season when available -- 23.2 points, 5.4 assists and 3.9 rebounds in 33.5 minutes per game -- but he made just 50 appearances. It appears the days of Beal averaging 30 points per game are long gone, as he's been content to let Kristaps Porzingis and Kyle Kuzma handle scoring on plenty of nights. In eight-category leagues, Beal finished with a per-game rank of 45.

Beal (knee) remains sidelined for Friday's game versus the Heat.

Beal hasn't appeared in a game since March 21 and seems unlikely to rejoin the action during 2022-23. He theoretically has one more opportunity to suit up Sunday against the Rockets, but it seems highly unlikely.

Beal (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Beal is slated to miss an eighth straight game due to a left knee sprain, and with the Wizards mathematically eliminated from the Play-In Tournament, it'd be surprising to see him suit up again this season. Kristaps Porzingis (illness), Delon Wright (illness), Monte Morris (ankle), Kyle Kuzma (ankle) and Deni Avdija (elbow) also remain out, so Kendrick Nunn, Corey Kispert and Johnny Davis are candidates for increased usage again.

Beal (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

Beal is set to miss a seventh straight game, and his chances of seeing action before the end of the regular season keep getting slimmer as the Wizards remain out of a potential Play-In spot. With Beal out, expect Corey Kispert and Delon Wright to log heavy minutes in the backcourt once again. Beal has not played since March 21.

Beal (knee) will not play in Sunday's game against the Knicks, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Beal will miss a sixth consecutive game due to a sprained left knee, which should allow for Corey Kispert and Delon Wright to continue to see extended run. With the Wizards three games back of a spot in the play-in and only five games left on their schedule, Beal could be a shutdown candidate if the team falls out of contention. Regardless, he will have another chance to play Tuesday against Milwaukee.

Beal (knee) won't play in Friday's game versus the Magic.

Beal's absence streak will extend to five games due to a left knee sprain. Corey Kispert and Delon Wright should continue to see extended minutes in his absence. Beal's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with the Knicks.

Beal (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.

Beal is slated to miss a fourth straight game due to a left knee sprain. Kyle Kuzma (ankle) also remains out, so Deni Avdija, Corey Kispert and Johnny Davis will continue to see increased roles, though Kristaps Porzingis figures to be the Wizards' go-to playmaker against Boston. Beal's next chance to suit up will come Friday against the Magic.

Beal (knee) will not play in Sunday's game against the Raptors, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Beal was diagnosed with a sprained left knee Friday and will be held out of Sunday's game due to the issue. Although his absence is disappointing for fantasy managers who are in the playoffs, Coach Wes Unseld tabbed Beal as day-to-day so he should be back in action soon. With Kyle Kuzma (ankle) also out, Corey Kispert, Deni Avdija, Jordan Goodwin and Johnny Davis could all see expanded roles. Beal will have another chance to return Tuesday against the Celtics.

Coach Wes Unseld said Friday that Beal was diagnosed with a left knee sprain and is day-to-day moving forward, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Beal has already been ruled out Friday after missing the previous game against Denver. Korey Kispert, Deni Avdija, Jordan Goodwin and Johnny Davis have all seen extended minutes with Kyle Kuzma (ankle) also out. Beal's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Toronto.

Beal (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Beal was unavailable for the second half of a back-to-back set Wednesday against the Nuggets, and he'll sit out a second consecutive game two days later. Kyle Kuzma (ankle) will also remain out, so Jordan Goodwin, Corey Kispert, Johnny Davis and Deni Avdija should continue to see increased run for the Wizards.

Beal (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

Beal was questionable ahead of Wednesday's matchup due to a sore left knee, and he'll be held out for the second half of a back-to-back set. Jordan Goodwin, Corey Disport, Johnny Davis and Kendrick Nunn are candidates to see increased run Wednesday, especially since Kyle Kuzma (ankle) has also been ruled out.

Beal is considered questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets due to left knee soreness, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

It's worth noting that Wednesday's game is the second of a back-to-back set, so the Wizards could explore resting their star player. Beal is still just questionable officially, so it will be worth monitoring his status as the 7 p.m. ET tipoff approaches.

Beal finished with 20 points (8-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 32 minutes during Saturday's 132-118 loss to the Kings.

Beal has scored at least 20 points in three games in a row and eight of his last nine, and he is going through one of his most productive stretches of the 2022-23 season. The veteran guard is averaging 24.3 points per game while shooting 48.5 percent from the field in March.

Beal registered 36 points (13-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 117-97 victory over Detroit.

Beal led all players in Tuesday's game in scoring while also leading the Wizards in threes made and assists in Tuesday's blowout victory over Detroit. Beal has tallied at least 35 points, five rebounds and five assists in two games this season.

Beal totaled 27 points (11-24 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 114-107 loss to the Hawks.

Beal continues to play well at the right time, scoring at least 20 points for the fifth straight game. In a season riddled with injury-related absences, Beal is starting to look more like the player managers had been hoping for on draft day. For some reason, he still refuses to score from the perimeter, having connected on a total of just 10 three-pointers in the last nine games.

Beal provided 24 points (8-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-9 FT), three rebounds, eight assists, one block and three steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 122-120 loss to Atlanta.

Beal was one of three Wizards players with 20 or more points, leading the team in assists while finishing two dimes short of a double-double performance. Beal has tallied at least 20 points and five assists in two of his last four outings.

Beal chipped in 32 points (14-21 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 119-117 win over the Pistons.

His biggest shot was one he missed, however. With the clock ticking down in the fourth and the score tied 117-117, Beal drove the basket and while his layup was too strong, Daniel Gafford was able to grab the rebound and stuff home the winning bucket. Beal has popped for more than 30 points in three of the last five games, and since returning from a brief absence in early February due to a foot injury he's averaging 25.7 points, 6.3 assists, 4.7 boards, 1.8 threes and 0.9 steals over the last 12 games while shooting 50.2 percent from the floor.

Beal recorded 33 points (15-32 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 117-111 loss to Milwaukee.

Beal notched his first 30-point showing of March and wasn't shy about getting his looks on the offensive end. He attempted a season-high 32 shots from the field, however, he failed to connect from beyond the arc. Beal also made an impact on the boards, falling just one rebound shy of a double-double.

Beal logged 21 points (7-22 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and two blocks in 42 minutes during Saturday's 116-109 overtime loss to Toronto.

Beal matched his season-high with 10 assists, notching just his second double-double of the season. While it has been an up-and-down season for Beal, he remains a solid source of points, triples, assists and percentages. Moving forward, health is likely to be the only thing that stops him from what could be a strong finish to the season.

Beal had 15 points (5-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 35 minutes during Thursday's 119-108 win over the Raptors.

The Wizards didn't need Beal to play hero Thursday. Coming off a 37-point outburst in a win over the Hawks, Beal only put up 15 against the Raptors, the fewest points he's scored in a game since Jan. 3. He didn't put up gaudy numbers in any category, but his rebound and assist totals kept Thursday from being a complete dud. The Wizards' shooting guard will get another shot at the Raptors on Saturday.

Beal ended with 37 points (17-30 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 119-116 win over the Hawks.

It's the fourth time in the last seven games Beal has delivered more than 30 points, but he's failed to reach 20 in the other three. Over that stretch, he's averaging 27.1 points, 6.0 assists, 3.9 boards, 2.1 threes and 1.1 steals while shooting 53.1 percent from the floor to help keep the Wizards in the mix for the play-in tournament.

Beal provided 18 points (7-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-7 FT), seven rebounds and eight assists across 37 minutes during Sunday's 102-82 loss to the Bulls.

Beal led the Wizards in scoring and assists while finishing just two assists and three rebounds shy of a triple-double. Beal has recorded at least 15 points, five assists and five rebounds on 11 occasions this season.

Beal provided 16 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal across 35 minutes during Friday's 115-109 loss to New York.

Coming off a season-high 35-point performance before the All-Star break, Beal played more of a facilitators role as he led the Wizards with eight assists Friday. Beal came out of the All-Star break questionable due to a knee injury but played 35 minutes in Friday's win. It's unclear if he will play in the second leg of the back-to-back Saturday.

Beal (knee) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Knicks.

Beal banged his knee in Washington's final game heading into the break, which put his status for Friday in jeopardy. However, he's feeling good enough to play, and the contest will mark his sixth consecutive appearance. The guard has struggled with health all season, missing 22 games. Across his past 12 matchups, Beal has averaged 23.4 points, 5.2 assists and 3.7 rebounds in 31.6 minutes.

Beal (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Neil Dalal of Hoop District reports.

Beal was unable to practice for a second consecutive day Thursday, and his status for the Wizards' first game following the All-Star break is up in the air. If the 29-year-old is unavailable Friday due to his right knee soreness, Deni Avdija and Monte Morris would likely see increased run for Washington.

Beal (sore right knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice and it's unclear if he'll be available for Friday's matchup with the Knicks, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Beal banged his knee in Washington's final game heading into the break and it's a bit concerning that it's still giving him trouble nearly a week later. If he's not able to get through practice within the next few days, then he'll likely be watching from the sidelines Friday night. If that's the case, Deni Avdija would get a chance to start, Monte Morris would see an uptick in playmaking opportunities and it would be Kyle Kuzma and Kristaps Porzingis doing the heavy lifting on offense.

Beal ended with 35 points (14-28 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists and three steals in 35 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 victory over the Timberwolves.

Beal took over the game for the Wizards in the fourth quarter and scored 17 of his 35 points in the final period, including a clutch three that iced the game for Washington with 37.1 seconds left on the clock. Beal enters the All-Star game on fire, as he has scored at least 30 points in three of his last four contests while averaging 28.3 points through six February outings.

Beal chipped in 19 points (7-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 126-101 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Beal regressed after posting back-to-back 30-point games, but his overall results are a good indication that his hamstring issue is improving. When healthy, Beal is a deadly fantasy performer, and the upcoming All-Star break will help him heal up.

Beal contributed 33 points (13-23 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 135-126 loss to the Warriors.

Beal scored at least 30 points for a second straight game, finishing one short of tying Kristaps Porzingis for the game high. Despite the duo combining for 67 points, the Wizards dropped another contest and currently sit at 10th place in the East. Beal's struggled to stay on the floor this season (34 appearances) and is averaging his fewest points (22.8) and rebounds (3.5) since 2017. However, he's posting 29.0 points, 5.3 assists and 1.8 steals-plus-blocks over his last four appearances, so fantasy managers are finally starting to get the production they expected to get when drafting Beal last offseason.

Beal finished Saturday's 127-113 win over the Pacers with 32 points (13-18 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, four rebounds, one steal and one block in 31 minutes.

Though the Wizards have yet to turn Beal completely loose while he's dealt with recurring hamstring issues for a large chunk of the season -- he hasn't played more than 35 minutes in a game since early December -- the 29-year-old is starting to resemble the player that fantasy managers were hoping for on draft day. Despite missing two games earlier this month with a foot injury, Beal hasn't missed a beat over the last three contests in which he's played, averaging 27.7 points on a prolific 58.6 percent shooting from the field and 45 percent shooting from three-point land. Beal's efficiency will regress from here, but perhaps not to the same degree that it might have in previous seasons. Even while playing fewer minutes this season while managing the injury concerns, Beal is converting at a career-best 52.0 percent clip from the field, up three and a half percentage points from his previous top mark in 2020-21.

Beal ended Wednesday's 118-104 victory over the Hornets with 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists, three blocks and one steal over 33 minutes.

Beal returned from a two-game absence necessitated by a foot injury, and he felt well enough to log 33 minutes. While Kristaps Porzingis (36 points) dominated in the scoring column for Washington, Beal was impactful with 17 points and a season-high 10 dimes for his first double-double of the campaign. Beal was also surprisingly productive as a shot blocker, tying his season-high mark with three swats.

Beal (foot) will play Wednesday against the Hornets.

Beal is back after a two-game absence, and with Kyle Kuzma (ankle) unavailable, Beal and Kristaps Porzingis will be very busy on offense. There's been no word on any minutes restrictions for Beal, so he's safe to fire up in all season-long settings.

Bradley Beal (foot) practiced on Tuesday and is being listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Hornets, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Beal has missed the past two games, but he wasn't ruled out until after getting through his pregame routine on Monday, so getting through Tuesday's practice without issue is encouraging. If he is able to return for Wednesday's game, Corey Kispert would likely head back to the second unit and Will Barton could return to DNP-CD status.

Beal is out for Monday's contest against the Cavaliers.

Beal will officially miss his second straight game as he tends to a foot injury. The 29-year-old was present for the team's shootaround Monday morning, indicating that he should not be too far away from returning to Washington's lineup. The Wizards' next outing comes Wednesday against the Hornets.

Beal (foot), who is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, took part in the Wizards' morning shootaround, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Washington may not provide a formal update on Beal's status for Monday's contest until closer to the 7 p.m. ET opening tip, but the standout shooting guard's involvement in shootaround bodes well for his chances of putting an end to a one-game absence. Corey Kispert drew the start in Beal's stead in Saturday's loss to the Nets and played 37 minutes, but Kispert would presumably head to the bench and see a reduction in playing time if Beal is available Monday.

Beal (foot) is being listed as questionable for Monday's matchup with the Cavs.

Beal sat out the second leg of a back-to-back on Saturday with some soreness in his left foot, which resulted in Corey Kispert getting the spot-start and a larger usage rate for Kristpas Porzingis and Monte Morris. It'll be more of the same if he's out again on Monday, which would put Kispert on the radar as a potential streamer.

Beal (foot) will not suit up for Saturday's meeting with Brooklyn.

Beal will sit the tail end of the Wizards' back-to-back set with left foot soreness after playing 32 minutes Friday. Fantasy managers should expect Beal to be a full go for Monday's game against the Cavaliers. While he's sidelined, Corey Kispert and Kendrick Nunn figure to see increased workloads.

Beal is considered questionable for Saturday's game versus the Nets due to left foot soreness.

Beal fired off a season-high 34 points Friday night against the Trail Blazers and played 32 minutes in the contest, so it's possible the team is debating resting him in the second night of a back-to-back set. Official word on his status should arise ahead of the 6 PM ET tipoff.

Beal chipped in 34 points (14-25 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 32 minutes during Friday's 124-116 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Beal's 34 points Friday marked a game-high for either squad. This was Beal's first 30-point game since Dec. 22. The three-time all-star played an efficient game, with just two turnovers and a solid night shooting from the field. His ability to score the rock efficiently gives him top-10 value at shooting guard, for fantasy managers.

Beal and the Wizards will not play Wednesday against Detroit due to weather-related travel issues for the Pistons leaving Dallas, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Beal will have to wait until Friday against the Trail Blazers to get back on the court. The league will presumably reschedule the contest at a later date, but no official declaration on that front has been made at this point.

Beal finished with 21 points (8-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two blocks in 30 minutes in Monday's 127-106 win over the Spurs.

Making his sixth consecutive appearance following a recent five-game absence due to a hamstring injury, Beal came through with his best fantasy performance during that stretch. Thanks largely to having already missed 20 games this season while seeing his minutes per game drop from 36.0 in 2021-22 to 32.8 so far in 2022-23, Beal hasn't lived up to draft-day expectations, but his outlook could be more promising moving forward now that the nagging hamstring issue looks to be behind him. Even though his averages in the counting categories are slightly down across the board from last season, Beal has been able to offset those declines to some degree by converting at a career-best rate from the field (51.2 percent).

Beal provided 17 points (7-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 108-103 win over the Rockets.

Beal had a rough shooting performance, but his contributions still lifted Washington to victory. He's been remarkably consistent of late, putting up at least 17 points in each of his four outings since returning from injury and shooting 47.5 percent from the field in that span.

Beal contributed 17 points (7-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and eight assists over 28 minutes during Saturday's 138-118 win over the Magic.

Beal scored 13 of his 17 points in the second half on 5-of-8 shooting from the field, including 2-of-2 from beyond the arc. While he was relatively quiet with just four points in the first half, Beal did dish out four first-quarter assists to help Washington jump out to an early 11-point lead. His eight assists in the contest tied Delon Wright for the team lead and also matched a season high for the shooting guard. Beal is still looking for his first 20-point game since returning from the hamstring injury but is shooting a solid 56 percent from the field over the last two games.

