Bradley Beal is still rehabbing from the wrist injury he suffered during the season and while he hasn’t yet returned to the court, everything is going smoothly for the shooting guard.
“Surgery was good; recovery went well. Had no issues,” Beal told Ava Wallace of The Washington Post.
Beal added that he’s remained in touch with team president Tommy Sheppard throughout his rehab process. Beal is a free agent this summer, though he previously indicated that he’s leaning toward re-signing with Washington.
“This injury also gave me a mental break, a time to evaluate life, and I haven’t changed my mindset,” Beal said. “I enjoy being in D.C.; I enjoy being on this team.”
Beal’s Project Off The Court
The 28-year-old is ingrained in the Wizards’ organization much like he’s ingrained in the community off the court in D.C. This summer, Beal’s working with the D.C.-based nonprofit Hoop For All Foundation to refurbish basketball courts in Columbia Heights as well as provide medical resources for the local community.
“It was a no-brainer. I loved what Hoop For All did as an organization, spreading awareness of medical issues that especially hit the Black community,” Beal previously told Wallace. “I liked that they were young, they didn’t necessarily have a big following, and when I saw the courts for the first time — it was exactly what the community needed. You’ve got nice tennis courts over there, a nice middle school, a playground, a pool. The only thing that was missing were nice basketball courts.”
Beal will be among those attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the site on June 18.
