Bradley Beal · His arrival into the Washington Wizards’ arena may have been different, as was uniform color. But, as one dribble pull-up turned into two and the scoreboard began to light up, it became clear that the Bradley Beal experience would be the same as it had always been. Ever familiar in an environment in which he became the franchise’s all-time second-leading scorer with over 15,000 points, Beal’s return featured silky-smooth bucket-getting of every variation, a 26-point first half, and ultimately, the most productive game of his Phoenix Suns tenure to date. On a near-perfect 16 of 21 shooting, the three-time All-Star turned back the clock with 43 points on the way to his first 40-point game since 2020-21. Sure to share the love during an emotional return, Beal also tallied up six assists, alongside a pair of steals and four 3-pointers, needing just 31 minutes to provide his team with a wire-to-wire victory on February 4, 2024. · State of Mint