Beal amassed 18 points (7-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 116-105 victory over the Knicks.

Beal was efficient from the field throughout the game, going 4-of-6 for 10 points in the first half before adding another eight points on 3-of-5 shooting over the final two quarters. The shooting guard also chipped in four rebounds and four assists in the contest and didn't appear to show any lingering effects from the hamstring injury which held him out the last five games. He'll look to build off that performance Saturday against the Magic at home.

Wizards head coach Wes Unseld said Beal (hamstring) will start Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

Beal, who has missed five straight and eight of the Wizards' past nine games with a hamstring injury, was officially cleared earlier Wednesday, and Unseld has now confirmed his status in the starting lineup. The coach added that there will be "limitations" during Beal's return to action, though he didn't specify a minutes restriction. The superstar guard has struggled to stay on the court this season (24 appearances through 44 contests), but when available, he's been a quality producer, posting 22.0 points and 5.2 minutes in 33.6 minutes per game.

Beal (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Knicks.

Beal has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday, as expected. The star guard will likely replace Corey Kispert in the starting lineup. Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Beal is on a minutes restriction, as he has missed 14 of the team's last 20 games.

Beal (hamstring) is expected to return to the Wizards' starting lineup Wednesday against the Knicks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Beal has missed five straight and eight of the Wizards' past nine games due to a hamstring injury and is officially listed as questionable for Wednesday. However, it appears like the superstar guard will be back in the mix against New York. Beal has struggled to stay on the floor this season (24 appearances through 44 contests), but when available, he's been a quality producer, posting 22.0 points and 5.2 assists in 33.6 minutes per game.

Beal (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Beal has missed five consecutive contests and eight of Washington's past nine games due to a hamstring injury. The superstar guard was reportedly practicing Sunday, so it appears he's on track to return soon, though his official availability for Wednesday's game likely won't surface until closer to the 7:30 p.m. ET opening tip.

Beal (hamstring) won't play in Monday's game against the Warriors.

Beal will be missing his fifth consecutive game Monday and now has just six appearances under his belt since Dec. 4. The Wizards are continuing to handle his status on a game-to-game basis, so the hope is that he can get back on the floor sometime this week. Washington is off Tuesday before facing the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday.

Beal (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's game against the Warriors, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Head coach Wes Unseld Jr. announced Beal's status for Monday's contest, and the Wizards will hope to have him back after he missed each of the team's last four games and seven of Washington's last eight. He's averaging 22.9 points per contest this season, but the fact that he's played just 24 times so far has been an issue for fantasy managers.

Beal (hamstring) was cleared to resume full basketball activities Thursday, and his timetable for a return will be based on his progression.

A strained left hamstring has kept Beal out for six of the past seven games, leaving Corey Kispert to start at shooting guard. It seems highly unlikely that Beal will be available Friday against the Knicks, so fantasy managers should optimistically hope for a return Monday against the Warriors. Still, given that he already re-injured himself once while attempting to return from the injury, the organization may be more cautious this time. Beal has appeared in just 24 games this season, averaging 22.9 points, 5.2 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 33.6 minutes.

Beal was diagnosed with a low-grade left hamstring strain and is out for the Wizards' next three games.

Beal re-injured his hamstring Wednesday after missing the previous three games. Cory Kispert and Deni Avdija will likely see extended minutes in his absence. Beal will re-evaluated in one week, so his first opportunity to return is next Friday's matchup with the Knicks.

Beal (hamstring) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Beal aggravated his hamstring in Tuesday's game after missing the previous three. He did mobility work while the rest of the team practiced. While Beal hasn't officially been ruled out for Friday's matchup with the Thunder, it seems unlikely he will play.

Beal (hamstring) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Bucks, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Beal has been downgraded from questionable to out for the remainder of Tuesday's game due to left hamstring soreness that had kept him out of the previous three contests. Corey Kispert will likely see extended minutes in his absence. Beal will have an extra day to recover for Friday's matchup with the Thunder.

Beal (hamstring) is questionable to return to Wednesday's game against Milwaukee.

Beal was ultimately cleared to play in Wednesday's contest despite nursing a sore left hamstring. After posting eight points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, two steals and one rebound in 13 minutes, Beal may find himself on the sidelines for the rest of the matchup. If that's indeed the case, the guard will presumably be deemed day-to-day until further information regarding his hamstring surfaces.

Beal (hamstring) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Bucks.

Beal has been upgraded from questionable to available after missing the last three games with a hamstring injury. The star guard will likely replace Corey Kispert in the starting lineup Tuesday.

Beal (hamstring) participated in shootaround ahead of Tuesday's matchup against Milwaukee, but head coach Wes Unseld said the superstar guard's availablity won't be determined until closer to game time, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Beal's missed three straight games with a hamstring injury, but it appears he's trending toward being available Tuesday. However, fantasy mangers are still encouraged to monitor the guard's status ahead of Tuesday's 8:00 PM EST tipoff before locking Beal into lineups.

Beal (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Bucks.

After missing Washington's past three contests, Beal's status for Tuesday is still up in the air. If the All-Star guard is unable to suit up, his next chance to return comes Friday against the Thunder.

Beal (hamstring) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Bucks.

The Wizards waited Beal until the very last minute, but in the end, the star shooting guard will miss a third straight contest with a sore left hamstring. Outside of the fact that Beal's absence will hurt Washington offensively, Corey Kispert should remain in the starting five as his replacement. Beal's next chance to play will come Tuesday at Milwaukee once again.

Beal (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Beal has missed the last two games due to a sore left hamstring, but he'll be in the mix to return against Milwaukee. If he remains out, Corey Kispert will likely continue to garner a starting role for Washington.

Beal (hamstring) will not take the floor for Friday's game against the Magic, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Beal will miss a second consecutive contest with left hamstring soreness, however, the Wizards may not need him Friday considering the Magic have just eight players available. Corey Kispert will likely remain in the starting lineup and Will Barton should enjoy a larger workload with Beal sidelined. His next chance to play will come Sunday against the Bucks.

Beal (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Magic.

Beal warmed up ahead of Wednesday's game before being ruled out, so it would seem the star guard has a decent chance to retake the floor Friday. The team will make an official ruling on Beal's status at some point leading up to the 7:00 PM ET tipoff, with Corey Kispert likely starting in his place if he can't play.

Beal (hamstring) will not play Wednesday versus the Suns, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Per Wallace, Beal didn't look particularly mobile while testing it out in warmups, but it's at least a good sign that he gave it a try before taking the night off. He could be back on the floor as soon as Friday in Orlando, but Corey Kispert will replace him in the starting five Wednesday.

Head coach Wes Unseld labeled Beal (hamstring) a game-time decision ahead of Wednesday's clash with the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Unseld's comments butt heads with a report from Shams Charania of The Athletic earlier in the day suggesting he would miss Wednesday's tilt. He's likely a doubtful lean leading up to the opening tip, but it will be worth keeping tabs on his status as the 7 PM ET opening tip draws near.

Beal (hamstring) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Suns and will be day-to-day after receiving an MRI, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Beal is out Wednesday after suffering a left hamstring injury in Tuesday's game against the 76ers. However, there is optimism that he will be available for Friday's matchup with Orlando. Deni Avdija, Corey Kispert and Will Barton are all candidates to see extended minutes in Beal's absence.

Beal (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Beal was unavailable for the final few minutes of Tuesday's win over the 76ers, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for the second half of the back-to-back set. Corey Kispert and Will Barton are candidates to handle increased roles if Beal sits out.

Wizards head coach Wes Unseld Jr. said Beal didn't play the final 4:17 of Tuesday's 116-111 win over the 76ers due to left hamstring soreness, Noah Trister of The Associated Press reports.

Before departing, Beal posted 19 points (8-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt), five assists, two blocks and one rebound in 30 minutes. Though Unseld didn't go into specifics about Beal's hamstring issue, it's possible the 29-year-old is dealing with a compensation injury after he was sidelined for two weeks earlier this month due to a right hamstring strain. More information on Beal's injury should be available leading up to Wednesday's game against the Suns, but it wouldn't be surprising if he sat out the second half of the back-to-back set even if his latest hamstring-related setback isn't considered serious.

Beal had 24 points (10-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 125-111 victory over the Kings.

Beal finished second on Washington with 24 points, marking his fourth straight big scoring performance since returning from a six-game absence due to a hamstring injury. In the four contests since his return, the star guard is averaging 27.5 points, 4.5 assists and 3.5 rebounds per contest. Beal didn't add much in terms of peripheral stats Friday, but he helped his fantasy managers' percentages with an efficient 10-for-16 line from the field.

Beal ended Thursday's 120-112 loss to the Jazz with 30 points (13-20 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and five assists in 31 minutes.

Beal topped 30 points for just the fourth time this season, continuing what has been a nice stretch of games after coming off an injury. Since returning to the court, he has scored at least 27 points in all three games, shooting the ball well from both the field and the charity stripe. He now sits as the 36th-ranked player for the season, right around where he was being drafted.

Beal finished Tuesday's 113-110 victory over the Suns with 27 points (8-20 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 11-14 FT), six rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes.

After going off for 29 points in his return to action Sunday, Beal put together a strong performance despite scoring only two points in the first half. He's yet to regain his three-point stroke, but Beal is getting his sea legs back with a respectable field goal percentage of 43.5 percent since returning to the floor. He also made several trips to the foul line over the past two games, shooting 81.4 percent over a whopping 27 attempts at the charity stripe.

Beal contributed 29 points (9-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 11-13 FT), two rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes during Sunday's 119-117 loss to the Lakers.

Beal returned to action from a nagging hamstring injury, and while he couldn't lead the Wizards to victory in what was the team's 10th straight loss, he looked healthy and delivered a strong scoring performance. Expect Beal to remain Washington's main scoring threat if he stays healthy, which will likely result in fewer touches for Kyle Kuzma and Kristaps Porzingis going forward.

Beal (hamstring) will be available for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

The Wizards tabbed Beal as a game-time decision after his absence Saturday against the Clippers, but the star guard will return to the hardwood here as Washington aims to snap a nine-game losing streak. The return of Beal should provide a gigantic boost to the Wizards offense.

Beal (hamstring) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

Beal logged a full practice Friday and didn't play against the Clippers on Saturday, and while the questionable tag doesn't boost his chances of making a return to the hardwood here, there's a chance he will make his return to action against the Lakers. The Wizards might have chosen to give Beal an extra day to prepare after missing six games in a row.

Beal (hamstring) won't lace up the sneakers Saturday versus the Clippers, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

Beal logged a full practice Friday and was listed as questionable on the injury report, but he will ultimately miss at least one more game. The Wizards play again Sunday, so the staff may be opting to give the veteran an extra 24 hours to prepare.

Beal (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Clippers.

Beal has missed five straight games due to a low-grade hamstring, but he fully participated in practice Wednesday and will have a chance to suit up Saturday afternoon. The star guard's presence would certainly be a boost to the Wizards, who've lost eight straight games, but his return will likely mean less minutes for Corey Kispert, Will Barton and Jordan Goodwin.

Beal (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Beal has been sidelined since Dec. 4 after suffering a low-grade hamstring strain but is approaching a return to game action. His activity level at Friday's practice is certainly an encouraging sign for fantasy managers ahead of Saturday's game against the Clippers. When Beal returns, Corey Kispert, Will Barton and Jordan Goodwin will likely see a decrease in minutes.

Beal (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

Beal continues to deal with a hamstring strain and will be sidelined for a fifth consecutive game. Corey Kispert, Will Barton and Jordan Goodwin should continue to see increased playing time in Beal's absence.

Beal (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Denver.

Beal will have a chance at returning to the court after missing the past four games with a lingering hamstring strain. The Florida product hasn't played since suffering the injury Dec. 4 against the Lakers. Once Beal does return, Corey Kispert will presumably return to the bench.

Beal (hamstring) has begun to participate in on-court activities as part of his recovery process.

Beal was re-evaluated Monday after suffering a hamstring strain early on in December and has made a return to basketball activities but isn't quite ready for game action. Although his absence may be longer than initially expected, he looks to be getting close to making it back onto the hardwood. Corey Kispert has started each of the last three games and should continue to hold Beal's spot until his return.

Beal (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in one week, SShams Charania of The Athletic reports.

After exiting Sunday's loss to the Lakers early with hamstring tightness, Beal will officially miss the next week of action due to the injury. This will mark the second time that the 29-year-old will be forced to miss a decent chunk of games after a quadriceps injury sidelined him for five consecutive contests earlier in the season. During that previous span, Kristpas Porzingis was the team's leading producer, averaging 21.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists across 31.4 minutes per game. The likes of Kyle Kuzma, Deni Avdija and Corey Kispert also figure to receive additional playing time with Beal on the sidelines. The All-Star guard's next chance to return appears to be Dec 12 against the Nets.

Beal left Sunday's game against the Lakers with right hamstring tightness and will not return, Ava Wallace of the Washington Post reports.

Beal started at his usual spot in the backcourt but departed the game early in the first quarter after playing roughly three minutes. The Wizards initially indicated that was questionable to return, but he's since been downgraded -- perhaps due in part to the Wizards trailing by double-digits in the fourth quarter. The good news for Beal is Washington has the next two days off leading up to Wednesday's game at Chicago. He should be considered day-to-day until further notice.

Beal closed with 33 points (12-24 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Friday's 117-116 loss to the Hornets.

Other than a couple crucial turnovers toward the end of the game, Beal had a fantastic night helping lead the Washington comeback in the fourth quarter to almost steal the victory. His 33 points led both teams, and his performance marked the sixth time in seven games he shot at least 50 percent from the field. The three-time NBA All-Star is now averaging 24.1 points, 5.7 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 17 games played this season.

Beal provided 25 points (9-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-9 FT), five rebounds and six assists in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 113-107 loss to the Nets.

Beal's recent performances might be overlooked due to Kristaps Porzingis' impressive efforts and Kyle Kuzma's career-best scoring figures, but Beal continues to be the heart and soul of this team. The veteran shooting guard has scored 20 or more points in 10 games in a row and averaged 25.8 points per game in November, shooting 53 percent from the field and 39.6 percent from deep in that span.

Beal supplied 22 points (9-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, five assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Monday's 142-127 win over the Timberwolves.

Beal is Washington's undisputed go-to player on offense, but he took a backseat in this game since both Kristaps Porzingis and Kyle Kuzma were on fire. As a result, the veteran shooting guard only ended as the Wizards' third-best scorer here. Beal has missed six games this month already, but he's been productive when available. In fact, he's scored at least 20 points in nine games in a row, and he's averaging 25.9 points per game in November.

Beal closed Sunday's 130-121 loss to the Celtics with 30 points (11-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 35 minutes.

Beal reached the 30-point mark for the first time since Oct. 28, and while the star guard has only recorded 30 points twice in the current campaign, his role as the Wizards' go-to player on offense is not under any sort of threat. Beal has already missed six games in November, but when he's been available, he's averaging 26.4 points per contest while shooting 53 percent from the field in the current month.

Beal supplied 28 points (11-20 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal over 38 minutes during Friday's 110-107 loss to the Heat.

Beal (quad) looked fully healthy en route to a huge workload amid a contested battle. He co-led Washington in scoring and assists. To boot, he's scoring efficiently with a stellar 51.6 percent clip from the field through 13 games.

Beal (quadriceps) is will play and start in Friday's game against the Heat.

Beal drew a questionable tag after a one-game absence, but will ultimately get the green light. Barring any setbacks, the Wizards' star guard figures to take on his usual workload in the backcourt.

Wizards coach Wes Unseld Jr. said that Beal (quadriceps) was limited in shootaround and will be a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Heat, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Beal missed Wednesday's game against Miami due to a right quadriceps contusion. If Beal can't play Friday, his next opportunity will be Sunday's contest versus the Celtics.

Beal (quad) is considered questionable to play in Friday's game versus the Heat.

For what it's worth, Beal drew a questionable label leading up to Wednesday's game versus Miami before ultimately being ruled out. If he can't go again, Jordan Goodwin, Anthony Gill and Corey Kispert could see additional minutes, depending on the status of injured teammates Monte Morris (ankle) and Rui Hachimura -- they are also listed as questionable.

