Final Injury Report for Cavaliers-Suns, Will Bradley Beal Play?

The Phoenix Suns will look to continue their winning streak on Friday night when they host the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Phoenix enters Friday’s contest amid a two-game winning streak that has helped them climb to 10th in the Western Conference standings thanks to the Dallas Mavericks’ recent losing skid.

They will now face off against the Cavaliers who are struggling entering Friday’s matchup as they have lost three consecutive games since their 16-game winning streak was snapped on Sunday.

With the Cavaliers struggling and the Suns playing better as of late, Phoenix will look to grab another much-needed victory as they try to hold onto the final Play-In spot in the West.

Unfortunately for the Suns, they will once again be without their star guard Bradley Beal in Friday’s game as he has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury.

Beal has missed two consecutive games since leaving Sunday’s matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers due to a hamstring injury, and he is set to be out until he is reevaluated on March 24.

This is a massive blow for the Suns as Beal has been one of their most reliable scorers this season, but Phoenix has been able to play well without him.

With Beal still sidelined, expect Ryan Dunn and Collin Gillespie to continue to see increased minutes along with Tyus Jones.

Phoenix has also ruled out veteran center Mason Plumlee for Friday’s game due to a quadriceps injury. With Plumlee out, expect Oso Ighodaro and Bol Bol to see increased minutes.

The Suns have also upgraded Grayson Allen to questionable with a foot injury for Friday’s contest as he looks to return after missing five consecutive matchups.

On the other side, the Cavaliers enter Friday’s game fully healthy as they try to end their losing skid.

Fans can catch Friday’s matchup between the Cavaliers and Suns at 10:00 p.m. EST.
