Unseld Jr. says Bradley Beal hurt his left hamstring tonight. He had previously missed time due to a right hamstring issue. Not sure of severity. – 9:57 PM

Wes Unseld Jr. did not have a full update on Bradley Beal but did say it was his left hamstring that caused him to leave the game, not the right that he strained (and missed 6 games for) earlier this month. – 9:57 PM

Sixers had some bad fortune from 3 … but also didn’t defend for a half and got zilch from supporting cast. Rough outing for Melton in particular. Nice win for Wizards, gotta hope Beal is okay now. – 9:42 PM

Bradley Beal went back into the locker room after grabbing his hamstring. He tossed his headband in frustration before going back into the tunnel. – 9:21 PM

Looks like Beal tweaked a hamstring. Going to locker room. Could be a big swing in this game. – 9:20 PM

A good first half for Washington, which leads Philadelphia 67-56 despite having 12 first-half turnovers and seeing Joel Embiid score a game-high 26 points. Bradley Beal has a team-high 17 points for Washington. – 8:14 PM

It’s not often you see a team turn the ball over 9 times in the 1st quarter, yet have a lead, but the Wizards just did that against the Sixers. It’s 32-30 after one.
Beal has 11 pts, Embiid has 16 to lead their teams. – 7:42 PM

This start by Beal fits my crack theory that he prefers to go against more physical perimeter defenders like Melton rather than super long ones. – 7:28 PM

Bradley Beal is feeling it early tonight with 11 pts in 9 min on 5-7 FG. Sixers haven’t found a way to stay in front of him. – 7:27 PM

More on this storyline
Friday marked one of the few times all season when the Wizards beat a fully-healthy team with a winning record, and the Wizards controlled the action almost from start to finish. Asked if the victory over the Kings could be a sign of things to come, Bradley Beal answered, “I hope so. Only time will tell, right? I can’t predict the future. “We still have got to dig ourselves out of a hole, and we’ve got a lot of ground to make up,” he added. “It’s definitely great to be able to get guys back, but we’ve still got to clean up some stuff and be better.” -via The Athletic / December 26, 2022
Jovan Buha: So why would the Wizards want to trade him? Josh Robbins: They don’t. Knowing how rare All-Star-caliber players are — heck, there are only a total of 24 of them each season — they want to keep Beal and upgrade the roster around him, going with a “middle-build” strategy. -via The Athletic / December 21, 2022
Ava Wallace: Bradley Beal (hamstring) is available tonight for vs. the Lakers. The Wizards are looking to snap a 9 game losing streak against the Lakers with Anthony Davis sidelined. -via Twitter @avarwallace / December 18, 2022
