Beal (hamstring) will play in Saturday's game against the Rockets, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports. Head coach Frank Vogel said Beal will be on a minutes "range," according to Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic.
EDGE Analysis
This was the expectation, as Beal was upgraded to probable prior to this update. This will be Beal's first game since Feb. 13, so Vogel's words about a minutes restriction aren't surprising at all. His return will be a big relief to Phoenix, as they are missing Eric Gordon (groin).

Beal (hamstring) is probable for Saturday's game against the Rockets, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beal's on track to suit up following a five-game absence, but given he hasn't played since Feb. 13, it's safe to assume he'll have some restrictions to avoid a potential setback. Before suffering the hamstring injury, Beal was playing well, averaging 22.6 points, 6.1 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 36.4 minutes per game.

Beal (hamstring) will not play Thursday against the Rockets, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will be the fifth straight game on the shelf for Beal, and he hasn't played since Feb. 13. His next chance to suit up will be in a rematch versus the Rockets on Saturday. With Eric Gordon (groin) also out, Royce O'Neale is likely to see a significant workload Thursday.

Beal (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Rockets, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beal and Eric Gordon (groin) are both questionable, so it's unclear what the Suns' backcourt rotation will look like at this point. If Beal is cleared to suit up, he'll presumably be limited given it would be his first appearance since Feb. 13.

Beal (hamstring) participated in non-contract parts of Tuesday's practice, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beal has missed four straight games dating back to before the All-Star break, and while he hasn't been cleared for full-contract work yet, he continues to trend in the right direction. Eric Gordon (groin) and Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) were also limited participants Tuesday, but they'll have one more day to recover before attempting to suit up Thursday versus Houston.

Beal (hamstring) will not play Sunday against the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Beal will miss his fourth straight game Sunday as the Suns continue to err on the side of caution. Phoenix is off until Thursday against Houston after they face the Lakers, but it remains to be seen if Beal will recover in time for that one. Eric Gordon, who has been starting in Beal's absence, is questionable with left groin soreness.

Beal (hamstring) won't play in Friday's game versus the Rockets, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beal will miss his third straight game Friday, as expected, after being downgraded from doubtful to out due to a left hamstring strain. The star guard's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with the Lakers.

Beal (hamstring/nose) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Rockets, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beal was unavailable for Thursday's game against the Mavericks and was considered unlikely to play Friday, so his doubtful designation isn't surprising. Assuming he's sidelined once again, Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen could see increased run.

Beal (hamstring/nose) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Mavericks and is unlikely to play Friday against Houston, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beal has been dealing with a hamstring issue recently and also recently underwent a procedure to address his broken nose. He'll be unavailable for the Suns' first game after the All-Star break and will likely sit out the second half of the back-to-back set. Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen are candidates to see increased run in Beal's continued absence.

Beal (hamstring/nose) is questionable for Thursday's game against Dallas, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beal is nursing a hamstring injury, which caused him to miss Phoenix's final game before the All-Star break. However, he also recently underwent a procedure to address his broken nose, which he'd been playing through while donning a mask. It's unclear which issue is causing the most problems, but it's safe to assume he'll be a game-time decision Thursday.
