The Phoenix Suns narrowly defeated the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night, 111-109. Bradley Beal had a tough night, scoring only nine points on 3-for-8 shooting. Before the game, however, reporters were able to ask the star guard about what happened over the weekend.
On Saturday night the Suns hosted Beal's former team, the Washington Wizards, at the Footprint Center. At the very end of the game a fan sitting near the court was ejected, allegedly for yelling "Jimmy Butler!" at Beal while he was at the free throw line. Beal has been linked to Butler in trade rumors ever since the Miami Heat star made his desire to play elsewhere clear, and the noise has only gotten louder since Butler wore Suns-colored sneakers last week.
