Ruled out for Friday
Beal (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Jazz, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
Beal's swelling started between Thursday and Friday morning, according to head coach Mike Budenholzer per Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic, and it seems the Suns have elected to be cautious with their star guard. Beal's next chance to play will come against the Trail Blazers on Sunday, though that'll depend on whether the swelling has reduced or not.

Added to injury report
Beal has been added to the injury report ahead of Friday's game versus the Jazz in Utah due to right knee swelling, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Analysis
Beal has played in six of the Suns' previous seven games, including four straight, but that streak is now up in the air. Final confirmation on his status will presumably depend on how his knee is feeling after it gets tested out in pregame warmups. Should he ultimately sit out, Royce O'Neale and Josh Okogie are candidates for increased minutes.

Efficient 18 points Sunday
Beal amassed 18 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 35 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 115-110 loss to the Magic.
Analysis
It was a strong effort out of Beal, who has now scored at least 15 points in eight of his last nine games. In five appearances with Kevin Durant (ankle) unavailable this season, Beal is now averaging 21.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers per contest. Beal should continue to have more ball-handling responsibilities on his plate while Durant remains sidelined, and the 31-year-old star guard has a favorable matchup Friday against a Jazz club that ranks 28th in the league in defensive efficiency rating (117.9).
