Bradley Beal (left hamstring strain) is listed as OUT for tomorrow’s game vs. the Knicks. Although the team announced today he was cleared to resume basketball activities, he’ll most likely need to ramp up for some time and the Wiz logically won’t want to rush his return. – 5:51 PM

(1/2) Here’s some context on the announcement that Bradley Beal has been cleared to resume full basketball activities following his low-grade left hamstring strain. When he was cleared to return from low-grade right hamstring strain last month, he played in a game six days later. – 1:11 PM

Fun game with both teams depleted. Wizards win w/o Beal, Porzingis, Gafford, 100-97. Bulls, w/o DeRozan, get 38 from Zach LaVine. Career-high 19 points from Wizards’ Anthony Gill. Deni Avdija with…20 rebounds! – 9:21 PM

More on this storyline
The belief in some rival front offices persists that the Lakers are saving those picks for a splashier trade target such as Washington’s Bradley Beal or Chicago’s Zach LaVine. -via marcstein.substack.com / January 9, 2023
Ava Wallace: Beal (hamstring) is out for Wizards v. Pelicans tomorrow, the second of at least three games he’s expected to miss. Johnny Davis (right hip strain) officially on the injury report — he stayed behind on the recent Milwaukee trip to receive treatment on this in DC, Unseld said. -via Twitter @avarwallace / January 8, 2023
Personnel around the league have speculated whether it’s a matter of when and not if Beal asks out, but Wizards President Tommy Sheppard has consistently shot down that idea. I mention it here because even teams with no reason to trade for Beal wonder where his future career intentions lie. -via Action Network / January 6, 2023
