I know that this particular injury wasn’t his fault. I mean it’s not like he hit Marcus Smart’s forearm with his face if you catch my drift. But with all these injuries that Beal keeps having, he must be crazy if he thinks he’s going to get a max deal.
Why should the Wizards pay max for a guy who’s body is literally allergic to playing a full season? He’s only started 17 games this season, does that scream “Max contract” to you? I thought not.
Anyways, onto the reason why he’s out once again. Well I say that, he’s only day-to-day with a broken nose and a concussion for good measure.
The team listed Beal as day-to-day.
Beal took a forearm to the face from Smart midway through the second quarter of Boston’s 116-91 victory Monday and left the game. He did not return.
In accordance with the NBA’s concussion policy, Beal will begin the mandatory return to participation exertion protocol and be cleared to play once he’s symptom free during each step of the process.
This is just another injury that’ll damage his chances of getting a max deal. There’s no way in hell the Washington Wizards should cave in and give this guy max, he simply doesn’t play enough.
