The Washington Wizards were already shorthanded. Now they’ll officially be without Bradley Beal in Orlando.
It was never going to be easy for the Washington Wizards to capitalize on their final eight games and make a surprise playoff push in Orlando. The schedule makers didn’t do them any favors. Then Davis Bertans opted out of the restart. Now Bradley Beal has decided to sit on the sidelines, as well.
“Bradley did everything possible to be ready to play, but after closely monitoring his individual workouts we came to the conclusion that it was best for him to sit out the upcoming games in Orlando and avoid the risk of further injury,” said Wizards General Manager Tommy Sheppard.
