This decision was made based on their four-game losing streak.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bradley Beal and Jusuf Nurkic will be removed from the starting lineup starting Monday at Philadelphia.

In fact, players are not sure about where they stand, and the coaches are keeping them in the dark.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Players are unsure of their role. The coaching staff are still trying to figure things out. This situation will be something to monitor going forward.<\/p>\n<p>Could the lack of a defined role for Beal be a sign that he is going to be traded soon? Interestingly, Beal&#8217;s name has come up a lot as the Suns look to land Jimmy Butler.<\/p>\n<p>However, trading Beal away is a little complicated. The former All-Star has a no-trade clause he&#8217;d have to waive. And in any deal with the Heat, they will need a third team, as Miami does not want him.<\/p>\n<p>This is a situation, as Haynes said, that needs to be monitored going forward. But the Suns could be ready to make a big move.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time up for Bradley
