Bradley Beal is lucky to avoid a broken nose after it is inadvertently BASHED in by Myles Turner’s elbow during Suns-Pacers game
Bradley Beal took a brutal shot to the nose on Friday night, but the Suns star appears to be fine as he was expected to return to the game later.
Beal was defending the Pacers’ Myles Turner and was trying to take over the offense when the big man accidentally hit his opponent’s face with a hard elbow as he drove to the hoop in the third quarter.
The three-time All-Star was knocked over and quickly received medical attention.
He walked to the locker room with a towel over his face.

He later returned to the game in the fourth quarter with his nostrils plugged
Beal re-entered the game with his nose plugged in later in the fourth quarter.
The 30-year-old has had an injury-plagued season in his first year with the Suns.
He missed 19 games earlier this season due to back problems, including the first seven of the year with lower back pain.
Beal later sprained his ankle in December after returning from his back problem and missed five more games.
