Bradley Beal is under police investigation for allegedly knocking a hat off a fan’s head after the fan yelled, “you made me lose $1,300 you f***.”
“Keep it a buck. I don’t give a f*** about none of your bets. That ain’t why I play the game.”

More on this storyline
The complaint against Beal was lodged on March 22, according to the Orlando Police Dept., roughly 24 hours after the basketball player was involved in a spat with two fans following his team’s 122-112 loss to the Magic in Florida. The dispute between Beal and the fans arose right after the 29-year-old hooper was walking down a tunnel to the Wizards’ locker room area at Amway Center. One of the guys in a group yelled at Beal, “You f***ed me [out of] $1,300, you f***!” -via TMZ.com / March 28, 2023
Things were tense between Beal and the group — with the men exchanging a flurry of words — before the Wizards star was ushered into the locker room without further incident. The jawing back and forth lasted about 50 seconds before Beal was ushered away. But, the alleged victim contacted police and they met the following day. The fan told police Beal hit him in the head when he swatted the cap. Cops took a report for battery and began investigating. -via TMZ.com / March 28, 2023
Ava Wallace: Wes Unseld Jr. said he “hopes” Bradley Beal (knee) and Kyle Kuzma (ankle) return this year, but plainly, the Wizards are running out of time & you could certainly argue bringing them back makes little sense. -via Twitter @avarwallace / March 26, 2023
