PHOENIX (AP) — Bradley Beal was drafted on his 19th birthday and spent his entire 20s with the Washington Wizards, where he scored a lot of points, enjoyed a little team success, but also suffered through plenty of painful losses. On Wednesday, he turned 30. Not a bad time for a new chapter in the three-time All-Star’s life and basketball career. Beal was introduced as a member of the Phoenix Suns on Thursday at the Footprint Center, about a week after he waived a no-trade clause that allowed him to be sent to the desert.
