It was a crushing blow considering it was only his sixth game of the season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>X-rays were negative and an MRI revealed no structural damage. The Suns will evaluate Beal in early January.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Beal knocked down a 3-point shot but he landed on Donte DiVincenzo\u2019s foot and rolled his ankle. Officials reviewed the incident and called DiVincenzo for a flagrant 1 foul since he failed to allow Beal space to land after his jump shot.<\/p>\n<p>The Knicks held off the Suns, 139-122, thanks to a 50-point eruption by point guard Jalen Brunson. The Knicks hadn\u2019t defeated a team with Kevin Durant in more than 10 years, but finally got off the schneid with the road victory.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Another_Injury_Another_Setback_for_Beal\"><\/span>Another Injury, Another Setback for Beal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>De <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/phoenix-suns-odds-bradley-beal-trade-wizards\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Suns acquired Beal<\/a> in a blockbuster trade with the Washington Wizards in the offseason. They sent future Hall of Fame point guard Chris Paul and multiple draft picks to the Wizards, who then flipped Paul <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/wizards-trade-chris-paul-warriors-jordan-poole\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">to the Golden State Warriors for shooting guard Jordan Poole<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/mat-ishibia-buys-phoenix-suns-mercury-4-billion\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mat Ishbia purchased the Suns<\/a> in the middle of last season for a record price tag of $4 billion. He wanted to put his imprint on the team by assembling a \u201cBig 3\u201d with Durant, Devin Booker, and Beal.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Beal missed most of this season with a back injury and his debut with the Suns was delayed while he recovered from a sprained back. He appeared in three games in November before he aggravated his ailing back, and was sidelined for almost another month.<\/p>\n<p>Beal averaged 16.4 points per game in five full games before he went down with an ankle injury against the Knicks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p>Without Beal, the Suns will rely on Devin Booker and Durant to provide additional scoring. The Suns are ranked #15 in the NBA in scoring and average 114.9 points per game. The Suns specifically added Beal to alleviate the scoring burden on their top two stars, but injuries derailed their plan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>There were only two games this season in which neither Booker nor Durant led the Suns in scoring. Guard Grayson Allen led the Suns with 26 points in an overtime victory against the Chicago Bulls in early November. Center Jusuf Nurkic dropped 31 points in a loss against the defending champion Denver Nuggets in early December.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Next_Man_Up_Grayson_Allen_Eric_Gordon\"><\/span>Next Man Up: Grayson Allen, Eric Gordon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With Beal sidelined, the Suns will rely on the veteran tandem of Allen and Eric Gordon to log more minutes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/phoenix-suns-hire-frank-vogel-new-head-coach\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Head coach Frank Vogel<\/a> experimented with Booker at point guard, and Allen started 22 games at shooting guard this season. Allen averages 12.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Suns acquired Allen, formerly of the Milwaukee Bucks, in a multiteam trade with the Portland Trail Blazers that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/milwaukee-bucks-odds-futures-bump-damian-lillard-trade\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sent Damian Lillard to the Bucks<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gordon started 16 games for the Suns this season. He averages 13.8 points and 2.8 assists per game, and emerged as the Suns\u2019 most reliable scorer aside from Durant and Booker.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Second-year guard Jordan Goodwin earned Vogel\u2019s trust and he\u2019s been logging 20 minutes per game off the bench.
