Bradley Beal could be the next big name to switch teams in the NBA. Fred Katz of The Athletic reported Monday the guard and Phoenix Suns are working toward a buyout with both sides "increasingly optimistic" it will happen and make him an unrestricted free agent.

Bradley Beal and the Suns are discussing a contract buyout, league sources told ClutchPoints. The Clippers and Lakers are among his suitors.

Adou Thiero, the No. 36 pick in last month’s NBA draft, won’t play in Summer League games as he rehabs a knee injury but is expected to be ready for training camp.

Deandre Ayton will wear No. 5 for the Lakers as he suits up in purple and gold this season. Ayton signed a two-year, $16.6 million contract with the Lakers last week after he finalized a buyout with the Portland Trail Blazers.

Deandre Ayton is officially a Los Angeles Laker. And now, Lakers fans know what number he'll be wearing. Ayton has chosen No. 5 as his L.A. jersey number. It's a choice with a bit of a checkered history for the Lakers.
