Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal had another impressive outing off the bench on Thursday, going for 25 points and seven rebounds on 11 of 16 from the field in a win over the Atlanta Hawks. That was Beal's second 25-point outing since he was removed from the starting lineup earlier this month.

As he left the arena Thursday night, Beal didn’t sound like someone ready to give in. His role has changed. He has not.

Before the game against the Hawks, the Suns had a pre-game huddle like any other team would, and typically all the players join in. Beal didn't, though, avoiding the team huddle. It seems the locker room chemistry is only getting worse, and having a star like Beal on the bench will certainly make that happen.

I do think what’s happening now in Phoenix is worth keeping an eye on, because let’s face it: For any Bradley Beal deal, he’s not coming here [Miami], but I know for a fact there’s 3- and 4-way

Bradley Beal came off the bench for the first time in nine years and scored 25 points as the Phoenix Suns ended a four-game skid with a 109-99 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

Bradley Beal shouldn't be untouchable in a trade for the right team, especially if the Phoenix Suns include their 2031 draft pick.
