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.
