With the offseason trade to acquire Bradley Beal, the Suns were one of the most talked-about teams in the NBA given the level of star power they tout in the Western Conference. The only problem is Beal has yet to make his regular-season debut for Phoenix and ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith is a bit concerned over the apparent trend with the superstar guard.
Beal played in one preseason game for the Suns but hasn’t played since due to back spasms after having lower back tightness. Devin Booker hasn’t played since the season-opener either while dealing with a left ankle sprain, leaving Kevin Durant as the lone member of the team’s big three through the bulk of the early stages of the new year.
Looking at all of this, Smith highlighted some alarming numbers while talking about Beal’s injury history.
