The Phoenix Suns have started the season in underwhelming fashion. For a team with title aspirations, the Suns have managed only 18 wins from 32 games. This record puts them outside the guaranteed playoff spots of the Western Conference. Their mediocre performance becomes even more puzzling considering the high level of talent that the Suns’ roster boasts. However, recurring injuries to Bradley Beal have had a detrimental impact on Phoenix’s season so far.

Nevertheless, with Bradley Beal’s return to the starting lineup, the Suns have shown a marked improvement. In a recent interview, Suns’ center, Jusuf Nurkić, acknowledged Beal’s transformative impact.

Bradley Beal’s transformative impact on the Suns’ fortunes

During a post-match interview, following the Suns’ 21-point victory over the Trail Blazers, Jusuf Nurkić credited Beal for turning their fortunes around. He said, “Bradley Beal. Don’t even finish. Bradley Beal. He changed everything… Having a guard like that, who can score that much as his intention. People got to prepare for three of them. We demand for him to be out there, and when he is out there it doesn’t matter what he do for us. Just being out there makes a big difference.”

The Suns are showing signs of improvement. They have won four consecutive games and three have come with Beal in the lineup. The prospect of facing Durant, Booker, and Beal is a daunting task for even the best sides in the league. However, keeping them fit has proven to be a challenging task. Beal, Booker, and KD have all missed some games due to injuries or fatigue. Phoenix’s success is closely linked to its “big-three”. If they fall short of winning a championship, it could be catastrophic, given that the Suns have invested heavily in this core trio.
