Bradley Beal (elbow) listed as questionable Monday

Beal missed Saturday's game against the Warriors with left elbow soreness

Bradley Beal (elbow) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Pistons, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports. Beal missed Saturday's game against the Warriors with left elbow soreness and is expected to test the elbow before making a decision on his status for Monday's contest, Hughes adds.

The Wizards are 0-3 without Beal this season

The Wizards are 0-3 without Beal this season, so his return would be a significant boost for the team. If Beal is unable to play, Will Barton is expected to start in his place.

Barton is averaging 14.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game this season

Barton is averaging 14.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game this season, so he's capable of filling in for Beal offensively. However, Beal is also a key part of the Wizards' defense, so his absence would be felt on that end of the court as well.
