Bradley Beal reflects on failed time with Suns, what's next

Bradley Beal Reflects on His Time with the Suns

Bradley Beal admitted he was uncertain about how to tell the story but recognized there was one to share after his return to Phoenix on November 6, 2025. As a central figure in the Suns’ difficult decline over the past two seasons, Beal spoke publicly for the first time since his mid-July buyout agreement and subsequent move to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Four months later, Beal took time to reflect on what went wrong, though he often avoided giving specific details about behind-the-scenes events during the team’s struggles or decisions concerning his future. His tone indicated he had already moved on and acknowledged the failure of himself, Devin Booker, and Kevin Durant to meet expectations.

“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.
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."
