Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal didn’t campaign to be an All-Star. The 24-year-old is in the middle of his sixth season and had never been selected to the event. But in each of those seasons, Beal took a step forward — becoming a franchise cornerstone in the process.
On Tuesday, Beal was named to All-Star Game for the first time, voted in by Eastern Conference head coaches, marking another step for the Wizards star.
This year’s All-Star Game takes place Feb. 18 in Los Angeles at Staples Center. Beal will also participate in the league’s 3-point contest on Feb.
