Wizards' Beal carried to locker room

 

The Sports Network

Wizards star rookie Bradley Beal was carried to the locker room late in the fourth quarter of the team's win over Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday.

Beal, the third overall pick in last year's draft, went up to block a Thaddeus Young shot and landed on his teammate's foot when he came down, resulting in an awkward twist of his left ankle.

The 19-year-old stayed on the floor for several moments before a pair of teammates helped him to the locker room.

The team is calling it a sprain at this point in time. He will continue to be evaluated.

Beal scored 14 points before exiting, which was right at his team-high average coming into the game.

The Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month in December and January has already set the Wizards rookie record with 81 3-pointers made.

  • Dan Le Batard: Support is what keeps Dwyane Wade afloat

    Dwyane Wade watched Kevin Durant against Memphis, and it was like watching a flailing man drown, wave after wave crashing upon him until he had no breath to give. Durant averaged 29 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists per game in the series that ended his season. Those were not merely better than the averages Durant posted in this, the best regular season of his young life. Those were not merely better averages than the ones that just won LeBron James his fourth NBA MVP award. Those were better averages than the ones that represent Michael Jordan's entire career. But Durant's season is over now, and Wade watched it happen through what felt like a rearview mirror.
