The Phoenix Suns are facing a challenging situation in the 2024-25 NBA season, with ongoing tension in the locker room. Recently, the team made a surprising decision to have Bradley Beal and Jusuf Nurkic come off the bench in the upcoming games.
Evan Sidery from Forbes reports that there are considerable tensions between the Phoenix Suns and Bradley Beal. In his recent update on X (formerly known as Twitter), he addressed the ongoing circumstances surrounding this issue.
“There is real tension within the Suns’ organization around Bradley Beal. Beal has been disgruntled with his role, and now being moved to the bench could escalate his concerns. Don’t be surprised if this is a play from Phoenix to push Beal to waive his full no-trade clause.” Sidery wrote in his recent post.
