Bradley Beal still remains a very productive NBA player.

That said, the Phoenix Suns guard is no longer the All-Star caliber player he once was.

Right now, Beal has solid averages of 18.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 49.3% from the field and 39.2% from the three-point range.

Recently, the former Florida star was demoted to the bench.

In a three-game sample size, he has done well.

Via StatMuse: "Brad Beal tonight:

25 PTS
7 REB
3 STL
11-16 FG

Averaging 20 PPG off the bench."

The biggest problem for Beal and the Suns is the size of his contract.

This season, the 31-year-old is being paid $50.2 million.

He is then owed over $110 million through the end of the 2026-27 season.

Via Duane Rankin of azcentral on Tuesday: ""If so, I need to be addressed because I hold the cards. Until I'm addressed and somebody says something different, then I'll be a Sun."

Right now, the Suns are the 12th seed in the Western Conference with a 17-19 record in 36 games.

They will play their next game on Saturday when they host the Utah Jazz in Arizona.

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. #Suns pic.twitter.com/K6fidSKq3a
