Just now, in the Suns' game against the Knicks, Beal was injured again. I saw Bill face DiVincenzo jump shot, and accidentally stepped on DiVincenzo's heel when he landed, and his ankle was deformed by 90 degrees, which looked quite critical. It's not just bad luck, since Beal joined the Suns in the offseason to form the Big Three with Durant and Booker, the three have barely played together.
The three of them are always injured in turn, and Bill has only played 5 games so far this season, before a back injury, and finally waited for him to come back, and the ankle injury came again, this season's Suns, it's too difficult. It's not just the injury issues, but the Suns' run-in is also problematic, averaging just 16 per game in the five games Beal has played4 points, 4 rebounds, 36 assists.
The shooting percentage was as low as 433%, which is almost the lowest since the rookie period. Of the three superstars who are known for their singles with the ball, almost all of them want the ball, among them, the worst adaptability is obviously Bill, and the one who should make the most sacrifice should also be Bill.
On the one hand, there is the issue of seniority, Booker was selected by the Suns and made a name for himself here, while Durant is one of the world's most famous superstars and has established a fairly high status in the Suns. On the other hand, there is the issue of ability, Booker proved himself early in the playoffs, and Durant needless to say, the top two and three superstars in the league at his peak.
As for Beal, in terms of contract amount, Beal is definitely a supergiant, and in 2022, Beal signed a 5-year deal with the Wizards5.1 billion super contract, at that time, because Beal had been with the Wizards for a long time, and no other superstars were willing to vote, the salary space was also put away, so it was better to give it to a meritorious veteran.
Later, Beal was sent to the Suns, and the contract was even more difficult to handle. The original idea of the Suns was to concentrate their firepower and create a super offensive powerhouse that could blow everything up on the offensive end. However, Beal's offensive level and injury resistance are obviously far below expectations, so the Suns may have been busy for another year this season, and Durant is a year older.
