BRADLEY BEAL NEWS

Questionable to play Sunday Beal (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Beal missed Friday's 134-126 win over the Jazz after experiencing swelling on his knee, and the questionable tag suggests a decision on his status will be made closer to Sunday's 8 p.m. ET tipoff. If Beal is unable to suit up, then Royce O'Neale would probably remain in the starting lineup at one of the forward spots alongside Kevin Durant. Beal is averaging 16.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steals per game in four appearances in December.

Added to injury report Beal has been added to the injury report ahead of Friday's game versus the Jazz in Utah due to right knee swelling, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact Beal has played in six of the Suns' previous seven games, including four straight, but that streak is now up in the air. Final confirmation on his status will presumably depend on how his knee is feeling after it gets tested out in pregame warmups.

Efficient 18 points Sunday Beal amassed 18 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 35 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 115-110 loss to the Magic.

Impact It was a strong effort out of Beal, who has now scored at least 15 points in seven of his last eight games. In five appearances with Kevin Durant (ankle) unavailable this season, Beal is now averaging 21.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers per contest. Beal should continue to have more ball-handling responsibilities on his plate while Durant remains sidelined, and the 31-year-old star guard has a favorable matchup Friday against a Jazz club that ranks 28th in the league in defensive efficiency rating (117.9).