Beal (quadriceps) is out Wednesday against the Heat.

Beal, Monte Morris (ankle) and Rui Hachimura (ankle) are sidelined. In their absences, more minutes may be in store for Jordan Goodwin, Anthony Gill and Corey Kispert.

Beal (quadriceps) is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Beal remains listed as questionable for the contest, so there's a chance he'll take the floor against Miami after he was able to participate in Wednesday's shootaround in some capacity. However, if Washington opts to give Beal the night off so the quad contusion can heal, Jordan Goodwin and Will Barton would be in line for increased roles in the Wizards' backcourt.

Beal (quadriceps) partially participated in Wednesday's shootaround, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Beal remains questionable for Wednesday's game against Miami, but it's somewhat encouraging that he was able to get some work in during the Wizards' morning shootaround. Jordan Goodwin and Will Barton are candidates to see increased run if Beal is unable to suit up against the Heat.

Beal (quadriceps) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Beal took a knee to the quad late in Sunday's win over the Hornets. With Monte Morris (ankle) and Rui Hachimura (ankle) also questionable, Washington could be especially shorthanded. An absence from Beal could result in more minutes for Jordan Goodwin, Will Barton and potentially even Johnny Davis.

Beal sustained a quadriceps injury late in Sunday's win over the Hornets, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Beal led the Wizards in playing time Sunday, as he tallied 26 points (11-22 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists, five steals and four rebounds in 41 minutes. However, he took a knee to the quad late in the matchup and will be further evaluated by the team's medical staff. It's unclear whether the issue will impact his availability for Wednesday's matchup against Miami.

Beal supplied 25 points (9-19 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 121-120 loss to Oklahoma City.

After missing five games due to COVID-19 protocols, Beal returned and scored 10 first-quarter points. He went scoreless in the second and third periods but finished strong, scoring 15 points and playing all 12 minutes in the fourth. He's shot well when available and has made 51.2 percent of his shots and 92.7 percent of his free throws through 10 appearances.

Beal is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Thunder, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Beal missed the last five games due to contracting COVID-19 and then returning to game-level conditioning. Beal's return will move Corey Kispert back to the bench.

Beal (conditioning) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

As expected, Beal will return Wednesday after five missed games due to COVID-19 protocols and subsequent conditioning issues. His return will presumably shift Corey Kispert back to the bench. Jordan Goodwin should also see fewer minutes.

Beal (conditioning) is expected to rejoin the action Wednesday versus the Thunder, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Beal was cleared of COVID-19 protocols late last week but was ruled out for the team's weekend clashes, likely for conditioning purposes. However, after a couple of days to get involved in practice ahead of Wednesday, the veteran guard is expected to rejoin the fray and will likely reassume his starting spot. His return will presumably send one of Corey Kispert or Deni Avdija to the bench.

Beal (COVID-19) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.

Wizards coach Wes Unseld had anticipated that Beal was unlikely to face the Grizzlies in an appearance with the media Saturday, and that has now been confirmed. The star guard is recovering his conditioning after dealing with COVID-19, and his next chance to feature will come Wednesday at home against the Thunder.

Wizards coach Wes Unseld said Saturday that he doesn't expect Beal to play in Sunday's game versus the Grizzlies due to conditioning, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Beal is out for Saturday's game and is doubtful to play Sunday while ramping up his conditioning after recovering from COVID-19. Beal's next opportunity to play will be Wednesday's game versus the Thunder.

Beal (COVID-19) has cleared the league's health and safety protocols but will remain sidelined for Saturday's game versus the Jazz, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Beal's absence Saturday is likely due to a lack of practice time and the team being scheduled for back-to-back contests. In any event, the star guard seems likely to rejoin the action Sunday against the Grizzlies, though it remains to be seen what shape his conditioning is in after a week on the sidelines due to illness.

Beal (COVID-19 protocols) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Jazz, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Beal will be unavailable for a fourth consecutive game due to the league's health and safety protocols, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return for Sunday's game against Memphis. Corey Kispert, Will Barton and Rui Hachimura should continue to see increased run in Beal's absence.

Beal (COVID-19 protocols) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Dallas, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Beal remains in the NBA's health and safety protocols and will miss a third straight game. His next chance to suit up will come Saturday against the Jazz, but it's unclear how close he is to a return. In Beal's absence, Corey Kispert, Will Barton and Rui Hachimura should continue garnering increased roles.

Beal (COVID-19 protocols) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hornets.

Beal remains in the league's health and safety protocols and will be unavailable for a second consecutive matchup. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return in time for Thursday's game against Dallas, but Corey Kispert, Will Barton and Monte Morris should see increased run Monday.

Beal entered the NBA's health and safety protocols and won't be available Sunday for the Wizards' game against the Grizzlies.

Though the NBA's current guidelines for players in the COVID-19-related protocols allow for quicker returns to action than in the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons, Beal may end up missing two games even if he's experiencing limited or no symptoms of the virus. After Sunday's contest, the Wizards will complete the second half of a back-to-back set Monday in Charlotte, so Beal could have a tough time gaining clearance in the next 24 hours in order to be available against the Hornets. Following the back-to-back set, the Wizards have off for two days before returning to action Thursday at home versus the Mavericks.

Beal ended with 29 points (11-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds and five assists over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 121-111 victory over Philadelphia.

Beal started slowly Wednesday, going 3-for-8 from the field and scoring nine points. After halftime, he made all but one of his nine field-goal attempts, including his first five shots. He averaged 21.2 shots per game over the previous four seasons but has yet to take more than 18 attempts over the year's first eight contests.

Beal closed with 20 points (7-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one block across 38 minutes during Monday's 118-111 loss to the 76ers.

Although Beal reached the 20-point mark for the fourth time this season, he had another poor shooting display and the inconsistencies continue to plague him. Even though he's made 50.9 percent of his shots this season, that figure falls to 32.4 percent in his last two outings. His role as Washington's top scoring threat is not under question, and the consistency issues shouldn't affect his fantasy status going forward.

Beal tallied 12 points (4-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists, a rebound, a steal and a block in 37 minutes in a 112-94 loss Sunday in Boston.

Beal missed his first 12 shots and was held scoreless in the first half. He finally drained a jumper with 1:04 remaining in the third and went 3-for-3 in the final quarter to salvage the outing. The 29-year-old averaged at least 18 shots per game in each of the last five seasons but is taking just 15 attempts per game through the season's first six contests. His usage as the season progresses is certainly something to monitor.

Beal recorded 31 points (11-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 127-117 loss to Indiana.

Beal was limited by a back problem against the Pistons, but as expected, he was able to resume his full workload against the Pacers and responded with his best scoring output of the campaign. Even though Kyle Kuzma has been Washington's best scorer to begin the year, this is still Beal's team and he should be treated as the team's go-to offensive threat moving forward as long as he's healthy. Through five games, he's averaging 22.6 points while shooting an impressive 59.5 percent from the field.

Beal totaled 13 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and six assists over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 120-99 victory over Detroit.

Beal dealt with a back injury throughout the game and that should explain his low minute count, but the fact that he returned to action should quiet any concern with his health moving forward. This was not his best fantasy output, but he shouldn't have restrictions when the Wizards take on the Pacers on Friday.

Beal (back) returned to Tuesday's matchup with the Pistons in the third quarter, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Beal's return will quiet the worries of any injury moving forward. The Wizards could play it cautious with Beal while it's still early in the season, but the star guard shouldn't miss much, if any time.

Beal (back) is questionable to return in Tuesday's game versus the Pistons.

Beal exited Tuesday's game late in the first quarter due to back tightness. Beal was not seen limping off the court and does not appear to have any serious injury. Will Barton, Delon Wright, and potentially even Johnny Davis could see extended minutes if Beal misses any time.

Beal registered 19 points (9-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound, eight assists and two blocks across 37 minutes during Friday's 102-100 victory over the Bulls.

Beal was the absolute hero for the Wizards on Friday, as he drained the game-winning shot with less than five seconds in the fourth quarter. It's not unusual to see him score close to 20 points on a regular basis, but he's been thriving as a playmaker as well with 14 assists combined over his first two appearances.

Beal scored 23 points (9-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six assisted, five rebounds and one block across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 114-107 win over Indiana.

Beal was efficient from the field all night until the fourth quarter, in which he went 0-for-3 from three. He paced the Wizards with 13 first-half points on 6-of-10 shooting while also dishing out two big assists to Kyle Kuzma for three in the first quarter to give Washington an early 18-9 lead. Beal added another four assists in the second half along with a timely block on an Aaron Nesmith layup attempt with just 32 seconds left in the game.

Beal recorded 16 points (6-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, five assists and three steals through 30 minutes during Friday's 105-89 loss to the Knicks.

Beal (illness) had missed Washington's prior two preseason games, but he co-led the Wizards in playing time Friday. A limited preseason combined with many new faces in Beal's supporting cast could result in a slow start to the season, but it at least appears that Beal is 100 percent for the season opener against the Pacers on Wednesday.

Beal will likely not play his full amount of minutes in Friday's preseason game versus the Knicks, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Beal has missed the Wizards' last two preseason games due to strep throat. However, Beal will play in Friday's preseason finale in limited minutes. Beal should be good to go for next Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Pacers and is a consistent high-scoring guard in all fantasy formats.

Coach Wes Unseld said Thursday that he expects Beal to be available for Friday's preseason finale against the Knicks, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Beal was out for Monday's exhibition game against Charlotte due to a non-COVID illness, but he was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session and should be able to suit up for the Wizards' final preseason game. The 29-year-old should be fully available for Washington's regular-season opener against the Pacers on Wednesday.

Beal (illness) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Beal was briefly in the league's health and safety protocols, but he was removed after his illness was determined to be non-COVID related. He remained out for Monday's preseason contest due to the illness, but it appears he's moved past the issue completely and should be full go moving forward. Given his full participation at practice Wednesday, it seems likely he'll get some run in during Friday's preseason finale against the Knicks to regain his conditioning ahead of the regular season.

Beal cleared the league's health and safety protocols but will remain out for Monday's preseason game against the Hornets due to a non-COVID illness.

The specifics of the situation remains unclear, but it appears like this is an encouraging update for the superstar shooting guard. He'll have one more opportunity to play during the preseason -- Friday against the Knicks -- before the Wizards open the regular season against the Pacers on Oct. 19.

Beal has entered the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols and won't play against the Hornets on Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

The loss of Beal certainly hurts the Wizards, but it's only preseason and chances are he wasn't going to see heavy minutes, either. With Beal not playing against the Hornets and possibly more, Will Barton and Delon Wright might see more time in the upcoming contests, though Beal should be recovered for Opening Night against the Pacers on Oct. 19.

Beal won't play Sunday against the Warriors since will receive rest from the coaching staff, according to Ava Wallace of The Washington Post.

Beal underwent season-ending surgery in February to address a left wrist injury, and even though he only recorded 18 minutes in the preseason opener, that should be enough to suggest he's healthy entering the upcoming campaign. The Wizards are not looking to deal with any risks regarding his availability, so with that in mind, resting him represents an intelligent decision.

Beal (wrist) recorded nine points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and two steals in 18 minutes during Friday's preseason game against the Warriors in Japan.

Beal underwent season-ending surgery in February to address a left wrist injury, but the fact that he was able to play in the Wizards' preseason opener suggests that the guard is fully healthy ahead of the regular season. Despite not receiving a full complement of minutes Friday -- which was to be expected -- Beal's participation bodes well for his availability going forward as he looks to bounce back in 2022-23. In 40 appearances last season, Beal averaged 23.2 points, 6.6 assists and 4.7 rebounds across 36.0 minutes per game.

Beal and the Wizards came to terms Thursday on a five-year, $251 million max contract, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

As had been widely speculated in recent weeks, Beal will accept the five-year max from Washington and remain with the Wizards -- at least for the time being. The star guard has never asked for a trade out of Washington, but he's one of a handful of players the rest of the league will continue to monitor. Assuming he sticks in Washington next season, Beal will look to bounce back from a disappointing 2021-22 campaign that was ultimately cut short (40 games played) by left wrist surgery in February. Prior to the procedure, Beal averaged only 23.2 points per game on 45.1 percent shooting -- this after he posted a career-best 31.3 points per game on 48.5 percent shooting in 2020-21.

Beal (wrist) declined his $36.4 million player option Wednesday, making him a free agent, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Beal is eligible to sign a five-year max deal to return to Washington, or he can sign with another team on a four-year contract. Rumors seem to indicate Beal is interested in remaining with the Wizards and taking the most money possible. He's coming off a down year where he struggled shooting relative to his standards, averaging 23.2 points on 45.1 percent from the field and 30.0 percent from deep. He also appeared in just 40 games and underwent season-ending wrist surgery in early February.

Beal is expected to undergo season-ending surgery on his left wrist, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Beal missed four consecutive games, and was slated to miss a fifth, since initially suffering the injury at the end of January. The veteran guard immediately saw a specialist in New York City, which quickly raised alarms, and those concerns didn't dissipate as Beal continued to rack up absences without further clarification. Aaron Holiday has started in place of Beal in each of the last four games and will likely continue to see an increased workload for the remainder of the season. However, the Wizards will likely need Spencer Dinwiddie to get back on track if they have any hopes of sticking in the playoff picture without their best player. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Beal is eligible to sign a five-year, $245 million contract extension with the Wizards this summer, but the wrist injury certainly throws a wrench into that conversation. If an extension isn't reached his offseason, Beal will have a decision to make regarding his $36.4 million player option for the 2022-23 campaign.

Beal will remain out for Thursday's game versus Brooklyn, and the Wizards are continuing to explore various treatment options for the shooting guard's sprained left wrist, including surgery, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Evaluations of Beal's wrist remain ongoing more than a week after the Wizards initially shut him down with the injury. He'll be sidelined for a fifth straight game Thursday, and even if the Wizards are able to definitely rule out surgery for Beal, his absence will likely be extended into next week, if not through the All-Star break. Aaron Holiday has started in place of Beal for the past four games but hasn't offered much from a fantasy perspective with averages of 7.5 points, 2.5 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 21.8 minutes.

Beal (wrist) met with a specialist regarding his injured left wrist Tuesday and will be re-evaluated in approximately one week, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

It's a bad sign that Beal had to meet with a specialist in New York City outside of the Wizards' organization, so it won't be surprising if his absence extends past one week. He's dealing with persistent swelling and pain. Aaron Holiday got the start Tuesday and could remain in the lineup for the duration of Beal's absence.

Beal will be sidelined for at least the Wizards' next two games due to a sprained left wrist, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

Beal apparently sustained the injury during Saturday's blowout loss to Memphis, which he finished with just nine points on 2-of-11 shooting in 35 minutes. The star guard will miss both halves of the Wizards' Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back set, so the soonest he could be back would be Saturday's home matchup against the Suns. Considering the Wizards have only three games on their Week 16 schedule, Beal should probably be pulled from lineups in most weekly leagues.

Beal had nine points (2-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds, 12 assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Saturday's 115-95 loss to Memphis.

Beal had one of his worst shooting performances of the season, as he knocked down only two of his 11 shot attempts and finished below 10 points for the first time on the campaign. However, he partly made up for the subpar shooting by dishing 12 dimes -- his highest mark since Jan. 1. Beal has blossomed as a distributor this season, averaging a career-best 6.6 assists per game.

Beal closed with 23 points (8-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one steal over 40 minutes during Tuesday's 116-115 loss to the Clippers.

Beal scored 20-plus points for the third time in his last four games and fell one rebound shy of notching his second double-double of the season. Over his last four games, he has averaged 22.5 points, 7.5 assists, 5.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 37.0 minutes. He'll look to continue his strong play during Washington's upcoming three-game road trip.

Beal chipped in 25 points (10-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and eight assists over 40 minutes during Friday's 109-105 loss to Toronto.

Aside from a 13-point game against the Sixers on Jan. 17, Beal continues to shine as a scoring weapon for the Wizards and has been remarkably consistent -- he has scored at least 20 points in all but two games since Dec. 6. He's averaged 26.1 points per game while shooting 48.9 percent from the field in that stretch. His role as Washington's go-to player on offense is not under any sort of question, but the efficiency levels are certainly impressive.

