The Phoenix Suns listed guard Bradley Beal out for Sunday’s matchup at the Minnesota Timberwolves with a left calf strain.

Grayson Allen (right hamstring soreness) and Jusuf Nurkic (left ankle sprain) were both listed as available, while superstar Kevin Durant remained out with a left calf strain suffered last week.

Beal has missed the last two Suns games which saw Phoenix lose to the Sacramento Kings and Oklahoma City Thunder. Royce O’Neale and Ryan Dunn started in place of Beal and Durant.

Beal has been banged up this season having missed three games while previously dealing with an elbow issue. When healthy, Beal has averaged 17.8 points per game while shooting 47.5 percent from the field.

Allen has missed the last three games with hamstring and ankle injuries. The seventh-year guard has averaged nine points per game while shooting 34.7 percent from the field.

The Minnesota Timberwolves, the seventh seed in the Western Conference at 7-6, won’t be missing any of their regular rotation players, as the only four listed on the injury report (Leonard Miller and two-ways Jaylen Clark, Jesse Edwards and Daishen Nix) will be with Minnesota’s G League team, the Iowa Wolves.

Tip-off for the Suns at the Timberwolves is set for 1:30 p.m. MST on Sunday. The game will air on Arizona Sports 98.7, the Arizona Sports app and AZ Family 3TV.
