Even though no moves were made, the Phoenix Suns were the talk of the NBA trade deadline, especially around disgruntled Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler. Butler went on to move to the Golden State Warriors, a deal that has worked out so far, but the Suns were held back in trade conversations by one player: Bradley Beal.

Boasting a no-trade clause, Beal can decline deals and can control where he wants to go. With the Suns looking like a fringe play-in team at the moment, who knows where Beal will be next season. Regardless, he's found himself on the injury report against the Chicago Bulls Wednesday night in a critical game for the Suns' playoff hopes.

Beal has been listed as out on the Suns injury report, as he's dealing with a left hamstring strain. Wednesday is set to be the 22nd missed game of the season for Beal, who was absent in the team's 129-89 win over the Toronto Raptors on Monday.

Beal is currently averaging 17.3 points per game this season with the Suns, his lowest mark since the 2014-15 season when he averaged 15.3 points per game. While Beal has been regarded as one of the top-scoring guards in the league since his time with the Washington Wizards, his contract makes him a negative asset.

With both the Bulls and Suns dealing with injuries, the two sides are set to tip-off at 10:00 p.m. EST in Phoenix on Wednesday night.
