Is Bradley Beal playing tonight against the Milwaukee Bucks? Latest on Suns star's availability (April 1)

On Tuesday, Phoenix Suns star Bradley Beal could start for the first time in over seven games as he recovers from a hamstring injury. Previously listed as out on the injury list, the former Wizard's guard's status has been upgraded to probable. Beal last appeared in the 107-96 loss at the Crypto.com Arena on March 16.

With the Phoenix Suns hoping to reach the postseason through the play-in, Beal's availability will be a massive boost. Eleventh in the Western Conference, the Suns are a game behind the Sacramento Kings, who occupy the final play-in spot. Facing the Californian team in their final game of the season, Phoenix will need to win their remaining fixtures to keep up with them.

In Bradley Beal's absence, the Suns have had a mixed bag of results, with four wins and three losses. The defeats, though, have come in their last three game, so they could use the former Florida Gator star's experience to churn out positive results.

Beal has faced difficulties in remaining fit this season, as he has struggled with a reoccurring hamstring injury. Playing only 48 of 75 games, the veteran could make his return on Monday against the Milwaukee Bucks at the Fiserv Forum.

His comeback will be at a crucial stage as the Suns head East for a final time this season on a three-game awaystead. Against the Bucks, Celtics and the Knicks, Beal's availability will be a huge boost.

Beal's return is uncertain, as he's listed as probable. Although his fitness is questionable, his availability will be a game-time decision from the coach.
