Bradley Beal Injury: Questionable for Monday
Beal Suffered a Right Hamstring Strain in Friday's Loss to the Knicks
Washington Wizards star guard Bradley Beal is questionable for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors due to a right hamstring strain suffered in Friday's loss to the New York Knicks.
Beal exited the game in the third quarter after pulling up lame following a drive to the basket. He underwent an MRI on Saturday which confirmed the strain.
Wizards Will Be Cautious With Beal's Injury
The Wizards will be cautious with Beal's injury, as they don't want to risk further damage. Beal is averaging 23.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game this season.
If Beal is unable to play on Monday, the Wizards will likely start Raul Neto or Delon Wright at point guard.
Beal's Injury is a Blow to the Wizards' Playoff Hopes
Beal's injury is a blow to the Wizards' playoff hopes. The Wizards are currently 10th in the Eastern Conference standings, and they need to make up ground in order to secure a playoff spot.
Without Beal, the Wizards will have a difficult time scoring points. They will also need to find a way to replace his leadership and playmaking ability.
