PHILADELPHIA — Bradley Beal made the most of the unfamiliar role of substitute for the Phoenix Suns. After the game, the 31-year-old Beal said he accepted coach Mike Budenholzer’s lineup change, but made it clear he considers himself a starter in the NBA. I’m not going to sit here and be a distraction.” Beal last came off the bench during the 2015-16 season while returning from an injury with the Washington Wizards. I have a lot of respect for them and an appreciation for them.” Beal and Nurkic gave the Suns’ bench a huge boost as the Phoenix reserves outscored Philadelphia’s bench 54-7. “What he was able to do tonight really put us in a great spot, made a bunch of plays for himself, bunch of plays for his teammates,” Budenholzer said of Beal.
