Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal left Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors with a bruised sternum. The sharpshooter got X-Rays on his chest and the results came back negative.
Beal told reporters after the game that his breathing was all messed up due to the hits he took, via Fred Katz of The Athletic:
“It's alright,” Beal said. “I took a couple of elbows during the game. My breathing was all messed up. Felt like my chest, my ribs were out of place. But everything was good. X-Rays were negative.”
