Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal suffered a wrist injury during his team's loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday. The injury occurred while the Wizards star was attempting to take a charge against Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. Beal was visibly in pain but stayed in the game. On Monday, the Wizards announced an unfortunate Beal wrist injury update via the team's Twitter account.
Bradley Beal (sprained left wrist) will miss the next two games.

Bradley Beal, who has a sprained left wrist, will miss the Wizards' next two games. The team said that the star guard will undergo further evaluation while on the sidelines for scheduled games against the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers.
Beal's wrist injury update comes at a very bad time for a Wizards team that has lost five games in a row and will have to try to right the ship against two of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.
Beal has taken a bit of a step back as a scorer, though he has been better than ever as a facilitator for Washington, averaging a career-high 6.6 assists per contest.
This wrist injury update is not what Wizards fans wanted to hear on Bradley Beal, especially given the team's recent struggles. Hopefully, the star guard will be able to return to the court soon.
