Having just returned to play exactly 1 match after more than a month on the sidelines, Bradley Beal once again had to leave the football field with an extremely painful ankle injury.
The All-Star defender of the Phoenix Suns seems to be extremely unlucky this season as he has suffered his third injury since the beginning of the season. This time, Bradley Beal unfortunately landed on his opponent’s leg and flipped his ankle.
The unfortunate situation happened right in the first half of the match between Phoenix and the New York Knicks on December 16.
Showing extreme pain after the foul landing, Bradley Beal tried to complete his free kicks before returning to the locker room and saying goodbye to the match.
While his teammates have played until their 25th match, the scoring star born in 1993 has only appeared 6 times, averaging 16.4 points and 3.6 assists with 40% 3PT.
The bad luck is that this is only the second game that Beal has returned from his back injury, which has caused him to miss 12 consecutive matches since the beginning of the season.
“I felt sad for him, knowing that Brad had been training very hard and was extremely focused on his recovery for competition. He’s really unlucky during this time,” head coach Frank Vogel said about Bradley Beal.
“The sad thing is that Brad himself also seemed disappointed. Now we will find a way to cheer him up. The season is still long ahead and he still has many opportunities. Personally, I hope Brad will have better luck the rest of this season.”
Bradley Beal was brought in by the Phoenix Suns in the summer transfer market to create a “super squad” with the trio of Beal, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. But injuries have caused the Suns’ big-3 to only play together. Exactly 1 match since the beginning of the season.
This makes many Phoenix fans worried because their stars do not have many opportunities to build cohesion, a prerequisite for a team aiming to compete at a high level.
Having also experienced many obstacles in his career and at one point injured his husband, Kevin Durant showed great sympathy for his teammate.
“Unlucky things like this still happen and injuries are a part of basketball anyway. Then everything will soon be positive again”, Kevin Durant said.
“We have a great team and quality medical team here, any players who are unfortunate enough to be injured will be well looked after. I firmly believe that Bradley Beal will come back even stronger and so will this team.”
The severity of the injury that Bradley Beal suffered is unknown, only that he was temporarily taken off the field indefinitely for further examination and examination.
It is very likely that Beal will miss the encounter with his old team Washington Wizards taking place next Monday morning Vietnam time. Before coming to the Phoenix Suns, Bradley Beal played 11 seasons for the Washington football team and made the All-Star team 3 times.
