Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal is available for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers at Footprint Center with a right elbow sprain that continues to hamper him.

Beal is in the starting lineup along with Tyus Jones, Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Jusuf Nurkic.

Beal showed noticeable discomfort when attempting a free throw in the win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday. The three-time All-Star said after the game that his elbow had gotten stiff but indicated he was fine.

In his second season with the Suns, Beal is averaging 17.2 points. Beal participated in the morning shootaround and pregame warmups.

Suns coach Mike Budenholzer called the injury a “nagging thing.”

Beal has missed two of Phoenix's six games this season with a sprained elbow and is also dealing with soreness in his right shoulder. The Suns (5-1) are off to their best start ever in six games. They are on a four-game winning streak.

Paul George will make his 76ers debut on Monday as he is sidelined with a bone bruise in his left knee.

He injured his knee in a preseason game and has yet to play in the regular season for the 76ers (1-4), who were also without Joel Embiid.

The Big 76ers also did not play in the 2024-25 regular season as he is sidelined due to left knee injury treatment.
