Starting in undersized unit Coach Mike Budenholzer said Thursday that Beal will start alongside Tyus Jones and Devin Booker in 2024-25, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Beal will once again be a part of a three-guard lineup in Phoenix, as Jones will replace Grayson Allen as a starter. Beal's 18.2 points per contest in 2023-24 were his lowest since 2015-16, but the introduction of a true point guard into the starting unit could help him return to his previous scoring form. However, the 31-year-old will still certainly be behind Kevin Durant and Devin Booker in the offensive pecking order.

Undergoes minor nose procedure Beal underwent a minor procedure to realign his septum shortly after the Suns were eliminated from the 2024 NBA Playoffs, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Beal broke his nose after taking an elbow from Myles Turner during the second half of a Jan. 26 loss to the Pacers and had to wear a mask for several games. He eventually ditched the mask but still had trouble breathing out of his right nostril during the final months of the campaign. After dropping 36 points on the Timberwolves in the regular-season finale, Beal averaged just 16.5 points during the opening-round series as Minnesota swept Phoenix. Beal is expected to play a key role for the Suns next season, but things are subject to change, as Phoenix fired Frank Vogel early in the offseason and quickly hired Mike Budenholzer.
