The Phoenix Suns bounced back from their previous defeat and took down the LA Clippers 119-117 in a thrilling encounter on Tuesday, March 4. The game saw Kevin Durant leading the side with 34 points, seven rebounds and four assists to help them record their 29th win of the season.

However, the Suns’ victory was marred by a setback in the form of Bradley Beal’s calf soreness. Beal complained of calf tightness during the second quarter and was forced to walk out. Though Beal was expected to make a comeback, the Suns ruled him out for the rest of the game.

The three-time All-Star played for fifteen minutes but failed to score any point. He recorded two rebounds and two assists. After Bradley was sidelined, backup point guard Tyus Jones started instead of him in the second half. He finished the night with six points, one rebound and five assists.

Notably, Beal missed out two straight games due to the same issue and was questionable for tonight’s game. However, he was later given a green light ahead of the tip-off, which proved to be a wrong decision for the side.

Coming back to the game, Devin Booker followed Durant with 17 points, five rebounds and eight assists. Nick Richards chipped in 16 points and seven rebounds. On the other hand, Ivica Zubac recorded 35 points with ten rebounds and three assists. Kawhi Leonard and James Harden finished the night with 21 points, each.

The Suns will be up against the Nuggets on Friday, March 7. Beal can be expected to return to the court, depending on the seriousness of his injury.
