Phoenix Suns star guard Bradley Beal is questionable with left hamstring tightness he suffered before the NBA All-Star break for tomorrow’s game against the Dallas Mavericks.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!This will be the Suns’ first game out of the break. Beal missed the Suns’ last contest, a 116-100 victory over the Detroit Pistons last Wednesday. He suffered the injury during last Tuesday’s win over the Sacramento Kings in the first quarter and did not return.
In addition to the hamstring injury, Beal also underwent a nasal procedure to fix his nasal fracture suffered Jan. 26 over the break.
The Suns want to see how he responds to today’s practice before determining his status, coach Frank Vogel said today. Vogel added Beal will still wear a protective mask on his nose despite the procedure, per AZ Central’s Duane Rankin.
"We had him get a little work in today, but not overdo it with 3 games in 4 nights."
