Bradley Beal's Future Reportedly to Be Discussed by Suns After Budenholzer's Firing

The Phoenix Suns will "have discussions" surrounding Bradley Beal's long-term future with the organization during the offseason, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.

The Suns already made a major change on Monday, firing head coach Mike Budenholzer after just one season with the team.

Phoenix is "set to retool around" star guard Devin Booker moving forward after parting ways with Budenholzer, per Charania.

The Suns acquired Beal from the Washington Wizards as part of a blockbuster three-team trade in June 2023, sending out a package that included Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, four future first-round pick swaps and six future second-round picks in return.

Beal's tenure in Phoenix has been marred by injuries, suiting up in 106 of a possible 164 games over his two seasons with the organization.

He was limited to just 53 appearances during his 2024-25 campaign, averaging 17.0 points and 3.3 rebounds to go along with 3.7 assists per game on 49.7/38.6/80.3 shooting splits.

Beal struggled to make a consistent impact when healthy, owning the worst net rating among all Suns players to suit up in at least 40 games during the regular season (via NBA.com).

He has two years left on his current contract, which includes a $57.1 million player option for the 2026-27 season. His deal also contains a no-trade clause.

Beal reportedly had no desire to waive his no-trade clause when his name surfaced in rumors prior to the Feb. 6 trade deadline.

The 31-year-old has the power to stay in Phoenix, but it doesn't appear to be preventing the Suns from having a conversation regarding his long-term outlook with the team.