Beal finished Wednesday's 119-118 loss to the Nets with 23 points (7-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals over 37 minutes.

Beal led Washington in scoring as well as assists -- including a dime to Kyle Kuzma which made it a one-point game with under a minute to play. Even amid a moderately efficient night, Beal logged a team-worst minus-11 in the box score. He's in a mini-slump, shooting just 36.5 percent from the field over his previous three games. He'll look to breakout against Toronto on Friday.

Beal contributed 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one block in 33 minutes during Monday's 117-98 win over the 76ers.

Making his return after a three-game COVID-19 absence, Beal was back in the starting lineup at shooting guard, sending rookie Corey Kispert to the bench. Beal was relatively quiet in his 33 minutes -- he failed to reach 20 points for the first time since Dec. 13 -- though it's very possible he was battling some conditioning issues, as he was a game-time call leading up to tip-off. With an off day Tuesday, expect Beal to be in action again Wednesday against the Nets.

Beal (COVID-19 protocols) will be available for Monday's game against the 76ers, Wizards insider Quinton Mayo reports.

Beal was initially deemed a game-time call, but the Wizards have since clarified that the star guard will be available for the first time in more than a week. Expect Beal to be in the starting five at his usual shooting guard spot.

Beal (COVID-19 protocols) is considered a game-time decision for Monday's matchup against the 76ers, Wizards insider Quinton Mayo reports.

The good news is Beal has officially cleared protocols, so it's likely a matter of whether or not his conditioning is strong enough for him to play after missing the Wizards' last three contests. Prior to entering protocols, Beal strung together a six-game stretch in which he averaged 27.3 points, 8.8 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 2.2 threes (36.1% 3Pt) across 36.7 minutes per contest.

The Wizards list Beal (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) as questionable for Monday's game against the 76ers.

Though Beal hasn't yet cleared the protocols, the Wizards' decision to bump him up from "out" to "questionable" on the official injury report suggests he'll have a chance to do so prior to the game's 2 p.m. tipoff. Beal has missed the Wizards' last three games while in the protocols, so even if he's cleared to play, there's a chance head coach Wes Unseld Jr. could look to restrict his minutes to some extent while he works to regain conditioning.

Beal has re-entered the NBA's health and safety protocols and won't play Tuesday against the Thunder, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Beal was sidelined from Dec. 19 to Dec. 30 during his first stint in protocols, but he returned to score 20-plus points in six straight games. His absence -- regardless of how long -- will be a big blow to the Wizards who are fighting to stay in playoff contention. Corey Kispert, Aaron Holiday, Deni Avdija and Davis Bertans will likely all be candidates for increased roles during the duration of Beal's absence.

Beal posted 27 points (9-25 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 114-111 loss to the Rockets.

Beal fouling out after just 30 minutes denotes Wednesday as an outlier, but Beal still attempted his most field goals since late October. Despite the volume, Beal snapped a 10 game streak of at least 40 percent shooting from the field. Nonetheless, his plus-1 in the box score was the best of any Wizards starter. Beal will look to assemble a full showing Friday against the Bulls.

Beal recorded 35 points (11-22 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 10-11 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and one block across 43 minutes during Monday's 124-121 victory over the Hornets.

Beal is in the midst of a dominant three game stretch, averaging 30.3 points and 11.7 assists with very few turnovers. It is worth noting that Beal is having a career-worst season from beyond the arc, connecting on only 28.1 percent of his attempts. He hasn't lived up to his ADP, but Beal can be regarded as a top-five asset at the shooting guard position moving forward.

Beal chipped in 27 points (8-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 11-13 FT), two rebounds, 17 assists and four steals across 43 minutes during Saturday's 120-119 loss to Chicago.

Beal didn't have his best shooting performance, but he excelled as a playmaker and recorded double-digit dimes for the second straight game -- and for the third time over his last six appearances. While his role as Washington's main scoring threat is not under any sort of question, as evidenced by the fact that he's surpassed the 25-point mark in five straight contests, his emergence as a playmaking threat should boost his upside even further thanks to the uptick in usage rate that comes with being the main scorer and playmaker at the same time.

Beal had 29 points (13-23 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Thursday's 110-93 victory over the Cavaliers.

Beal did not play in any of the Wizards' previous three games while in COVID-19 protocols, but he showed little rust in his return to the court. The star guard led Washington in scoring in the contest, knocking down an efficient 13 of 23 field-goal tries. Beal also tied a season high with 10 assists -- also a team-high mark -- to finish with his third double-double of the campaign. Now that he has cleared protocols, Beal should reclaim his role as the Wizards' top offensive threat and as one of fantasy's most productive guards.

Beal (COVID-19 protocols) has officially been cleared to play Thursday against the Cavaliers, Ava Wallace of the Washington Post reports.

Beal hasn't played since Dec. 18 following a stint in protocols, but he officially tested out Thursday and will be set to play his first game in nearly two weeks. The star guard began the season unvaccinated, but he recently received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, which should bode well for his long-term availability -- especially with Washington D.C. implementing a city-wide vaccine requirement for indoor facilities, such as the Wizards' home arena. Had Beal not received the vaccine, he likely would have been barred from playing in any home games beginning Jan. 15.

Beal (COVID-19 protocols) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.

Beal has missed the last three games due to the league's health and safety protocols but has a chance to return to the court Thursday after the NBA shortened the isolation period for players who test positive for the virus. If he's unable to play, Corey Kispert should continue to see additional playing time.

Beal has been sidelined for Washington's last three games while in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, but he could be eligible to play as soon as Thursday's game against the Cavaliers after the NBA shortened the isolation period for vaccinated players who test positive for the virus from 10 to six days, Tim Reynolds of The Associated Press reports.

Aside from Kyrie Irving, Beal was one of the league's more prominent players who disclosed prior to the season that he was unvaccinated, but the 28-year-old appears to have changed his stance on that front. Citing multiple sources, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reported Tuesday that Beal has since received at least one dose of the vaccine, though it's unclear when he received the shot. Assuming Beal is in the health and safety protocols due to a positive test, he would be eligible to play Thursday if he's been asymptomatic while in isolation. Beal's decision to receive the vaccine should also help his chances of avoiding further missed games; effective Jan. 15, Washington D.C. will implement a citywide vaccine requirement for indoor entertainment facilities, including the Wizards' Capital One Arena.

Beal (COVID-19 protocols) remains out Tuesday against the Heat, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Beal was initially questionable but his return will be postponed until Thursday at the earliest, when the Wizards face the Cavaliers. In the meantime, Spencer Dinwiddie should continue to see more usage, while Corey Kispert is expected to draw another start.

Beal (COVID-19 protocols) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

Coach Wes Unseld is hopeful that Beal will be available Tuesday, and his questionable designation signals that he has a chance to return. He's been in the league's health and safety protocols since Thursday, and Spencer Dinwiddie should see increased run Tuesday if Beal is unable to return.

Coach Wes Unseld said Monday that he is hopeful Beal (COVID-19 protocols) will be available for Tuesday's contest against the Heat, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Beal has been in the league's health and safety protocols since Thursday and missed the Wizards' last two contests. If he's unable to return Tuesday, then Spencer Dinwiddie and Aaron Holiday are expected to continue handling the majority of the ball-handling and playmaking duties.

Beal was placed in COVID-19 protocols Thursday.

Beal will miss Thursday's game against the Knicks and likely more games going forward. In his absence, Spencer Dinwiddie should take on more offensive responsibilities. Aaron Holiday, Raul Neto and Corey Kispert also figure to see upticks in workload.

Beal and the Wizards will not play their scheduled game against the Nets on Tuesday after it was postponed, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

The Nets currently have nine players in the NBA's Covid protocol and an additional four players on the injury report. As a result, the NBA has decided to postpone their next two games, which includes Tuesday's matchup against the Wizards. Beal and the team will now have five days off in between games as they'll look ahead to Thursday's meeting against the Knicks.

Beal finished Saturday's 109-103 win over the Jazz with 37 points (13-24 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-10 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one block in 36 minutes.

Beal simply carried Washington offensively in the victory over one of the league's top teams, posting a season-high 37 points while none of his teammates scored more than 15. The star guard also paced the Wizards with seven assists and chipped in five boards. Though Beal's scoring has been down this season, he has been heating up of late, posting 27.4 points on 53.5 percent shooting over his past seven contests.

Beal finished Thursday's 118-98 loss to the Suns with 26 points (11-18 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal in 31 minutes.

Beal was one of the few bright spots for a Washington team that dropped its fourth straight game. The star guard was the only Wizards player with at least 20 points, and he reached that mark with an efficient 11-for-18 line from the field. Beal's scoring is on the rise -- he is averaging 25.8 points on 53.4 percent shooting from the field over his past six games.

Beal supplied 30 points (13-24 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 119-105 loss to the Kings.

Beal led all players in scoring in the contest, registering his second game of at least 30 points since Nov. 20. He also knocked down multiple three-pointers for the second straight game after failing to do so in his previous eight contests. Beal is the unquestioned focal point of Washington's offense, though his 22.7 points per game is considerably lower than the 31.3 points per contest he registered last season.

Beal provided 19 points (8-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists and one block in 39 minutes during Monday's 113-107 loss to the Nuggets.

The Wizards struggled for most of the contest -- they trailed by 21 after three quarters and needed a final-period surge to make the score respectable -- but Beal did his part to keep his teammates involved, dishing a season-high 10 dimes to register his second double-double of the campaign. The star guard also knocked down multiple three-pointers for the first time in nine games, though he had a three-game streak of 20-plus points snapped. Beal's 22.4 points per contest is a significant dropoff from the 31.3 mark he posted last season, but his assists are up and Washington has been far more successful as a team. That is certainly a positive tradeoff for Wizards fans, though not for Beal's fantasy managers.

Beal finished Saturday's blowout loss to the Jazz with 21 points (9-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and a steal in 34 minutes of action.

Despite eclipsing the 20-point mark for a third consecutive game, Beal did not have a spectacular night as he also had six turnovers, which tied his season high. Beal also only got to the free throw line twice and is averaging more than three fewer free throws per game than he did last season. That, along with the fact that his shooting percentages are also down from a year ago are a major reason why he is averaging nearly nine points per game less than he did a season ago. The 28-year-old currently averages 22.5 points, 5.7 assists and 4.8 rebounds in 35.9 minutes per game and will certainly have some added pressure on him to pick up his scoring with Kyle Kuzma out the next 10 days after being placed in the NBA's health and safety protocol.

Beal chipped in 25 points (10-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-8 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal over 43 minutes during Wednesday's 119-116 overtime win over Detroit. He also had four turnovers.

Beal has combined for 59 points over his past two games (22-of-38 shooting), averaging over 40 minutes per contest. In a noteworthy play, Beal was pressed into a backcourt violation near the end of regulation, allowing the Pistons to force overtime. However, his night was avenged by a Wizards' victory. Beal is in another boom spot against the Jazz on Saturday.

Beal registered 34 points (12-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-10 FT), two rebounds and four assists across 39 minutes during Monday's 116-110 loss to Indiana.

Excluding a 12-of-32 shooting performance (36 points) in October, Beal recorded his best game of the season. Beal is shooting 43.7 percent from the field this season -- his lowest mark since 2014/15. A career-worst 26.6 clip from three is certainly part of the issue. Managers could look to sell high, but he's a proven scorer, currently in the top-20 for points per game, averaging 22.5.

Beal ended with 19 points (8-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Wednesday's victory over the Timberwolves.

After six consecutive 20-point games, Beal has now failed to hit the 20-point mark in two straight contests. However, the three-time all-star made plays for his teammates by nearly notching a double-double while tying his season high in assists. Beal is now averaging a solid 21.2 points, 6.2 assists and 4.4 rebounds in his last five games.

Beal supplied 18 points (8-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and eight assists over 36 minutes during Monday's 116-99 loss to the Spurs.

Monday marked Beal's worst stat line since last week's loss to Charlotte. Even though he paced the team in scoring, Beal depends on an excellent field-goal conversion rate to get things done. Fortunately, an eight-assist night helped to salvage his total for fantasy managers.

Beal racked up 26 points (10-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Saturday's 120-114 victory over the Mavericks.

Beal and Kyle Kuzma tied for the team lead with 14 shot attempts, and the former paced Washington with 26 points thanks to his efficient effort from the field. Beal contributed a club-leading seven assists and two steals as well. He has topped the 20-point mark in six of his past seven games and ranks 15th in the league with 23.2 points per contest overall.

Beal finished Friday's 101-99 win over the Thunder with 20 points (8-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and six assists in 37 minutes.

Beal missed two games earlier this month but hasn't missed a beat and has scored at least 20 points in five of his last six appearances. One of the most gifted pure scorers in the league, the star shooting guard has not been able to repeat last season's impressive numbers but remains Washington's main scoring threat. He's averaging 22.5 points per game during the current month.

Beal provided 23 points (11-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 127-102 loss to the Pelicans.

Beal was 13-for-35 from the field over the previous two games but had an efficient shooting performance Wednesday. However, the single assist was a season low and broke a streak of eight games in which he had at least five dimes.

Beal added 18 points (5-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine assists, seven rebounds, one steal and one block during Monday's loss against the Hornets.

Beal struggled mightily overall from the field once again, this time shooting just 27.8 percent. However, the former Florida Gator still managed to finish second on the team in scoring though, as it was his fourth straight outing reaching the 18-point mark. Over his last four games played, Beal is draining just 33.3 percent from beyond the arc, but he's still averaging a not-too-shabby 23.3 points during that span.

Beal finished with 30 points (11-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Thursday's 112-97 loss to the Heat.

Beal has now scored at least 30 points in two of his last four games, and his role as Washington's top threat on offense is completely safe. Even though he's not posting the same scoring numbers he had last season, when he finished as the league's second-best scorer with 31.3 points per contest, he remains an elite scoring threat but has also shown the ability to do more than just scoring. He's averaging a career-high 5.3 rebounds per game this season.

Beal produced 24 points (9-20 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Hornets.

After missing the previous two games due to personal reasons, Beal was able to set a new season-high of five three-pointers, which is a great sign as the 28-year-old had greatly struggled shooting the ball prior to tonight. Through 10 games this season, Beal had shot just 25.0 percent from deep leaving plenty of room for improvement. Beal is now averaging 24.8 points, 6.1 assists and 5.3 rebounds across his last eight games.

Beal (personal) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game at Charlotte.

A personal matter kept Beal out of the last two games, but his removal from the report is an indication that he'll be back in the lineup Wednesday night. Over his last six appearances, Beal is averaging 24.5 points, 6.3 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 1.8 threes in 36.7 minutes.

Beal (personal) is out against the Pelicans on Monday.

A personal issue will force Beal to sit out at least one more Wizards game. Aaron Holiday logged a start during Beal's absence Saturday (at Orlando) and could do so again Monday.

Beal is out for personal reasons Saturday against the Magic, Chris Miller of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Beal will not play this weekend as he mourns the passing of his grandmother. In his absence, Aaron Holiday and Raul Neto should see extra minutes in the backcourt.

Beal managed 13 points (4-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven assists and seven rebounds across 34 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers.

Shooting-wise, Beal struggled mightily in this one while Montrezl Harrell paced the team with 24 points. After the game, it was revealed that Beal's grandmother passed away on Tuesday, and Beal admitted himself that he wasn't in the game mentally. He'll look to get back on track when the Wizards face the Magic on Saturday.

Beal posted 30 points (14-22 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and a block across 37 minutes in Sunday's win over the Bucks.

Beal reached the 30-point mark just for the second time this season, an oddity considering he has averaged over 30 points per game in each of his last two campaigns, but it's worth mentioning this was easily his best game of the season. Aside from being effective from the field, Beal also matched his season-high mark in assists and ended just two away from posting his second double-double of the current season.

Beal posted 17 points (7-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven assists and three rebounds across 27 minutes in Friday's win over Memphis.

Beal was one of seven Washington players that scored in double digits in this game, but this performance was a bit disappointing considering how the veteran guard has been playing of late. Beal had scored at least 24 points in four straight contests before Friday, and while the 17-point haul was Beal's lowest tally of the campaign, his role as Washington's main scoring threat shouldn't be under any sort of question.

