Beal among league leaders in career-best start

Tuesday night against Orlando, with the Wizards missing five players due to injury, Bradley Beal played 42 minutes, took a season-high 30 shots and scored 42 points. Some of those minutes came at power forward, a position Beal says he has not played since his college days at the University of Florida. While the Wizards came up short down the stretch, Beal gave the team what they needed to stay in the game and put on an example-setting performance for the young players on the roster.

This season has presented circumstances Beal has not seen since his first year in the league.
