Bradley Beal should have known better.

Bradley Beal is one of the best players in the league. However, he is currently stuck on the Washington Wizards which is basketball purgatory. Although, Beal has maintained an attitude similar to that of Damian Lillard. He has a ton of confidence in his team, and he believes they have what it takes to someday win an NBA title. Overall, the Wizards probably won't win anything anytime soon. In fact, they would be better off blowing it all up like the Utah Jazz or Oklahoma City Thunder. Regardless, Beal remains loyal.

This season, it is looking like the Wizards could end up missing the playoffs again. For now, they are in 10th place in the Eastern Conference, which means they could be primed to make the play-in round. This isn't a sure-fire way to get into the postseason, although it could be their way in. Either way, this is not what Beal was hoping for when he signed that Super Max deal with the team. In fact, things are going from bad to worse for Beal at this point.

Bradley Beal Hit With Fine

In the video clip above, you can see Beal shoving a ref after a collision near the side of the court. This happened during a game on Saturday, and since that time, the league has been reviewing the infraction. Of course, you can't go out and put your hands on an official. Beal should know that by now, and for the most part, the league definitely agrees. Subsequently, the Washington Wizards star has been hit with a $25,000 fine, according to Clutch Points. It is a hefty fine for the average person, however, for someone like Beal, this is hardly anything.

At this point, the real story here is that he would push a referee with such gusto. While the officials can be bad in the way, you have to respect them at all times, no matter the situation. Either way, we're sure Beal has learned from this situation and will not be doing that again. Let us know what you think of all of this, in the comments section below.
