I covered the Wizards through some rough times & know the franchise can’t divorce itself from drama. But this Bradley Beal situation is one of the dicier ones I’ve seen. Team has little hope. He was having a down year. Now it’s over & he either walks or gets $240M this summer 😬 – 5:59 PM

Given his season is over and Beal can opt out this summer, it’s possible he’s played his last game for the Wizards. His statement today, though, ends with this:
“I look forward to coming back at 100% & continuing to lead this team as we work together to build toward the future.” – 5:57 PM

With Bradley Beal done for the year, and the Wizards having lost 8 of 9, you have to think this alters their plans at the deadline and their expectations for the rest of the season. Either fight for a playoff spot w/o him, or perhaps more realistically hope for luck in lottery. – 5:05 PM

Assuming the Beal injury eliminates the Wizards from playoff contention, the final two spots in the play-in tournament may come down to Hornets, Wizards and Knicks.

Evaluations continue on Bradley Beal’s left wrist, league sources say. The Wizards are hopeful they can rule out surgery; sources say various treatment options on the sprained ligament are being considered. He misses his fifth game in a row tonight.

More on this storyline
Two sources told Action Network that Bradley Beal’s interest in being relocated has cooled even further. There was some thought that if the Wizards’ season went sideways he might ask out, but the Wizards have stabilized after a hot start and big downturn. There’s a belief that Beal is focused on maximizing his next contract which is easiest in Washington. -via Action Network / January 19, 2022
Bradley Beal is one of the most high-profile players projected to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. Will Beal sign another lucrative extension with the Washington Wizards or take his talents elsewhere to chase a championship? Appearing on Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes podcast, Posted Up with Haynes, Beal mentioned that every option is currently on the table for the next step of his career. -via basketballnews.com / December 8, 2021
