Suns guard Bradley Beal suffered another injury on Friday night, as he left his team’s game against the Knicks with a sprained right ankle in the first quarter and did not return. After the game, Phoenix coach Frank Vogel said Beal’s X-Rays came back negative.
Beal’s injury occurred when his right foot got twisted as he landed on Knicks guard Donte DiVincenzo’s left foot after shooting a three-pointer. DiVincenzo initially was called for a Flagrant 1 foul on the play as the refs determined he was in Beal’s landing space during the shot, but the call was overturned upon video review.
Beal has battled injuries in recent years, as he’s missed at least 22 games in each of the previous three seasons. This year, Beal has played in only six of the Suns’ 25 games after Phoenix traded for him in the offseason to pair with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker.
