Beal's wife, Kamiah Adams-Beal, took to social media to give an account of what took place at the Footprint Center, as she explained that this fan in particular "crossed the line."
"I usually ignore nonsense, as I like to leave the circus to the clowns, but let's clear this up. Being a fan is fine- 'boo, you suck' comes with sports. But disrespect is another thing," Adams-Beal posted on X.

"During the game, a 'Suns fan' spent the entire night heckling my husband. It got so bad I sent my kids away in the third quarter after multiple people asked if we were okay & asked if I wanted them to say something," Adams-Beal said.
She continued, "The breaking point came in the fourth when my kids were back and the 'fan' yelled, 'Trade this bum a** b**** Beal for Jimmy Butler!'"
"My six-year-old, with tears in his eyes, asked why someone would say that about his dad. So at that point, security had to intervene, or I was going to."
Following the game, the Suns star was asked about the incident that transpired, in which Beal responded that he wasn't sure what was said, but he did see his son crying.
"I almost left the huddle with 30 seconds left in the fourth," Beal told reporters. "Apparently some guy was heckling, kind of being an a**hole. My wife was pretty calm about it, but with my sons right there. She's not going for none of that."

In view of his wife's response, the 3x All-Star pointed out that he's not on social media, "I don't even know what she said. She prolly said some wild s*** for sure."
Beal concluded, "Family comes before any of this basketball s***."
All in all, even though the Suns got the win (111-109), Beal's performance on the court did have some fans growing restless, as he put up only nine points and contributed four turnovers.
To note, so far on the season, Beal is averaging 16.9 points per game, which is his lowest mark since the 2014-2015 season.
The 31-year-old is currently in the third year of a five-year/$251 million contract and has a no-trade clause, which he would have to waive if Phoenix were to move him ahead of the February 6 deadline.
