Bradley Beal made a significant impact coming off the bench for the Phoenix Suns, scoring 25 points in a 109-99 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, which ended a four-game losing streak. This marked Beal's first time in a reserve role in nine years, and he contributed 20 points in the second half, helping the Suns overcome a 12-point deficit. Coach Mike Budenholzer's decision to alter the lineup, which also included placing Jusuf Nurkic on the bench, paid off as the Suns' bench outscored Philadelphia's reserves 54-7. Tyrese Maxey led the 76ers with 31 points, but the absence of Joel Embiid due to injury was felt, as they suffered their third loss in four games. Beal expressed his respect for the coaching decision while asserting his belief as a starter in the league. Overall, Beal's performance underscored his versatility and commitment to the team's success.
