Bradley Beal is the only person keeping the Washington Wizards relevant at this point. Overall, he has been a phenomenal player for them. However, one must wonder what it will take for him to go somewhere else. In many ways, his situation feels a lot like Damian Lillard's. Unfortunately, things have gone from bad to worse for Beal as he is now being hit with a police investigation in Orlando, Florida. According to TMZ, this is all because of a recent interaction he had with a fan.
As the report goes, Beal and the Wizards were playing against the Orlando Magic on March 22nd. The Wizards lost the game by about 10 points, and after the loss, Beal was walking back to the locker room. Although, a fan from the stands shouted at Beal, saying "You f***ed me [out of] $1,300, you f***!" Of course, the fan was talking about some sort of parlay he had made. Beal allegedly walked over to the man, knocked the hat off his head, and said "I don't give a f*** about none of your bets or your parlays, bro. That ain't why I play the game."
Bradley Beal Just Wanted To Defend Himself
Subsequently, both sides continued to go back and forth for just under a minute. From there, Beal was asked to go back to his locker room. A day later, the men who started the altercation decided to launch a complaint against Bradley Beal. Consequently, he is under investigation, with battery being the main point of contention. Overall, it is a pretty ridiculous situation that is fairly soft on the part of the fans.
At the time of writing this, neither the Wizards nor Beal has made any comments. That said, this entire investigation remains a developing story.
