LOS ANGELES — Phoenix Suns‘ guard Bradley Beal was ruled out of the second half of Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers at Crypto.com Arena with left hamstring soreness.

Two-way player Collin Gillespie started the second half for Beal.

Beal has been dealing with a left calf injury that sidelined him two games against New Orleans. He scored just four points on 2-of-6 shooting in 15 minutes of the first half of Sunday’s game.

The Suns trailed, 54-37, at the break.

Playing 48 games, Beal has had injuries to his right shoulder, right elbow, right knee, left ankle, left great toe, left calf and now left hamstring soreness.
