Beal’s impact: Acquired this summer in a trade with Washington, the All-Star guard is averaging 14.7 points, 3.2 assists, and 3.3 rebounds in six games this season.

With Beal out for the rest of the season, the Suns (14-12) will rely more on Kevin Durant and Devin Booker to carry the load. Before Friday, Durant, Booker, and Beal had only played one game together this season.