Beal recorded 25 points (8-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, one steal and a block in Wednesday's loss to the Raptors.

Beal led the Wizards in scoring but was unable to propel the team to a victory on Wednesday. While he did manage to surpass the 20-point mark for a fourth consecutive game, his shooting percentage has been uncharacteristically low thus far for a player of his talent. Through six games this season, he's averaging 24.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.8 steals across 36.5 minutes per game.

Beal mustered 27 points (11-26 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and a block across 38 minutes in Thursday's win over Atlanta.

Beal hasn't been scoring at his usual standards this season, and in fact, this was the first game in which he surpassed the 25-point mark. While the season is just starting and Beal has plenty of time to turn things around, his shooting woes are worrisome. He's making just 35.9 percent of his shots through his first four appearances.

Beal scored 17 points (7-25 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and added 10 rebounds, three steals, two rebounds and one block in 35 minutes of Wednesday's win over the Celtics.

Beal struggled shooting the ball which has been a consistent theme throughout his first three games this season. He is now averaging 19.7 points while shooting just 33.3 percent from the field and 16.0 percent from deep. This has been an uncharacteristic start to the season for Beal who is a 35.1 percent shooter from three in his career. The fact that he has still been able to average nearly 20 points despite his shooting woes shows he is still capable of repeating his output from last season where he averaged 31.3 points.

Beal posted 19 points (8-22 FG, 3-13 3Pt), four assists and three rebounds during Monday's 104-90 loss to the Nets. He also had five turnovers.

Beal uncharacteristically did not attempt a free-throw. The lack of explosiveness could signal that he may not have been perfectly healthy (hip). Beal is also 1-of-19 from three in two contests he's suited up for. His next opportunity to establish a rhythm comes Wednesday versus the Celtics.

Beal (hip/groin) is available for Monday's game against the Nets, freelance NBA reporter Quinton Mayo reports.

Beal was unavailable for Friday's win over the Pacers but returned to practice in a limited capacity Sunday. The 28-year-old totaled 23 points, four assists, four steals and three rebounds in 34 minutes during his first appearance of the season.

The Wizards list Beal as questionable for Monday's game against the Nets with a right hip contusion.

Beal sat out Friday's 135-134 win over the Pacers due to the hip injury, but he was able to practice Sunday on a limited basis. Though head coach Wes Unseld Jr. expressed confidence that Beal would be ready to play Monday, the star shooting guard's status apparently isn't locked in yet. The Wizards may want to re-evaluate Beal during morning shootaround, and assuming his hip isn't bothering him too much, he should gain clearance ahead of Monday's 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff.

Beal (groin) is probable Monday at Brooklyn, according to Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington.

Though he did not participate during all of Wizards practice Sunday, the team expects him to be available against an excellent Nets group.

Beal (groin) is out Friday against the Pacers.

Beal's absence should open up more backcourt and wing minutes for Aaron Holiday, Raul Neto, Corey Kispert and Deni Avdija. Spencer Dinwiddie and Kyle Kuzma also figure to take on increased offensive responsibilities.

Beal (groin) is trending towards being out for Friday's game against the Pacers, freelance NBA reporter Quinton Mayo reports.

Beal is reportedly dealing with more of a groin injury than a hip injury, and he'll test things out one more time before tipoff to determine his status. If the elite scoring guard sits out, more usage would be available for Spencer Dinwiddie, Kyle Kuzma, Raul Neto and other guards.

Beal is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Pacers due to a bruised right hip.

Beal has emerged from the season opener with a bruised hip after posting 23 points, four rebounds, four steals and three rebounds in 34 minutes. If he sits out Friday, more touches would be available for Spencer Dinwiddie, Aaron Holiday Raul Neto and Kyle Kuzma.

Beal recorded 23 points (7-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 8-8 F)T, four assists, four steals and three rebounds across 34 minutes in Wednesday's win over Toronto.

Beal finished last season as the second-best scorer in The Association, and his scoring numbers should experience an uptick this year considering Russell Westbrook is out of the picture. He was the unquestioned go-to player on offense for the Wizards in the season opener and that role shouldn't change as long as he remains healthy.

Beal (knee) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

As expected, Beal will be fine for the opener after injuring his knee during the Wizards' final preseason game. He's coming off a second straight season scoring 30-plus points per game.

The X-ray on Beal's knee came back negative Monday, and he appears to be fine for Wednesday's regular-season opener, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Beal injured his knee during Friday's exhibition match with the Knicks, but he was able to return to practice Sunday in a limited fashion. Barring a setback, the star guard will likely be in the starting lineup during the Wizards' regular-season opener against the Raptors on Wednesday.

Beal (knee) was an active participant during team practice Sunday, according to Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington.

Beal was able to run and shoot the ball at his own pace. Though not 100 percent ready, Beal's recent progress indicates he is gradually becoming an available option Wednesday at Toronto.

Beal (knee) is getting treatment Saturday with the hope of practicing Sunday, David Aldridge of The Athletic reports.

Beal suffered a bruised knee during Friday's exhibition. It doesn't sound like the injury is serious, but there's no guarantee that he'll be able to play in Wednesday's opener against the Raptors. His status should continue to be updated in the coming days.

Beal will not return to Friday's exhibition matchup with the Knicks due to a knee contusion, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

There is no word on the severity of the issue, but the Wizards are presumably exercision caution with their star guard in its final preseason game. He compiled five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3PT, one rebound and two assists across nine minutes before exiting the contest. The Wizards open the regular season Wednesday against the Raptors.

Beal revealed Monday that he is not vaccinated and said that the decision is personal, Ava Wallace of the Washington Post reports.

While this could create some headaches for the Wizards organization in terms of following the league's protocols for unvaccinated players, the good news is that Washington D.C. -- unlike New York City and San Francisco -- does not have a vaccine mandate, so Beal's status for home games will not be in jeopardy. The league would certainly prefer to have all of its players vaccinated -- especially big names like Beal -- but as of now, it is not a requirement. As such, Beal's status as an unvaccinated player doesn't really affect his fantasy value, though it's possible he could be at elevated risk of missing games due to COVID-19 protocols.

Beal (COVID-19 protocols) will not play in the Olympics, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Beal was placed in COVID-19 protocols Wednesday, and the development has led to him being unable to play in the Olympics. He'll presumably be replaced on the roster. Jerami Grant also joined Beal in COVID protocols, so his status is somewhat murky as well. However, Grant has not tested positive.

Team USA is working to replace Beal (COVID-19 protocols) on the Olympic roster, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Beal remains in COVID-19 protocols at Team USA camp, but this latest report would seem to imply that he's expected to miss enough time that it affect his status for the Games, which get underway from Tokyo next week. It's also possible Team USA will need to find a replacement for Jerami Grant, who joined Beal in COVID-19 protocols on Thursday.

Beal has entered COVID-19 protocols at Team USA camp and it's unclear when he'll be able to return, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Beal scored 17 points in Tuesday's exhibition win over Argentina, but his return-to-play status is now unclear after he landed in the health and safety protocols Wednesday. It's highly unlikely that Beal will be available for either of Team USA's two remaining exhibition games, and his status for the Tokyo Games will now depend on whether he is cleared prior to July 24.

Beal tallied 32 points (10-23 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 10-10 FT), seven rebounds and five assists in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 129-112 loss to the 76ers.

The 27-year-old delivered another heroic effort Wednesday, leading both teams in points while going a perfect 10-of-10 from the charity stripe. Despite losing the playoff series to Philadelphia, Beal averaged an impressive 30.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.4 three-pointers and 0.8 steals over five playoff games. The ninth-year guard goes into the offseason with two years remaining on his original five-year/$127 million contract with the Washington Wizards.

Beal registered 27 points (9-23 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and a steal across 43 minutes in Monday's Game 4 win over the 76ers.

Beal emerged as the leading scorer for the Wizards in a game where Russell Westbrook struggled mightily from the floor, but that shouldn't be a surprise considering the star shooting guard ended the regular season as the second-best scorer in the entire Association. Beal has scored at least 25 points in every game of the series thus far, though the efficiency from long range remains a concern since he's made just 20 percent of his three-point attempts despite shooting 46 percent from the field.

Beal notched 25 points (10-26 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block across 37 minutes in Saturday's loss to the 76ers.

Beal struggled in terms of efficiency and needed 26 shots to deliver 25 points, but he has now reached that mark in each of his last four contests and has also gone 11 games in a row with 20 or more points. Beal is averaging 27.6 points per game while shooting 47.1 percent from the field across his five postseason appearances this season including the play-in tournament.

Beal had 33 points (14-28 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds and three assists in Wednesday's Game 2 loss to Philadelphia.

Beal also put up 33 points in Washington's Game 1 loss, and once again it wasn't enough, as the Wizards shot just 40.2 percent from the field as a team while hitting only two of their 22 three-point attempts. Beal accounted for one of those makes, but he's now just 2-of-12 from beyond the arc for the series.

Beal had 33 points (13-23 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and one steal in Sunday's Game 1 loss to the Sixers.

As usual, Beal led the way in the scoring column, and he was the only Wizards player to record more than 16 points. Beal struggled from beyond the arc but hit 12-of-17 attempts from two-point range while knocking down all six of his free throws. Washington will continue to lean heavily on Beal for the rest of the series, which continues with Game 2 on Wednesday night.

Beal produced 25 points (9-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and a blocked shot across 28 minutes in Thursday's 142-115 win over the Pacers.

Beal's numbers would have been much higher, but the starters became an afterthought after they stretched their lead in the third quarter. It was a great bounce-back game for Beal, who had one of his worst performances over the past month in a loss to the Celtics. The team faces a stern test against the Sixers in the first round, but Philadelphia's shutdown defense is far more effective against opposing frontcourts. Beal and Westbrook have a fighting chance if they continue playing at a high level.

Beal had just 22 points (10-25 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT) to go with nine rebounds and six assists in Tuesday's play-in loss to Boston.

The Wizards needed Beal to carry the load on offense and he wasn't able to do so, as he went just 1-of-6 from three-point range while getting to the line only twice in 36 minutes. The Wizards will now play host to Indiana on Thursday with the eighth seed in the East -- and a Round 1 matchup with the Sixers -- on the line.

Beal (hamstring) will not be on a minutes limit Tuesday against the Celtics, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Beal avoided a setback during his 35 minutes of run in his return, and he'll be without a minutes limit for the play-in game. He struggled during his return, however, going just 8-for-27 from the field. He'll look to turn that around Tuesday.

Beal said he experienced no setbacks with his strained left hamstring in his return from a three-game absence during Sunday's 115-110 win over the Hornets, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

Though Beal acknowledged he was less than 100 percent Sunday and called his first-half performance "rough," he ultimately looked more comfortable as the game unfolded. He ended up playing 35 minutes in the win, finishing with 25 points (8-27 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal. He's not expected to face any restrictions Tuesday, when the eighth-seeded Wizards head to seventh-seeded Boston to play their first game of the Eastern Conference play-in tournament.

Beal amassed 25 points (8-27 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Sunday's 115-110 victory over the Hornets.

Beal returned on Sunday, helping the Wizards to a crucial comeback victory over the Hornets. The win cements the eighth seed for the Wizards, something that seemed unlikely just a couple of months ago. The fact Beal was able to play 35 minutes indicates he should be fine moving forward. Coming up against an undermanned Celtics team for a spot in the playoffs is certainly a game that is there for the taking.

Beal (hamstring) will play Sunday against the Hornets, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Beal will return after a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury. The shooting guard trails Stephen Curry by 0.4 points in the scoring race going into the final game of the season.

Beal (hamstring) is a game-time decision for Sunday's game against Charlotte.

Beal has been sidelined for the last three games with a hamstring injury, but he still has a chance to return for the final game of the regular season. If he returns, Chandler Hutchison and Anthony Gill could see fewer minutes.

Beal (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Hornets.

A strained left hamstring has kept Beal out over the past three games, but he may be able to return for the regular-season finale Sunday against the Hornets. The Wizards are locked into a play-in scenario, so there's not a dire reason to risk playing Beal if there's still concern about his injury.

Beal (hamstring) will not play in Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Marc Stein of the New York Times reports.

A strained left hamstring will keep Beal out of a third straight game as the Wizards continue to attempt to lock down a spot in the play-in tournament. Without Beal, the Wizards have dropped two consecutive games to the Hawks by a combined five points. For now, the team is evaluating Beal on a game-to-game basis, so there's some hope that he'll be able to return for the regular-season finale Sunday versus Charlotte.

The Wizards announced that Beal (hamstring) will be sidelined for games Monday and Wednesday against the Hawks before being re-evaluated Friday.

After an MRI administered over the weekend confirmed an initial diagnosis of a strained left hamstring, Beal will end up sitting out at least two contests. The star shooting guard picked up the injury in Saturday's win over the Pacers, during which he erupted for 50 points on 19-for-31 shooting from the field. Beal's absence for at least the first two of Washington's final four games of the regular season renders him an unappealing option in weekly leagues, and he's far from guaranteed to be available for contests Friday against the Cavaliers and Sunday versus the Hornets. While Beal is sidelined, the Wizards will likely turn to Russell Westbrook and Rui Hachimura to handle more of the scoring burden, while Davis Bertans, Raul Neto and Ish Smith are also candidates to pick up some of the slack.

Beal has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hawks with a strained left hamstring.

The 27-year-old suffered the injury during the latter stages of Saturday's win over the Pacers, and he'll be sidelined at least one game due to the injury. Garrison Matthews and Raul Neto should have increased roles in the backcourt for the Wizards with Beal sidelined.

Beal sat out down the stretch during Saturday's 133-132 overtime win over the Pacers after tweaking his hamstring, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports. He posted 50 points (19-31 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 9-11 FT), five rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal in 39 minutes.

The 27-year-old also tweaked his ankle during the contest, though he returned to the court after getting taped up in the locker room. Beal was unable to play during the closing stretch of regulation and all of overtime due to the hamstring issue. The severity of the injury remains unclear, so he should be considered questionable for Monday's matchup with the Hawks until his status is updated.

Beal (ankle) got his ankle taped in the locker room and returned to Sunday's contest against the Pacers, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.

It's a good sign that Beal was able to return. However, he should still tentatively be considered questionable for Monday's contest against the Hawks.

Beal rolled his ankle and went to the locker room during the third quarter of Saturday's game against the Pacers, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Beal should be considered questionable to return. If he doesn't, there could be more minutes for Anthony Gill, Garrison Mathews or Ish Smith.

Beal mustered 28 points (11-22 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 45 minutes in Thursday's overtime win over the Raptors.

Beal's performances might get a bit overlooked due to Russell Westbrook's impressive triple-double streak, but the star shooting guard has scored 25-plus points in four straight games while doing it with excellent efficiency -- he's shooting 50 percent from the field in that span. Westbrook's scoring numbers are nowhere near what he's done in past seasons, meaning Beal should remain the Wizards' main scoring threat going forward as he will attempt to finish the campaign as the league's leading scorer. He's currently averaging a career-best 31.1 points per game.

Beal notched 42 points (14-24 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 11-14 FT), four rebounds, three assists and a steal across 39 minutes in Wednesday's loss at Milwaukee.

Beal recorded one of his best scoring outputs of the season, though him reaching the 40-point mark hasn't been an oddity by any means this season since he's already done it seven times. He has scored at least 25 points in all but one of his last 14 games and remains an elite offensive player despite having to share backcourt touches with Russell Westbrook.

Beal recorded 29 points (9-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-11 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 37 minutes in Saturday's loss against the Mavericks.

Beal had an off night Friday against the Cavaliers (19 points on 8-24 FG) but bounced back here -- he's now scored at least 25 points in all but one of his previous 12 appearances. Beal is averaging 30.2 points per game since the beginning of April.

Beal scored 19 points (8-24 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding three assists and a rebound in 26 minutes during Friday's win over the Cavaliers.

It's the first time in 13 April games Beal failed to score at least 20 points, but his off night didn't cost the Wizards. The 27-year-old averaged 30.3 points, 3.7 boards, 3.6 assists, 2.2 threes and 1.0 steals on the month as he tries to keep pace with Stephen Curry for the league scoring title.

