The Suns officially listed Beal as out with left calf injury management against Memphis. This came after Beal stressed the importance of a win against the Grizzlies after Phoenix's 125-116 victory Sunday over the Dallas Mavericks in which Beal had 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting and six assists.

At the trade deadline last month, when the Suns needed to find a new home for Bradley Beal to complete a Jimmy Butler trade, there was no deal to be made. Part of that was a limited market for Beal, but a more significant issue was Beal having a no-trade clause that he would have to waive for any deal to get done.
