Bradley Beal Struggles in Return to Phoenix as Clippers Fall to Suns
Bradley Beal had a tough game in his first visit back to Phoenix since his July buyout from the Suns, as the Los Angeles Clippers lost 115–102 on the road Thursday night. The game was Beal's first in Phoenix since the Suns' failed attempt to build a long-term "big three" with Beal, Kevin Durant, and Devin Booker.
Beal’s Performance and Game Context
Beal posted just five points, one rebound, and one assist, shooting only 14.3 percent from the field. His scoring was among the lowest of his 14-year career. The Clippers were missing James Harden and Kawhi Leonard during this game.
Suns’ Key Contributions
Phoenix’s Devin Booker led the Suns with 24 points, seven assists, and six rebounds, helping the team maintain a strong lead and ultimately win the game.
“The Suns improved to 4-5 at home while the Clippers fell to 3-5 overall, struggling especially on the road at 0-3.”
Game Progression
- The Clippers led 51–48 at halftime.
- The Suns surged in the third quarter, scoring 40 points to take an 88–74 lead.
- Phoenix maintained control in the final quarter despite a Clippers comeback effort.
Season Series Outlook
Both teams currently hold a 1-1 record against each other this season. They will meet again on Saturday when the Clippers host the Suns, with the series lead up for grabs.
Summary: Bradley Beal’s return to Phoenix was hampered by poor shooting amid the Clippers’ injury struggles, while the Suns leveraged strong team effort to secure a key home victory.
