Bradley Beal Reflects on His Time with the Suns and Future
Bradley Beal returned to Phoenix on Thursday, Nov. 6, 2025, to share his thoughts about his stint with the Suns. Although uncertain about the full story, he acknowledged there was one to tell after the team’s difficult final two seasons.
Beal spoke for the first time to local media since his buyout agreement in July and subsequent move to the Los Angeles Clippers. Four months later, he reflected on what went wrong with the Suns, especially considering the high expectations placed on him, Devin Booker, and Kevin Durant.
Reluctance to Discuss Details
Throughout the conversation, Beal chose not to reveal specific details or behind-the-scenes issues. Whether regarding the regular season struggles or decisions about his future, he preferred to keep those matters private.
Acceptance and Moving Forward
Beal expressed a clear sense of acceptance and moving on from the past:
“You reflect for sure. Everybody did their ‘what if’s’ but you can’t live in the past, you can’t live in those moments. Obviously, we could have had something special, but it didn’t happen. Didn’t work, and we all moved on.”
He also acknowledged the lasting curiosity around that chapter in Suns history:
“It’s probably gonna be a big ‘what if?’ story forever but at the end of the day, everybody has a story, everything happens for a reason and I’m excited with where I am and I’m sure Book’s excited for his team and I’m sure K is excited for his situation.”
Summary
Bradley Beal reflected on a disappointing chapter with the Suns but remains focused on his future, embracing closure and optimism.
