Beal (shoulder) has a chance of playing Saturday against the Pistons.

Analysis:

Beal sat out the past three games and barely did anything at Thursday's practice, but apparently there's a slight glimmer of hope that the soreness in his left shoulder will subside ahead of Saturday. Although, it would be unlikely for him to see a full workload upon his eventual return to the court, meaning Gary Neal will retain his short-term value for at least another game.
