Injuries have defined Bradley Beal\u2019s<\/a> Phoenix Suns<\/a> tenure, and a left hamstring strain will sideline him once more. Now approaching almost two seasons with the franchise, Beal has already missed 50 games, including 21 this season. His latest setback occurred in the Suns\u2019 107-96<\/a> loss to the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a>\u00a0on Sunday afternoon, as he did not return for the second half after recording four points.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the Suns\u2019 back-to-back against the Toronto Raptors<\/a>, head coach Mike Budenholzer said they will re-evaluate<\/a> Beal in a week following his MRI. He watched on from the bench as his team dispatched the Raptors in a 40-point<\/a> victory.<\/p>\n

Latest Beal Injury Setback Adds to Long List<\/h3>\n

With at least a week out, Beal is set to miss a minimum of three games – excluding the game he already missed – against the Chicago Bulls<\/a>, Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a>, and Milwaukee Bucks<\/a>. If his recovery goes well, he could make a return against the Boston Celtics<\/a> or Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It has been a disastrous stretch of a year-and-a-half for Beal, who has just been unable to shake the injury bug. This left hamstring strain is the 12th different injury designation he has been given this season, ranging from soreness to strains and injury management. Initially, they removed Beal from the Lakers game due to hamstring soreness; however, they\u2019ve now upgraded the diagnosis to a strain. This has all added up to 21 missed games and counting, with the guard\u2019s long-term future in the city in doubt.<\/p>\n