Beal tallied 27 points (11-18 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 116-107 win over the Lakers.

The 27-year-old has scored 20-plus points over his last 12 games, a span in which he's averaging 31.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.1 steals. Beal is leading the league in scoring this season with 31.3 points per game through 53 games. He'll look to keep up his torrid scoring pace Friday on the road against the 13th-seeded Cavaliers.

Beal went for 45 points (20-37 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT) in Monday's overtime loss to the Spurs.

Beal put up a fairly bizarre line, as far as 45-point games go, as he did not hit a three-pointer and only worked his way to the line five times in 42 minutes. Nonetheless, Beal was as aggressive as he's been all year, tying his season high of 20 made field goals, which he initially set during his 60-point eruption against Philadelphia back on Jan. 6. Beal now has six 40-plus-point efforts on the season, and he's scored at least 30 points in eight of his last nine games.

Beal registered 33 points (13-24 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists and a steal across 39 minutes in Sunday's win over the Cavaliers.

Beal continues to showcase his scoring ability on a nightly basis and has registered at least 29 points in eight straight games while putting up at least 33 points four times during that stretch. He's averaging 30.3 points per game while shooting 48 percent from the field in 10 appearances this month.

Beal mustered 33 points (12-24 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal across 36 minutes in Friday's win over the Thunder.

Beal reached the 30-point mark for the sixth time over his last seven appearances and remains the Wizards' top scoring option despite playing alongside Russell Westbrook in the backcourt. The star shooting guard is fighting to end the season as the league's scoring champion, and his recent performances prove that, as he's averaging 32.0 points per game during that aforementioned seven-game stretch.

Beal tallied 29 points (8-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 11-11 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Warriors.

The 27-year-old snapped his five-game streak of 30-plus points Wednesday but still managed to score 29 points. Beal has been on a mission over his last six games, averaging 31.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.5 steals in that span. He'll look to keep the 11th-seeded Wizards' playoffs hopes alive Friday on the road against the Thunder.

Beal registered 30 points (12-21 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three steals, two assists and a rebound across 35 minutes in Monday's win over the Thunder.

Beal carried the Wizards offensively once again, and he extended his scoring streak of games with at least 30 points to five contests. The star guard has also notched multiple steals in back-to-back contests, but his contributions in other categories were almost non-existent. Beal will deliver practically all of his value from a scoring point of view, though that's not going to be an issue if he keeps doing it like he's done it over the last few games.

Beal posted 37 points (13-22 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three assists, three rebounds and two steals in Saturday's win over Detroit.

Beal has now topped 30 points in four straight games, despite shooting under 30 percent from three during that stretch. He had no struggles from beyond the arc Saturday, draining four three-pointers to help offset meager contributions in rebounds and assists. Beal notched multiple steals for the first time since March 10.

Beal scored 30 points (10-29 FG, 0-9 3Pt, 10-11 FT) and added six assists and four rebounds in Friday's win over the Pelicans.

Beal had a nightmare shooting game from beyond the arc, contributing to the Wizards going 4-of-27 from three as a team. Despite the off night, Beal reached the 30-point mark for the third straight game as the Wizards picked up their third straight victory.

Beal totaled 31 points (10-22 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 9-9 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 36 minutes Wednesday in a 123-111 victory versus the Kings.

Beal paced Washington in scoring in the contest, aided in part by a perfect night from the charity stripe. He has registered impressive point production over his past four contests, posting 27.8 points per game. Over that span, he is shooting 47.7 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Beal scored 34 points (14-31 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT) with five assists, three rebounds and one steal in a 125-121 victory over Utah on Monday.

Beal returned to the lineup after missing one game due to a back injury and scored 30-plus points for the first time since March 18. The guard has played in just seven of the team's last 13 games and averaged 23.1 points over that span. When healthy, Beal is one of the most consistent scorers in the league, as he has failed to score 20 points in just four contests this season.

Beal (back) will play Monday against the Jazz, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Beal missed Saturday's game due to a back injury, but he'll be back in the lineup Monday with a minutes restriction. The 27-year-old has seen 30.2 minutes per game over his last two outings, so he may be line for a similar workload Monday.

Beal (back) is probable for Monday's game against the Jazz.

Beal has missed six of the past eight games due to hip and back issues, but it appears as though he'll be back on the court for Monday's contest. Beal averaged 30.0 minutes per game during his appearances Wednesday and Friday, and he could see a similar workload if he's ultimately active against Utah.

Beal (back) is out Saturday against the Suns, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

As expected, Beal will sit out with a back injury that, according to coach Scott Brooks, is not related to the hip injury that kept the guard out for five games. In his absence, Raul Neto, Ish Smith and Garrison Mathews are candidates to see more action.

Beal (hip) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Suns.

After five missed games due to a hip injury, Beal has appeared in the Wizards' past two contests. However, he's still apparently in pain and is unlikely to play Saturday. In his presumed absence, Raul Neto, Ish Smith and Garrison Mathews are candidates to see increased run.

Wizards coach Scott Brooks said he anticipates Beal will be questionable for Saturday's game against the Suns, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Beal drained a go-ahead three-pointer and free throw in the closing seconds of Friday's win over the Warriors and totaled 20 points (7-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six assists and three rebounds in 30 minutes. However, he went to the locker room during the matchup due to back tightness and has been dealing with a hip issue recently. Brooks said that the team will see how Beal feels Saturday before determining his status for the second half of the back-to-back set. If Beal is unavailable, Garrison Mathews and Raul Neto could see increased run for the Wizards.

Beal (hip) will play and start in Friday's game against the Warriors, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

A lingering hip issue resulted in Beal landing on the Wizards' injury report as probable prior to the contest, but he has unsurprsingly been given the green light. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual workload.

Beal (hip) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Warriors, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Beal played through his lingering hip issue during Wednesday's win over the Magic, so unless he's suffered any setbacks he should be able to play Friday. After handling 30 minutes in his return from a five-game absence, Beal could see his minutes slowly start to increase as he inches back toward full health.

Beal (hip) dropped 26 points (11-19 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five assists, one rebounds, one block and one steal over 30 minutes Wednesday in the victory over the Magic.

Beal returned after an absence of five games and once again led the Wizards in scoring. The NBA's leading scorer has now topped the 25-point mark 34 times en route to averaging a career high this year in both points and shooting percentage. Beal will look to keep the momentum going when the Wizards take on the Warriors on Friday.

Beal (hip) has been cleared to play Wednesday night against the Magic.

A bruised hip kept Beal out of the previous five games, but after going through a pregame workout he's been cleared to play for the first time since March 27. The All-Star's return will likely push Raul Neto back to the bench. In nine games since the break, Beal is averaging 25.7 points, 5.0 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.8 threes with a 50-36-90 shooting line.

Beal (hip) will be a game-time call for Wednesday's matchup against Orlando, Ava Wallace of the Washington Post reports.

The Wizards called Beal a game-time decision for each of the past few games, but Monday's loss to Toronto marked his fifth straight absence due to a bruised right hip. He'll once again warm up in hopes of taking the floor, but a final call may not come until closer to the 7:00 PM ET tip.

Beal (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Magic.

A bruised right hip has kept Beal on the shelf for five consecutive games, but he might be able to return Wednesday. If he does, there's a chance he'll be on a minutes limit.

Beal (hip) is unavailable for Monday's game against the Raptors.

It's the fifth consecutive contest the 27-year-old has been considered a game-time decision only to ultimately be ruled out. Raul Neto will receive the start at shooting guard in Beal's absence Monday.

Beal (hip) will be a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Raptors, Ava Wallace of the Washington Post reports.

This has been the case for the last four games, all of which Beal ended up missing due a bruised right hip. Garrison Matthews started in Beal's place Saturday against Dallas, while Jerome Robinson got the start at shooting guard in the previous three contests.

The Wizards list Beal (hip) as questionable for Monday's game against the Raptors.

Beal's right hip contusion has sidelined him for the past four games, but the Wizards are seemingly hopeful the star shooting guard will be ready to make his return to the lineup at some point this week. Whether that happens Monday will likely hinge on how Beal fares during morning shootaround, with freelance NBA reporter Quinton Mayo suggesting the 27-year-old's status may come down to a game-time decision ahead of the 7 p.m. ET tipoff. If Beal can't go, more minutes would be available for Garrison Mathews, Chandler Hutchison, Raul Neto and Ish Smith.

Beal (hip) is out for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.

A right hip bruise will cause Beal to miss a fourth straight game. Garrison Mathews will start in his absence. Beal's next chance to play is Monday against the Raptors.

Beal (hip) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.

The 27-year-old has missed the past three games with a bruised right hip, and his status remains up in the air for Saturday's contest. Jerome Robinson could continue to start if Beal sits out again, though the returns of Ish Smith (quad) and Davis Bertans (calf) could also cover the absence.

Beal (hip) will not play Thursday against the Pistons, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.

Beal is set to miss his third game in a row after he had been listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game. Jerome Robinson is set to receive another start. Over the last two games, Robinson has averaged 7.5 points on 30.0 percent shooting, 1.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.5 blocks per game. Russell Westbrook will also likely have a heavy usage rate again Thursday.

Beal (hip) is a game-time decision for Thursday's game against Detroit, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Beal has missed the last two games due to a bruise in his right hip, and he remains uncertain for Thursday night with just more than an hour to go until tip-off. Jerome Robinson will start for a third-consecutive game if Beal is unable to play.

Beal (hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pistons.

Beal has missed two straight games due to a bruised right hip. If he returns Thursday, Jerome Robinson would presumably head back to the bench.

Beal (hip) won't play Tuesday against the Hornets.

The 27-year-old was considered a game-time decision but was unable to gain clearance leading up to Tuesday's contest. It will be the second straight absence for Beal after suffering the right hip bruise Saturday versus the Pistons. Jerome Robinson will receive another start at shooting guard in his absence for Washington.

Beal (hip) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.

The 27-year-old is officially considered questionable after missing Monday's win over the Pacers due to a bruised hip, and his availability for Tuesday's contest remains up in the air. Jerome Robinson could receive another start at shooting guard if Beal sits out his second straight game.

Beal (hip) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Charlotte.

Beal was absent from Monday's win over Indiana due to a bruised hip, and he remains questionable for the team's second half of a back-to-back. Jerome Robinson received a start in Monday's game, and while he did virtually nothing on offense, he did pick up three steals and three blocks.

Beal (hip) is unavailable for Monday's game against the Pacers.

The 27-year-old was considered questionable but will be sidelined for the second straight contest due to a bruised right hip. Jerome Robinson will join the starting lineup for Washington in his absence. Beal should be considered questionable for the second half of the back-to-back set Tuesday versus Charlotte.

Beal (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Pacers.

A bruised hip forced Beal out of Saturday's game against Detroit after playing 21 minutes and putting up 17 points, six assists and three boards. There's hope that he'll be able to avoid an absence Monday, but the Wizards will wait to see how his body responds over the next 24 hours.

Beal won't return to Saturday's game against the Pistons due to a bruised right hip, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

The 27-year-old landed hard on his hip during the contest and appeared to be moving gingerly before heading to the locker room. Beal had 17 points (6-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists and three rebounds in 21 minutes before exiting the contest. It's unclear if the issue will affect his availability for Monday's matchup with the Pacers.

Beal (foot) will play Saturday against the Pistons, freelance NBA reporter Quinton Mayo reports.

Despite some foot soreness, Beal will see the court Saturday. This month, he's averaged 27.0 points, 4.7 assists and 4.2 rebounds in 36.2 minutes.

Beal (foot) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

The 27-year-old is considered questionable for Saturday with a sore right foot, and he'll need to go through a pregame workout before potentially being cleared to play. Raul Neto, Garrison Mathews and Jerome Robinson would see more minutes should Beal be unavailable.

Beal is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pistons due to right foot soreness.

Beal has emerged from Thursday's loss to the Knicks with foot soreness after playing 39 minutes and posting 26 points, nine assists and four rebounds. If Beal ends up sidelined, more minutes would be available for Raul Neto, Garrison Mathews and Jerome Robinson.

Beal registered 26 points (8-23 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT), nine assists and four rebounds in 39 minutes during Thursday's 106-102 loss to the Knicks.

The 27-year-old has struggled with his shot over the past three games, shooting just 38 percent from the field on 53 shot attempts. On the season, Beal is averaging a career-high 31.7 points on 48 percent field-goal shooting through 40 games. Beal will look to bust out of his mini-shooting slump Saturday at home against the Pistons.

Beal delivered 22 points (6-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 10-10 FT), four rebounds, four assists and a steal across 32 minutes in Tuesday's loss against the Knicks.

Beal didn't have his best shooting performance -- similar to Russell Westbrook, who also struggled badly from the field -- but still managed to pace the Wizards offensively with another 20-point performance. Beal has scored 20-plus points in all but three games this season, and while this performance wasn't a game he'll remember for a long time, it proved that Beal doesn't have to be effective from the field to deliver a strong fantasy line, especially from a scoring perspective.

Beal had 17 points (6-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five assists and two rebounds in Sunday's loss to Brooklyn.

It's not often that Beal finishes as the team's fourth-highest scorer, but that was the case Sunday with Russell Westbrook (29), Alex Len (20) and Rui Hachimura (20) all reaching the 20-point plateau. Beal's fantasy line, which included six turnovers, was a major letdown after he went for 43 points and five assists in Thursday's win over Utah.

Beal dropped 43 points (16-24 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five assists and two rebounds across 39 minutes Thursday in the win over the Jazz.

It was a tale of two halves for Beal. In the first half, he was 5-for-8 from the floor for 13 points. In the second half, Beal dropped 30 points while going 11-for-16 from the field. He (43) and Russell Westbrook (35) combined to go for 78 of the Wizards' 131 points. Beal has now hit 60 percent or better from the field in four straight games while dishing out five assists in three straight. He now has five 40-point performances on the season with one of those games being a 60-point outing.

Beal scored 29 points (12-20 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT) to go along with six rebounds and five assists across 36 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Kings.

Beal scored well for the second consecutive game after enduring a brief shooting slump. However, he was still unable to find his range beyond the arc, as he failed to hit at least one three for the first time since Jan. 29. The worst part of Beal's night came with 0.7 seconds left in the game, when De'Aaron Fox knocked down a jumper over him to hand the Wizards another loss.

Beal posted 37 points (13-19 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 7-7 Ft), six rebounds, five assists and one steal in 41 minutes

The 27-year-old returned to the lineup after missing Saturday's game due to left knee soreness and enjoyed an incredibly efficient game. Beal is averaging a career- high 32.2 points per game through 35 games this season, and the Wizards will need him to continue scoring if they want a shot at the playoffs. As long as his left knee holds up, Beal will look to snap the Wizards' four-game losing streak Wednesday when the Wizards host the Kings.

Beal (knee) is not listed on the Wizards' injury report ahead of Monday's matchup with the Bucks.

Beal popped up on the Wizards' injury report ahead of Saturday's tilt against the Bucks and ultimately sat out. It appears the team was simply erring on the side of caution, as he is seemingly good to go in Monday's rematch. Look for him to take on his usual role assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Beal won't play Saturday against the Bucks due to left knee soreness.

Beal wasn't originally listed on Washington's injury report, but he'll be unable to suit up against Milwaukee. Deni Avdija will enter the starting lineup in his place, while Raul Neto and Troy Brown could also see increased run for the Wizards.

Beal (knee) dropped 19 points (8-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 29 minutes in Friday's loss to the 76ers.

So far, Beal has not enjoyed much success in the scoring post All-Star break. The leading scorer in the NBA has averaged 20 points, 3.0 assists, 2.5 blobkcs, 1.5 steals and 0.5 blocks in the two games. Regardless, Beal is one of the best scorers the league has to offer and is averaging a career high in both points (32.1) and rebounds (5.3) per game.

Beal (knee) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against Philadelphia.

The All-Star guard was labeled a game-time call due to a sore knee, but after testing it in pregame he's been given the green light. In his first game after the break Wednesday against Memphis, Beal struggled from the floor (6-22 FG, 1-8 3Pt), but he still managed 21 points, five assists, three boards and three steals in 34 minutes.

Beal (knee) is a game-time decision for Friday's game against Philadelphia, freelance NBA reporter Quinton Mayo reports.

