MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, JUL 6 – The Suns plan a $110 million buyout to reduce Bradley Beal's $53.7 million cap hit this season and gain roster flexibility, with multiple NBA teams expected to pursue him as a free agent.
- The Phoenix Suns are finalizing a buyout agreement with Bradley Beal on July 7, 2025, to reduce his salary cap impact and move on from him.
