NBA Rumors: Suns' Bradley Beal Evaluating Free Agency Options in Anticipation of Buyout, per Report
- Bradley Beal, a 32-year-old three-time All-Star, completed his second season with the Phoenix Suns and is expected to be bought out soon.
- The buyout discussions follow months of unsuccessful trade rumors and a disappointing Suns season finishing 36-46 after trading Kevin Durant.
- Beal appeared in 53 games last season, starting 38, and contributed an average of 17 points, nearly 4 assists, and just over 3 rebounds per contest while dealing with injuries and contract pressures.
- NBA insider Marc Stein reported that Beal is actively considering his options in free agency and is likely to draw significant attention after his contract buyout makes him a free agent without restrictions.
- If bought out, Beal’s availability could impact the free agent market, offering value to other teams despite the $110 million left on his contract.
