Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal was elbowed hard in the face while trying to take a charge on Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner with the Suns leading 94-87 with 8:09 left in the third quarter.
Beal was seen dripping blood onto the court. What part of the face he was hit in is unclear, as he had a towel over his face and was helped into the locker room.
Beal had 12 points and three rebounds in 24 minutes before checking out. Devin Booker is leading the charge for the Suns after he had a franchise-record 29 points in the first quarter.
Beal has had his fair share of injuries this season, missing 24 of the Suns’ 45 games so far.
Phoenix is looking to get to its longest win streak of the season tonight (8) in Indiana.
