Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal will miss the NBA restart in Orlando due to a right rotator cuff injury, as the team announced Tuesday.
“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. “Although he was able to play through the majority of the season with the injury, the layoff from March until now did not leave any of us feeling comfortable that he would have enough time to be ready to perform at the extremely high level we are all accustomed to seeing and agreed that not participating in the games in Orlando was the right decision.”
Prior to the season suspension, Beal was averaging 30.5 points and 6.1 assists per game.
