The Suns’ front office faces a nightmare scenario with one of their top players sidelined for an extended period. Beal’s re-evaluation at the turn of the year adds uncertainty, and the team must adapt defensively and offensively in his absence.
Despite a 14-12 record, the Suns are currently 10th in the West, clinging to a play-in spot. The challenge is significant, and historical trends suggest a tough road ahead for a team striving to contend.
