Overview
- Beal was scratched for Monday’s game against the Hawks and is expected to miss multiple games, according to Tyronn Lue.
- The guard is scheduled for imaging to determine the severity of the left hip issue that surfaced on the injury report.
- The hip problem is believed to have started when Beal took a charge in Thursday’s loss at Phoenix; he then logged 12 points in 20 minutes on Saturday.
- Lue replaced Beal in the lineup with forward John Collins over Bogdan Bogdanovic, citing rebounding needs and a desire to play bigger alongside Ivica Zubac.
- Los Angeles also remains without James Harden (personal leave) and Kawhi Leonard (right ankle sprain), while Atlanta entered the matchup without Trae Young (right knee MCL sprain).
