Report: Suns discussing buyout with G Bradley Beal

The Phoenix Suns are discussing a possible buyout with veteran guard Bradley Beal, the Arizona Republic reported.

Beal, who turned 32 last month, has two years and nearly $111 million remaining on his contract, per Spotrac.

The three-time All-Star signed a five-year, $251 million deal with a no-trade clause in July 2022 when he was still with the Washington Wizards.

Beal has been limited to 53 games in each of his two seasons with the Suns, and he has not played as many as 60 games in any season since 2020-21.

Beal averaged 17.0 points, 3.7 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 53 games (38 starts) last season. He has career averages of 21.5 points, 4.3 assists and 4.1 rebounds in 801 games (752 starts) with the Wizards and Suns.

Washington drafted Beal with the No. 3 overall pick in 2012. His 31.3 scoring average in 2020-21 was the second-highest in franchise history and second-highest in the NBA that season behind Golden State's Stephen Curry (32.0).
