Bradley Beal misses out on All-Star nomination: report

Before Thursday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets, Wizards coach Scott Brooks made one last passionate defense as to why, in his view, Bradley Beal deserved to be named an All-Star.

But in the end, Brooks’ fellow coaches did not agree with him.

Beal was left off the list of reserves when the league announced the All-Star Game’s full rosters Thursday evening, missing out on his third straight appearance. Despite being ranked sixth in scoring, Beal becomes the first player since Purvis Short the 1984-85 season to average at least 28 points per game and not make the All-Star Game.
