The Suns acquired Beal from the Wizards in the summer of 2023 in a deal that sent Chris Paul to the Wizards. The three-time All-Star left Washington second on the franchise’s all-time scoring list with 15,391 points in 11 seasons, just 160 points behind Elvin Hayes.

There is no truth to the report that Phoenix Suns star Bradley Beal would be open to waiving his no-trade clause to join the Los Angeles Lakers, his agent, Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports and Entertainment made it clear.

“The caveat is that Beal can scuttle any trade, as he's one of only two NBA players with official no-trade clauses. LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers is the other.”
