Ty Lue answering questions on Bradley Beal’s availability. Apparently his knee is acting up during the rehab process (shout-out Kiwi).

“Beal last played an NBA game on November 8, 2025. On this day a year ago, it was announced that Beal would undergo season-ending surgery to repair a fractured hip, Beal has been cleared of the hip recovery, but his knee has been an issue.” - Law Murray

Bradley is current in the first year of a 2 year 13 million dollar contract, with a player option next season.

The Phoenix Suns will still be paying Bradley around 20 million per season until 2030.

Coming to you from the same team that traded an unprotected 2033 first for “Miles Bridges”

So actually it does make a little bit of sense

He earned it tbh. Wasn’t dirty at all in his three years as a Suns player and was the most willing player to keep changing his role as needed each year as the team changed around him.

The suns owe him 97 million dollars they will be paying him no matter what, 19 mil a year until 2030

His family/estate would receive payments

Though I imagine they have life insurance for players

Im sure you dont know, but does life insurance kick in if the player is actively playing for another team and your payments are just dead cap?

I cant imagine life insurance pays lut to both teams.

Somebody knew it was a bad fit, that he was injury prone and that he had that near Supermax and NTC.

Y’all like to flame Nico but someone ( over James Jones) knew all these red flags and insisted on taking the chance knowing they would likely not be there if it came to get rid of it.

Nothing makes sense with the Suns. It’s why we are a poverty franchise. The emotional downfall of our fandom from being up 2-0 in the 2021 finals with so much promising young players, to where we are now, is hard to stomach. Who knew someone could actually almost somewhat yearn for the Sarver years…….almost.

One vet down that i dont have to be worried about to get minutes from the young players, 7 more to go hopefully they trade some

InTheMorning_Nightss | LAC

Honestly a blessing in disguise.

People were livid and saying it was dumb that we didn’t re-sign Mathurin, but I’m so glad we don’t feel obligated to give him minutes. We need Wagler, Miller, and Gradey minutes way more (and this doesn’t even include Jordan Miller).

At this point, Beal is just a vet presence we like who is basically salary filler for potential trades with a small guarantee next season. He’s been cheering on the young guys a lot, and I think there’s value in that.

Jimmy0034 | LAC

Like the other day Sanders had 7 assists, i want see if we can get more out of our young players. Baba Miller is limited with the current situation but i feel he can do more since he is so comfortable with the ball while being 7’0

pretty sure he can retire and the suns still have to pay him the rest kind of doesn’t matter if he’s playing or not

how are you a coach and don’t know when your player could return from injury

Amazing_Owl3026 | CHA

4 | 3 hours ago

It’s not always clear, his injury isn’t responding as expected. It’s the medical staffs job to know this stuff anyway

Specialist_Office274 | ATL

Yea but as the coach you aren’t talking with the medical staff? At least to know a rough time frame

Amazing_Owl3026 | CHA

1 | 3 hours ago

It sounds like more than once they thought he was just weeks away but then the ramp up resulted in a set back. When that happens several times it can be hard to know when he’ll be back.

But it’s not like I know, I’m just giving him the benefit of the doubt since I think Lu is a good coach

Doesn’t change the fact that all he accomplished in LA was cheating and not making the Finals.

[Murray] Ty Lue (on Bradley Beal’s return): “Every time we get him on the court to do something three days in a row, it’s not good results.. Just gotta stay with it.” Lue when asked about a timetable: “You gotta talk to somebody else man. I don’t know.”
