While the Wizards aren’t yet calling it an injury, they confirmed to both Michael Lee of the Washington Post and J. Michael of CSN that the sophomore has had soreness in his right leg and had it examined on Monday afternoon. According to J. Michael, Beal had an MRI and the team will provide more information on Tuesday:
Just when things starting looking up for the Wizards on Monday with the return of Otto Porter to practice, they're holding their breath after Bradley Beal went for tests later in the day on his right leg.
...
He had an MRI and the results will be known Tuesday, before the Wizards play the Los Angeles Lakers at Verizon Center (CSN, 7 p.m. ET).
Beal missed the final eight games of his rookie season because of a stress injury to his fibula. He also had to sit out of summer league and was unable to fully participate at Team USA's mini-camp. At 40.3 minutes per game, Beal is currently tied with the New York Knicks' Carmelo Anthony as the league's top minutes-getter.
Beal is averaging 20.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game this season. He has struggled with his shot over the last two games, however, going 14-40 from the field and 3-16 from the three-point line.
