“Major Blow for Suns: Bradley Beal Sidelined for Minimum 3 Weeks Due to Back Woes! 😱☀️ #NBA #InjuryUpdate”

Star guard Bradley Beal will be absent from the Phoenix Suns lineup until sometime in December due to a lower back strain, as announced by the team on Friday. The team revealed that Beal’s absence for at least the next three weeks was determined after a thorough re-evaluation and consultation on his injury.

Having been acquired from Washington in June, the 30-year-old player missed the initial seven games of the season due to a back injury. Although he made his debut in a close 116-115 overtime loss to the Chicago Bulls on Nov. 8 and played in the subsequent two games, his back issues resurfaced.

Beal, who boasted an average of 22.1 points during his 11 seasons with Washington, last played on Nov. 12 in a game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, where the Suns suffered a 111-99 loss. The Suns, grappling with injuries to key players Beal and Devin Booker, have seen Kevin Durant as the sole constant in their star trio, with Durant appearing in all 11 games.

In the three games Beal played with Phoenix this season, he maintained an average of 17.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game. The Suns are gearing up for their next challenge, an In-Season Tournament matchup against the Utah Jazz on Friday at 10 ET, airing on ESPN.
