Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal started the second half of Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards for rookie Ryan Dunn, who suffered a left ankle sprain in the first half.

Bradley Beal and Zach LaVine are in trade rumors, and there's a chance that they could be swapped for each other.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal is ruled out of Wednesday’s game against Brooklyn at Barclays Center with a left ankle sprain after playing Monday at Cleveland following a two-game absence with the injury.

But the Suns are only looking toward the bright side as they return home after their five-game road trip in which they went 3-2. The road swing ended on a 24-point win at Brooklyn, the Suns' second-largest margin of victory behind their 127-100 home rout of the Los Angeles Lakers on Nov. 26.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal and big Jusuf Nurkic practiced Friday heading into Saturday’s rematch against the Washington Wizards at Footprint Center to begin a three-game homestand.