Beal was questionable leading up to Friday's matchup due to left knee soreness, and he'll likely test out his injury prior to the game before the team determines his status. If he's unavailable, Davis Bertans will start for the Wizards on Friday, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Beal (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Beal has only missed two games so far this season, but he's currently dealing with soreness in his left knee which has his status for Friday's game in doubt. The news on the injury comes after Beal struggled in his first game after the All-Star break, shooting 6-of-22 from the field in Wednesday's loss to Memphis. If Beal is sidelined, Raul Neto could move into a starting role.

Beal totaled 21 points (6-22 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five assists, three rebounds, three steals and one block in a 127-112 loss to the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

In his first game after the All-Star break, Beal struggled to get anything going offensively but was able to pick up some defensive counting stats. The guard was also able to convert all of his free throws, which saved what would have been a dismal scoring day for Beal, who is averaging 32.5 points per game on the season. Look for the league's scoring leader to get back on track Friday against Philadelphia.

Beal went for 33 points (9-23 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 14-15 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block across 37 minutes of Thursday's victory over the Clippers.

Beal has seen his shooting percentage drop in three straight games though his point total has hardly been impacted. He also managed to protect the ball during Thursday's win, committing just one turnover which marked the first time since Feb. 7 he's not turned the ball over multiple times in a game. Over his last three outings, Beal is averaging 34.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.7 steals while attempting 11 free throws per game.

Beal scored 23 points (8-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT) while adding 6 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 36 minutes Tuesday in the loss to the Grizzlies.

It was the first time in four games that Beal had failed to hit the 30-point plateau and just the 10th time this season. On top of missing out on the 30-point mark, he did not make at least half of his shots for the first time in seven contests. He's also registered a steal in 16 of his last 20 outings.

Beal dropped 46 points (16-29 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 11-12 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block over 39 minutes of Sunday's loss to the Celtics.

Beal had a chance at the end to win it but ended up missing the shot. He still managed to register his fourth 40-point performance while getting to the free throw line over 10 times for the eighth time this season. Beal has been on fire shooting the ball, hitting over 50 percent in six straight contests while taking at least 20 shots in five of those six outings.

Beal scored 34 points (12-23 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT) while adding eight rebounds, six assists and a steal across 30 minutes in Saturday's win over the Timberwolves.

Beal delivered another masterful offensive performance and surpassed the 30-point mark for the fourth time in Washington's last five games. The Wizards have won seven of their last eight contests and Beal has played a pivotal role in the team's uptick in form, as he has scored 30 or more points six times during that eight-game stretch.

Beal had 33 points (10-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 11-11 FT), four rebounds and four assists in Thursday's win over the Nuggets.

The Wizards took down the Nuggets for the second time in eight days, and Beal once again led the way with his 10th straight 20-plus-point performance. The NBA's leading scorer attempted double-digit free throws for the seventh time this season and topped 30 points for the 19th time.

Beal totaled 28 points (12-24 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 assists and four rebounds in Tuesday's loss to the Clippers.

The NBA's leading scorer just missed hitting the 30-point mark, but he tied his season high with 10 dimes and connected on 12 of 24 field-goal attempts for the second straight game. Aside from a seven-point dud against Miami on Feb. 5, Beal has scored at least 24 points in every game this season en route to a career-best 32.7 points per contest. He's contributing in other ways, too, with 5.3 boards, 4.9 dimes and 1.4 steals per game on the campaign.

Beal had 33 points (12-24 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-9 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and three steals in Monday's overtime win over the Lakers.

Beal led the charge as the Wizards clawed back from a double-digit deficit in the second half to knock off one of the defending champions, who were without both Dennis Schroder (health and safety protocols) and Anthony Davis (calf). In a season-high 44 minutes, Beal topped 30 points for the ninth time in his last 12 games.

Beal totaled 37 points (16-27 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals in a 118-111 win over Portland on Saturday.

Beal led all players in scoring in the contest, finishing with his second 37-point effort in the past three games. He was efficient from the field despite making only two of his eight three-point tries, and he chipped in a strong effort on the boards to boot. Beal continues to lead the NBA with 32.9 points per game on the season, and he is on pace for the second-highest field-goal rate of his career at 47.8 percent.

Beal made two free throws with 0.1 seconds remaining in Wednesday's 130-128 win over the Jazz. He had 25 points (8-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT) and 10 rebounds in 37 minutes.

It wasn't the 27-year-old's most efficient performance while shooting 40 percent from the field, but he made up for it by going perfect from the line and earning his second double-double of the season. Wednesday also marked the second time this season Beal didn't record an assist.

Beal went for 37 points (14-24 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and three steals in 36 minutes during the Wizards' 131-119 victory over the Rockets on Monday.

Beal has now scored more points than he's had minutes played in back-to-back games. He's done that eight times now for the season. Beal led the Wizards' scoring attack that saw seven players score in double figures, though the next closest player was Davis Bertans with 18 points. Since his seven-point performance, Beal has four 30-point outings in five games and is averaging 32.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.6 steals per game while shooting 49.1 percent from the field.

Beal scored a game-high 35 points (10-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 11-11 FT) while adding seven rebounds, five assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's 104-91 win over the Celtics.

While he wasn't quite a one-man show -- four other Wizards scored in double digits, and Russell Westbrook nearly had another triple-double -- Beal poured in 20 more points than any of his teammates. It's the 15th time in 22 games Beal has popped for at least 30, an incredible run of production for the league's leading scorer, and with the Wizards keeping an eye on his workload, there's little reason to think the 27-year-old is about to slow down.

Beal (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Beal played at least 35 minutes in each of the past two contests, and he'll be unavailable for Friday's matchup for rest purposes. Raul Neto could start in his place against the Knicks, while Garrison Matthews and Jerome Robinson could also see increased run for the Wizards.

Beal accumulated 24 points (8-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five assists, four rebounds and two steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Raptors.

After posting consecutive 30-point outings, Beal came back down to earth a bit. Still, it marks just the seventh time in 21 games that Beal has gone for less than 30 points. Beal has now dished out at least five assists in consecutive games for the third time this season.

Beal scored 35 points (10-24 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 14-15 FT) to go along with five rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one block across 35 minutes in Monday's win over the Bulls.

Beal unsurprisingly led the Wizards in scoring and was tremendous from the free-throw line -- masking an otherwise poor shooting night. He also chipped in across the box score, posting more than five assists for only the third time in his last 11 games. Volume will continue to be on Beal's side, as he's the driving force behind the Wizards' offense and is averaging career-high marks with 8.4 free-throw and 24.8 field-goal attempts per game.

Beal totaled 31 points (11-22 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and six rebounds over 28 minutes in Sunday's 119-97 loss to the Hornets.

Beal had his worst performance of the season while shooting just 7.1 percent from the floor in Friday's loss to the Heat, but he was far more effective on the scoreboard against Charlotte. The 27-year-old was unable to lead the Wizards to the win Sunday and didn't record any assists, but it was encouraging to see him return to form in the scoring column.

Beal recorded seven points (1-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three steals across 27 minutes in Friday's loss against the Heat.

Beal has been the league's biggest scoring threat this season by a wide margin, but his shot abandoned him Friday and he only drilled one of his 14 field-goal attempts. He missed some shots that he normally sinks, though, so this shouldn't be anything more than an off night for the veteran sharpshooter. Beal will try to turn things around Sunday when the Wizards visit the Hornets.

Beal recorded 32 points (11-23 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block across 38 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Heat.

Beal continued his torrid scoring run and has scored 30 or more points in nine of his last 10 contests. The star guard currently leads the NBA in scoring and took advantage of Russell Westbrook's absence due to rest purposes. Beal has an all-time high fantasy value, but his upside won't be higher than what it currently is playing for the offensively-challenged Wizards.

Beal scored 37 points (14-24 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 3-5 FT) while adding four assists, two rebounds and a block across 38 minutes in Tuesday's loss against the Trail Blazers.

Beal continues to show he's the Wizards' main scoring weapon, as he paced the team in scoring once again with his 11th 30-point performance of the campaign -- and his sixth game with 37 or more points. Beal is yet to score fewer than 26 points through 16 appearances and should remain an elite fantasy asset solely based on his scoring ability, as he's taken a massive leap forward this year to become one of the league's premier scoring threats.

Beal recorded 37 points (13-23 FG, 2-5 3PT, 9-9 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 38 minutes in Sunday's 149-146 win over the Nets.

Beal and Russell Westbrook pulled off a stunning win with two three-pointers in the final seconds. As the NBA's current scoring leader, Beal's been a bright spot for the Wizards, who are struggling with the league's worst record. Now that Westbrook is healthy, Beal will delegate some responsibility to the All-Star point guard and provide a more balanced offensive attack. Together, they could be the most productive backcourt tandem by season's end.

Beal scored 26 points (10-26 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 6-7 3Pt) and added three assists, two rebounds, two steals and one block across 32 minutes during Friday's loss to the Hawks.

Prior to Friday, Beal hadn't scored less than 31 in six consecutive outings. Beal made four of his 10 shots in the fourth quarter with Russell Westbrook getting ejected with just over 10 minutes left to play. Friday also saw Beal haul in a season-low two rebounds and tie his season-low with three assists.

Beal went off for 47 points (17-37 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 7-7 FT) while adding four rebounds, six assists and four steals across 40 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Pelicans.

Beal continues to score at a nearly historical rate and has now scored 30 or more points in six straight games -- he has achieved that feat nine times already and doesn't figure to slow down any time soon. While the expected return of Russell Westbrook (rest) should result in fewer touches for him Friday against the Hawks, there's no question Beal should continue as the team's go-to player on offense. He is averaging a league-best 35.3 points per game this season.

Beal notched 33 points (12-28 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five rebounds, four assists and a block across 35 minutes in Tuesday's loss against the Rockets.

Beal has been the Wizards' leading scorer all season long and Tuesday's game wasn't any different, as the star shooting guard surpassed the 30-point plateau for the fifth straight game, and for the eighth time this season. The fact that Beal's lowest scoring output was a 27-point game against the Nets on Jan. 3 should speak volumes of his value as a scoring threat -- and that should also translate to elite fantasy status across all formats.

Beal recorded 31 points (13-29 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 32 minutes in Sunday's 121-101 loss to the Spurs.

The Wizards looked out of sorts after their long layoff, but Beal was his usual prolific self on Sunday, making 29 shot attempts that resulted in 31 points for the standout guard. Russell Westbrook's arrival hasn't affected Beal's lofty totals, as he's on pace for career-bests in scoring and rebounding.

Beal and the Wizards will not play Friday against the Bucks after the game was postponed, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

It's the sixth consecutive postponement for Washington as the team continues fall short of the eight-player minimum for games.. The next contest on the schedule is Sunday at San Antonio.

Beal and the Wizards will not play Wednesday against the Hornets after the game was postponed, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

This will be the fifth straight postponed game for Washington, which has not played since last Monday, Jan. 11 due to ongoing COVID-19 issues. For now, the Wizards' next scheduled contest is Friday in Milwaukee.

Beal and the Wizards will not play Sunday or Monday against the Cavaliers due to postponement, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Washington will not have the eight players needed for the game to occur. The next chance for the Wizards to play is Wednesday against the Hornets.

Beal and the Wizards won't play the Pistons on Friday since the game was postponed, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

Washington continues to deal with COVID-19 issues and won't have the required eight players available for Friday's contest, leading to a second straight postponement. The Wizards' next game is currently scheduled for Sunday versus the Cavaliers.

The matchup between the Wizards and Jazz on Wednesday has been postponed, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Washington does not have the required eight players available for the game due to contact tracing. Washington will next have a chance to play Friday against the Pistons in Detroit.

Beal scored a game-high 34 points (12-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT) while adding nine assists, eight rebounds, two steals and a block in 35 minutes during Monday's 128-107 win over the Suns.

After missing a game due to the league's COVID-19 protocols, Beal continued his huge run to begin the season. With John Wall in Houston and Russell Westbrook (quad) out of action once again Monday, Beal's usage was again through the roof, and he's topped 30 points in three straight starts and six of 10 games overall pushing his scoring average to a league-high 34.9 PPG.

Beal (COVID-19 protocols) will be available for Monday's game against the Suns.

Beal fortunately will only have to miss one game amid the league's health and safety protocols.The 27-year-old shooting guard has combined to score 101 points across his last two games and he will likely have another big game Monday with Russell Westbrook (quad) still out.

Beal is a late scratch for Saturday's game against the Heat due to health and safety protocols, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Beal's contact tracing situation has been tied to Jayson Tatum, with the Celtics and Wizards having played Friday. With Russell Westbrook (quad) also out, the Wizards will have a thin squad. Raul Neto and Jerome Robinson should see minutes increases, as well as plenty of other guards and wings.

Beal scored 41 points (16-29 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT) to go with three rebounds, three assists and one block across 38 minutes in a 116-107 loss to Boston on Friday.

Beal followed up an impressive 60-point performance with another explosive shooting night from the field, attempting 25 or more field goals in his third straight game. Unfortunately, the explosion didn't result in a victory for the Wizards as Beal made more field goals than any teammate in the first half alone. Along with scoring at a career-high mark so far this season, the guard is also recording career-highs in rebounds, steals and free throws attempted per game.

Beal scored 60 points (20-35 FG, 7-10 3Pt, 13-15 FT) while adding seven rebounds, five assists and a steal across 38 minutes in Wednesday's 141-136 loss against the 76ers.

Beal surpassed his previous career-high mark of 55 points set last year against the Bucks, and he was practically unstoppable although his efforts didn't result in a win for Washington. Beal has been one of the most productive guards in The Association through the first few weeks of the season, as he's making his presence felt through either quantity or efficiency when it comes to scoring the rock. He has registered at least 27 points in each of his first eight games of the campaign.

Beal had 27 points (9-25 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal during Sunday's 123-122 win against the Nets.

Beal marked his first 10-rebound double-double in over a year. In terms of his shot selection, he was overly confident inside the arc. But despite making just 35 percent of his shots from that area, Beal continued to generate value through quantity. He is likely to post over 20 points with roughly 20-plus shots even in performances like this.

Beal registered 31 points (12-20 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and a steal across 28 minutes in Friday's win over the Timberwolves.

Beal took advantage of Russell Westbrook's absence due to resting purposes, and he carried the Wizards' offense in what ended being the team's first win of the year. Beal has scored at least 28 points in every game this season and has surpassed the 30-point mark thrice already, so he will remain an elite scoring threat in every format regardless if he has Westbrook or not by his side in the backcourt.

Beal scored 28 points (8-19 FG, 0-3 3PT, 12-13 FT) to go along with four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 35 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Bulls.

Beal's shooting continued to slide, as he's gone only 27-for-68 from the field across his last three contests. Particularly problematic has been Beal's shot from three-point range, as he's made only six three-point field goals in 28 attempts to this point in the season. Even so, he's averaging 31.2 points thanks to his ability to rack up fouls and connect from the free-throw line.

Beal totaled 29 points (9-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-10 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in 37 minutes during Tuesday's

Beal left the game briefly due to a head knock but was ultimately able to return and certainly looked untroubled. Beal has started the season on fire and the addition of Russell Westbrook has done nothing to curtail his fantasy relevance. His assist numbers have taken a predictable hit but on the flipside, he is getting plenty of open looks on the offensive end and his defensive numbers are on the rise.

Beal had 29 points (10-29 FG, 0-7 3PT, 9-9 FT), seven assists and five rebounds in Sunday's loss to the Magic.

Beal fell short of the 30-point plateau for the first time this season on a night when he struggled from beyond the arc. He may not have provided fantasy mangers with any threes or field goal percentage help, but Beal was a perfect 9-of-9 at the free throw line and he committed just one turnovers in 39 minutes.

Beal tallied 39 points (14-24 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-13 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals in Saturday's loss to Orlando.

Any concern about Beal losing shot attempts to Russell Westbrook has proven to be unfounded as the former has totaled 46 field-goal attempts through two games to Westbrook's 41. Beal has been efficient with his tries thus far, converting at a 54.3 percent rate from the field and going 5-of-13 from beyond the arc. He looks to be putting together another stellar season in his ninth NBA campaign.

