Bradley Beal will miss Monday’s game at Charlotte after being placed in the NBA’s health and safety protocols, the Wizards announced (via Twitter).
Coach Wes Unseld Jr. said Beal tested positive for COVID-19 and is exhibiting some minor symptoms, tweets Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington.
Beal will return “upon receiving clearance under the current NBA guidelines,” the team added. Washington will wrap up the preseason Friday against the Knicks, so Beal may not play again until the regular season opener October 19.
The NBA revised its COVID-related protocols over the summer and now requires testing for vaccinated players only when they show symptoms of the virus. Unvaccinated players still must be tested once per week. Players are subject to isolation measures after a positive test.
Beal, who signed a five-year extension in July, has only appeared in one preseason game, scoring nine points in 18 minutes.
Here we go again
We still on this????
It doesn’t go away just because you forgot about it
Beal was one of the major anti-vaccine voices, spreading a lot of misinformation in the early days. He finally got his first shot when D.C. was putting in an indoor ban, like NY and SF. This is at least the third time he’s tested positive.
Ah misinformation, usually translates into the truths
Notice how they switched from “disinformation” to “misinformation”. The first means info that is purposefully incorrect in order to deceive and the latter is just anything I disagree with, whether factually correct or not.
They count on you not knowing the difference.
Trade Beal now ……
Tank For Victor …. ….. thats how you rebuild quickly. This is the year to go for that top 3 pick. Tank tank tank for Victor.
Who’d want his contract though?
At 29 you will get his best yrs. Top scorer in NBA. There are a few teams that can do it. 5 yr contract starts next yr. Knicks would do it.
What if Beal doesn’t want to go to the Knicks? He does have a no trade clause and it’s not like it puts him in a better situation. If you add Beal to the Knicks they’re still not a contender.
They are tanking and they are not trading Beal, worry about your Knicks.
