Outside of his elite shooting prowess and talent on the court, Bradley Beal is also known for his eye-sore of an injury history.
The Washington Wizards guard has played in 56, 73, 63, and 55 regular season games over his first four seasons, respectively. This isn’t a hopeful sign for the Wizards faithful, especially with Beal having inked a five-year $127 million contract this summer.
Just recently, another unfortunate news came out of training camp as Beal suffered a mild concussion. It’s not really serious, but it does give flashbacks of some of his major injuries from the past.
Beal spoke with Candace Buckner of the Washington Post and he expressed frustration over the public’s opinion about his durability, or lack thereof.
Bradley Beal: "People make it seem like I’m trying to get hurt, you know what I’m saying?"

Beal: "I want to question, do you think I want to get hurt? It’s not on purpose, it just happens. It just naturally happens."

Washington’s backcourt has the ideal mix of talent and youth. But if John Wall and Bradley Beal fail to maintain a healthy body or relationship, then they’ll go down as one of the biggest “what ifs” for the franchise in recent memory.
