Suns G Bradley Beal ‘just happy to play’ during injury-plagued year

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal has been on a roller coaster of a season with the highest of highs met with the lowest of lows.

Throughout his first year so far in the Valley, Beal has suffered injuries or discomfort to his back, ankle, nose and hamstring that forced him to miss 29 games. In 12 seasons (2013-24) in the NBA as a whole, Beal has only played a full 82-game season twice (2017-19) as his career has been riddled by various injuries.

Last night off of a back-to-back, the Missouri native led Phoenix in scoring with 31 points in 34 minutes against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
