Bradley Beal was set to represent the Wizards in this summer’s Olympic games. Now, that possibility is fleeting.
After Beal went into health and safety protocols, it’s been reported by Adrian Wojnarowski that USA Basketball is “working to replace” Beal on its roster. Team USA has travel to Japan quickly approaching.
Beal is one of the team’s best players. He averaged 31.3 points per game in D.C. this season and was ever-so-close to showcasing his talents on the international stage. It remains to be seen who USA Basketball will choose to take his spot.
Jerami Grant has also entered health and safety protocols. He has not tested positive for coronavirus, per Shams Charania. Both players are currently in Las Vegas.
