The Phoenix Suns will take on the defending NBA champions, Boston Celtics on Wednesday, March 26th at the PHX Arena. The talking point from the Suns perspective would be whether Bradley Beal will start against Boston Celtics or not.
Will Bradley Beal start against defending champions Boston Celtics?
The 31-year-old shooting guard will be missing the clash against the Boston Celtics due to a left hamstring strain. He last featured on March 16 against the Los Angeles Lakers and had not played since then.
Earlier, Suns coach Mike Budenholzer provided the reporters with a positive update on Beal's condition ahead of their Milwaukee Bucks skirmish. He added that he was making 'good progress' and his recovery would be crucial for the Suns as they look for a desperate playoff berth scramble.
It has been a tough season for the veteran as he has struggled due to injuries. He has only featured in 48 games for the Phoenix this season as he averages 17.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists while shooting 50.5% from the field and 39.5% from behind the arc.
The Boston Celtics are second in the Eastern Conference with a record of 53-19 and are on a six-game winning streak. On the other hand, the Suns are placed tenth in the Western Conference with a record of 35-37 and are on a four-game winning streak.
Bradley Beal open to trade this summer
One of the major trade news stories ahead of the deadline was Bradley Beal. From LA Lakers to Miami Heat, there were a number of teams that were linked to the All-Star guard. However, no deals happened as Beal was left to suit up for the Suns for the remainder of the season. He earlier shared his thoughts on keeping his options open in the summer.
It is a different deal in the summer, Beal said. Everything is kind of more laid out on the table. You got more options... and my biggest thing is when I came here, I want to win. I’ve scored 30 points a game. I’ve been an All-Star. I’ve been All-NBA. I want to win. That’s always been my label -- I haven’t won anything.
He even added that he is open to whatever role is expected from him, whether as a starter or coming off the bench.
