Washington Wizards guards Bradley Beal and Alan Anderson attended President Obama’s speech about gun control at the White House on Tuesday.
The idea of having Wizards players attend the speech was first brought up on Saturday, and on Monday, Anderson and Beal were approached about attending.
Both quickly said yes. The Wizards expected to send additional players, but the speech overlapped with their practice. Anderson, who is recovering from surgery on his left ankle, and Beal, who has a stress reaction in his right leg, are injured, so they were available to attend.