Beal recorded 31 points (11-22 FG, 3-8 3PT, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, three assists and four steals in 36 minutes in the 107-113 loss to Philadelphia on Wednesday.

Beal continued his stellar play from last season in the season opener loss Wednesday. The guard showed that he did not need star-studded talent around him last season, to produce. However, his upside looks bright this year, as long as he and fellow teammate Russell Westbrook can learn to balance each other. Beal did only go 50 percent from the floor, but just missed going perfect from the line. He will continue to prove that he is one of the top guard in the league.

Beal notched 15 points (7-15 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, five assists, a steal and a block across 27 minutes in Saturday's 99-96 preseason win over the Pistons.

Beal was expected to see limited minutes since he didn't practice Friday, but such wasn't the case -- in fact, Beal finished second in the team in minutes, only trailing rookie Deni Avdija. Beal's numbers might decrease a bit following the arrival of Russell Westbrook, but he should remain one of the top shooting guards in the league in 2020-21.

Beal (back) isn't on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Pistons, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Beal missed Friday's practice due to a back injury that he sustained Thursday, but he's slated to play in Saturday's preseason finale after his removal from the injury report. With the Wizards' season opener scheduled for Dec. 23, Beal could see limited minutes in the final game of the preseason.

Beal (back) did not practice on Friday, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Beal wasn't at practice a day after a 10-point effort during Thursday's preseason game. Coach Scott Brooks said he'll see how the 27-year-old shooting guard is feeling Saturday before determining whether Beal will play in the team's final preseason game.

Beal recorded 10 points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3PT, 1-3 FT), one rebound and one assist in the 97-86 loss to Detroit on Thursday.

Beal received a lesser workload as the season approaches in the loss Thursday. The guard had a big season last year and many are riding on him having a repeat this season. He did not have the best shooting form in his limited minutes, but only saw so much run before watching the rest of the game.

Beal (rest) will play "a few minutes, not a lot" against the Pistons on Thursday, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Coach Scott Brooks is keeping Beal's workload low heading into the regular season. Thursday's preseason contest is the Wizards' second-to-last exhibition before the Dec. 23 opener against the 76ers.

Beal (rest) has a "good chance" to play during Thursday's preseason game against the Pistons, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Beal was held out for rest during the team's preseason opener, but coach Scott Brooks indicated that the team's two stars will likely return Thursday. The 27-year-old shooting guard likely won't receive a heavy workload with the regular season set to begin Dec. 23 for the Wizards.

Beal (rest) will not play in Sunday's preseason opener against the Nets.

Beal will get some more ramp-up time before seeing live game action. His next chance to take the floor in Thursday against the Pistons. In his absence, Raul Neto and Troy Brown should see plenty of run.

Coach Scott Brooks said there's a "good possibility" Beal doesn't play in Sunday's preseason opener at Brooklyn, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Brooks indicated Russell Westbrook may also sit out, so the team just appears to be easing the start players into preseason action. Beal sat out the NBA restart in Orlando due to a right shoulder injury, but he said he feels "great" after arriving to camp last week and should be ready to go for the first game of the regular season Dec. 23 in Philadelphia.

Beal noted that his shoulder feels "great" and that "rehab all summer was awesome," Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Beal opted to sit out the NBA restart last season due to a right shoulder injury, and it sounds like the time off, plus rehab, did him well. The Wizards are entering 2020-21 with new, higher expectations following the trade of John Wall for Russell Westbrook, which will be the first time in Beal's career that he has a new backcourt mate (aside from the extended time Wall has missed). Beal reached career highs in both points (30.5) and assists (6.1) per game last season -- both of which could take a hit with Westbrook in town. Still, Beal will remain a high-usage offensive player who should be expected to post 25-and-5 every night. He's a solid second-round option in fantasy this season.

Beal will not participate in the NBA's season restart in Orlando due to a right shoulder injury.

The Wizards' leading scorer had been on the fence about joining the team in Orlando, and he's now opted to sit out after consulting with team doctors. "Bradley did everything possible to be ready to play, but after closely monitoring his individual workouts we came to the conclusion that it was best for him to sit out the upcoming games in Orlando and avoid the risk of further injury," said Wizards GM Tommy Sheppard. "Although he was able to play through the majority of the season with the injury, the layoff from March until now did not leave any of us feeling comfortable that he would have enough time to be ready to perform at the extremely high level we are all accustomed to seeing and agreed that not participating in the games in Orlando was the right decision." Beal had been nursing the shoulder issue -- a right rotator cuff injury -- for much of the season, and it reportedly worsened during the league's shutdown. The guard, who averaged a career-best 30.5 points per game this season, will not travel with

Beal is unsure whether or not he will participate in the resumption of the 2019-20 season, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

In June, teammate Davis Bertans announced he would not play in the bubble, and it seems possible Beal will follow suit. The Wizards are currently outside of the playoffs but have a puncher's chance of claiming the eighth seed, especially if Spencer Dinwiddie, who has contracted coronavirus, decides not to play for the Nets. If Beal opts not to play, the Wizards' chances are basically gone.

Beal produced 40 points (11-25 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 14-16 FT), seven assists, three rebounds, three steals and one block in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 122-115 win over the Knicks.

Beal scored 40-plus for the 11th time this season, this after scoring 40 or more 12 times across the last three seasons combined. The 26-year-old guard is averaging career highs in points, assists and threes while maintaining a career-high free throw percentage.

Beal had 35 points (13-21 FG, 7-10 3PT, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals in Friday's win over Atlanta.

Beal continued his torrid scoring spree, scoring at least 26 points for the 21st consecutive game. In that span, Beal is averaging 36.0 points per game on 48.6 percent shooting.

Beal had 29 points (10-29 FG, 4-9 3PT, 5-6 FT), six rebounds and six assists in Wednesday's loss to Portland.

It was another futile effort for Beal, who led the Wizards in scoring and was one of only three players in double-figures. Over his last 20 games -- dating back to Jan. 20 -- Beal is averaging 36.6 points per game on 48.0 percent shooting.

Beal finished with 35 points (11-24 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 11-15 FT), eight assists, two rebounds and two steals in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 133-126 loss to the Kings.

Beal extended his run of 30-point games to six, dropping a game-high 35 points. He has been on an unbelievable run of late, shouldering the bulk of the load on the offensive end for the Wizards. As with many of the superstars on struggling teams, there is an element of risk when analyzing what may lie ahead. Beal is typically not a player who likes to miss games at the best of times and those with shares in him simply need to hope he remains active moving forward.

Beal posted 34 points (10-24 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight assists, five steals and two rebounds across 35 minutes during Sunday's 124-110 victory over the Warriors.

Beal's dominant stretch of games continued Sunday. Over the past five games, he's averaged 42.8 points, 6.0 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 2.4 steals. His effort in the win also made Beal only the 10th player in NBA history to have a game with at least 34 points, eight assists and five steals with one or fewer turnovers. The last player to achieve the feat was Chris Paul in 2014.

Beal registered 42 points (17-33 FG, 6-15 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 assists, five rebounds and two steals in 40 minutes during Friday's 129-119 loss at Utah.

Beal extended his torrid run this month, and the star shooting guard has topped the 40-point plateau in three of his last four contests, while scoring 30 or more points in six of his last seven outings. Beal has been one of the league's premier scoring threats during the current month, and he is averaging 36.2 points per game -- while shooting 47.5 percent from the field -- in 11 games.

Beal posted 30 points (11-24 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists and three steals across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 110-106 victory over the Nets.

Beal has been one of the most potent offensive players in the league lately. Over the past 15 games, he's averaging 36.7 points on 25.3 shots, plus 5.1 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.4 steals. The Wizards (21-36) have gone 7-8 over this stretch and are running out of chances to sneak into the playoffs over the Magic, who are sitting in the eighth seed at 26-32.

Beal scored 55 points (19-33 FG, 8-13 3Pt, 9-10 FT), three assists and two rebounds in 41 minutes during Monday's 137-134 overtime loss against the Bucks.

Beal was coming off a 53-point performance against the Bulls on Sunday, and he topped himself roughly 24 hours later -- he poured 55 points against the best team of the Eastern Conference. Beal couldn't lead his team to victory, but he has an absolute stud for the Wizards and has delivered first-round value in what has been a stellar season for the 26-year-old. He has taken things to a whole new level during February, however, as he has averaged 36.2 points per game during the current month. Per StatMuse, Beal is the first player with 50-point games on consecutive days since Kobe Bryant did it back in 2007.

Beal posted 53 points (15-27 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 18-20 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block across 39 minutes during Sunday's 126-117 loss to the Bulls.

Beal reached a career high in points with historic efficiency, becoming only the fifth player in the last 20 years to rack up at least 53 points on 27 or fewer shots -- the others being James Harden, Steph Curry, Tony Delk and Kyrie Irving. Beal is having a great season, averaging career highs in points (29.6) and assists (6.0). Since the new year, he's averaging 32.4 points on 47.9 percent shooting, plus 5.0 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals.

Beal scored a team-high 30 points (12-23 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT) while adding seven assists, four rebounds and a steal in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 126-114 win over the Bulls.

The 26-year-old continues to shine. Beal has scored at least 25 points in 11 straight games, averaging 35.1 points, 6.0 assists, 4.1 boards, 2.8 threes and 1.1 steals, and he's gotten enough support that the Wizards are 6-5 over that stretch -- putting them just three games out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Beal put up 26 points (10-25 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in 34 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Grizzlies.

Unsurprisingly, Beal has been posting career highs in points, assists and free-throw percentage, with a career-high 34.7 usage rate to match. Unfortunately for the Wizards, it hasn't translated to many wins. After signing a contract extension early in the season, the fear that Beal would be traded mid-season subsided. However, the fear that he'll be forced to sit out down the stretch of the season still lingers. After playing all 82 games last year, it's difficult to predict if the team will go that same route, or attempt to preserve Beal for the future. Fantasy owners can only cross their fingers and wait for the verdict. For now, the 26-year old is still a fantastic option playing at a second-round level.

Beal scored 29 points (11-28 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT) to go along with eight assists, five rebounds and one steal in 39 minutes during Friday's 119-118 win over the Mavericks.

This 29-point output ties Beal's worst scoring effort in his last nine games, but he came through in the clutch for the Wizards when the team needed him the most and sealed the win with a last-second layup. Heroics aside, Beal has been one of the league's top scoring threats all season long, but he seems to have taken things to a whole new level over the last few weeks since he is averaging 36.7 points per game on 50.7 percent shooting during his last nine outings.

Beal scored a game-high 43 points (15-30 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 10-10 FT) while adding six assists, two rebounds and two steals in 39 minutes during Monday's 125-117 loss to the Warriors.

Once again, the 26-year-old got little help from his teammates as Davis Bertans was the only other Wizard to score more than 11 points on the night. Beal has now dropped at least 34 points in seven straight games, and since returning from a leg injury in January he's averaging an astounding 33.0 points, 5.4 assists, 3.5 boards, 2.6 threes and 0.9 steals over his last 11 contests.

Beal contributed 34 points (7-16 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 14-15 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists and one block in 35 minutes during Thursday's 121-107 win over the Hornets.

Beal was a man on a mission and was downright dominant in the aftermath of his being left out of the All-Star game. He has scored at least 34 in five straight games, and the six treys were one shy of matching his season high. Beal will try to stay hot during Friday's tilt against the Nets.

Beal generated 47 points (13-31 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 17-18 FT), six assists, a steal and a block across 38 minutes in Tuesday's 151-131 loss to the Bucks.

It's hard to knock Beal's recent string of stat lines, as he's averaged 40.3 points, 6.3 assists and 3.5 rebounds over the last four contests. He's also converted shots at a 56.6 percent clip over that span, although those numbers took a hit in the 20-point loss, where he clocked in at 41.9 percent from the field. Win or lose, Beal remains a must-start in all formats.

Beal had 40 points (12-22 FG, 1-5 3PT, 15-18 FT), six assists, three rebounds and one steal in 38 minutes during Sunday's 152-133 loss at Atlanta.

Beal has been playing at an extremely high level of late and averaged 35.8 points in four games while making 59.6 points of his shots during the last seven days. He has been Washington's top scoring threat all season long and that shouldn't change moving forward.

Beal generated 36 points (15-22 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists and two rebounds in 29 minutes during Thursday's 124-112 win over the Cavaliers.

Beal was dominant for the second straight night, having racked up 38 points (on 66.7 percent shooting), nine boards and five dimes during Wednesday's overtime loss to the Heat. Sporting career highs in scoring, assists and free-throw percentage, Beal is among the best options across all fantasy formats and makes for an appealing choice in daily leagues heading into Sunday's matchup versus a porous Hawks defense.

Beal had 38 points (16-24 FG, 2-8 3PT, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 134-129 overtime loss at Miami.

Beal has been playing at a very high level since returning from a five-game absence five games ago, as he is averaging 25.8 points per game on 51.6 percent from the field during that stretch. He has connected just 28.1 percent of his threes during that span, however, but he is producing points at an elite rate so those accuracy issues can be overlooked as long as he keeps scoring at this clip.

Beal had 29 points (10-21 FG, 2-7 3PT, 7-8 FT) and six assists in 33 minutes during Monday's win over Detroit.

Beal once again led the way for the Wizards, who improved to 9-11 at home on the year. He led the team in shot attempts and was one of only two players (Ian Mahinmi) to top 20 points. The contest marked Beal's fourth game back from an injury that cost him seven games in December and early January.

Beal had 14 points (4-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists, two rebounds and one block in 23 minutes during Friday's 140-111 loss to the Raptors.

Beal finished with as many turnovers (three) as assists while making only a third of his field goal attempts, earning a season low minute total and matching his season low in points. He has been limited to 27 minutes or less in four of his last five appearances, this after earning less than 30 minutes just once this season prior to this recent stretch.

Beal had 23 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3PT, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 115-106 loss against the Bulls.

Beal has topped the 20-point mark in his two outings following a five-game absence, but his long-range shooting has fallen off a cliff since he has made just 18.2 percent from deep during those two contests. Beal is shooting a career-low 30.9 percent from long range during the current season despite scoring a career-high 27.6 points per game in 2019-20.

Beal (shoulder) will play Wednesday against the Bulls.

The 26-year-old was added to the injury report earlier Wednesday and was considered questionable with right shoulder soreness, but he'll still be suiting up in Chicago. Beal returned from a five-game absence due to a lower leg injury Sunday and put up 25 points, one rebound and four assists in 27, so he shouldn't be limited versus the Bulls.

Beal is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to a sore right shoulder.

Beal missed five games earlier in the month due to a lower leg injury, but he returned Sunday against the Jazz and tallied 25 points, four assists, one rebound and one steal in 27 minutes. His status should clear up closer to tip-off. If Beal is unable to play, look for Troy Brown to benefit from increased run.

Beal tallied 25 points (11-25 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four assists, one rebound and one steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 127-116 loss to the Jazz.

Beal returned to the rotation after sitting seven of the last eight games with a lower leg injury. With two full days to rest and recover in advance of Wednesday's matchup versus the Bulls, Beal will have a decent chance to deliver a bounce-back performance against a squad missing two of its top defenders (Wendell Carter and Otto Porter).

Beal (lower leg) logged a full practice Saturday and is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Jazz.

Beal has missed five consecutive games due to a lower leg injury. His full participation at Saturday's practice indicates he is trending in the right direction. If he does get cleared to play it is unclear what type, if any, minute restrictions he will face.

Beal (lower leg) remains sidelined Friday against Atlanta.

Lower-leg soreness will cause Beal to miss his fifth straight game and his seventh in the last eight. Gary Payton II has been the primary beneficiary in his absence.

Beal (leg) is considered questionable for Friday's game against Atlanta.

Beal is once again listed as questionable, but it's unclear if that means much, as he's missed the last four games -- and six of the last seven. Nonetheless, expect a more definitive update after shootaround Friday.

Beal (lower leg) will not play Wednesday against the Magic.

Beal went through Wednesday's shootaround, but he'll sit out for the sixth time in seven games as he continues to work back from a lower-leg injury. With Beal unavailable, Gary Payton should continue to benefit from an increased role. Beal's next chance to play will come Friday against Atlanta.
