Wizards' Bradley Beal: Produces 17 points in win
Rotowire
Beal contributed 17 points (7-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and eight assists over 28 minutes during Saturday's 138-118 win over the Magic.
Beal scored 13 of his 17 points in the second half on 5-of-8 shooting from the field, including 2-of-2 from beyond the arc. While he was relatively quiet with just four points in the first half, Beal did dish out four first-quarter assists to help Washington jump out to an early 11-point lead. His eight assists in the contest tied Delon Wright for the team lead and also matched a season high for the shooting guard. Beal is still looking for his first 20-point game since returning from the hamstring injury but is shooting a solid 56 percent from the field over the last two games.

Wizards' Bradley Beal: Highly efficient in return
Rotowire
Beal (hamstring) amassed 18 points (7-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 116-105 victory over the Knicks.
Suiting up for the first time since Jan. 3 and only the second time since Dec. 27 due to the hamstring issue, Beal had his playing time managed carefully, but he was still able to come through with his efficient performance in his return. The Wizards may look to keep him below the 35-minute mark for another game or two, but Beal's encouraging outing in his return should give fantasy managers enough confidence to activate him ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Magic.

Wizards' Bradley Beal: Will start but with limitations
Rotowire
Wizards head coach Wes Unseld said Beal (hamstring) will start Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
Beal, who has missed five straight and eight of the Wizards' past nine games with a hamstring injury, was officially cleared earlier Wednesday, and Unseld has now confirmed the guard's status in the starting lineup. However, the coach added that there will be "limitations" during Beal's return to action, though he didn't specify a minutes restriction. The superstar guard has struggled to stay on the court this season (24 appearances through 44 contests), but when available, he's been a quality producer, posting 22.0 points and 5.2 minutes in 33.6 minutes per game.

Wizards' Bradley Beal: Officially cleared to play
Rotowire
Beal (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Knicks.
Beal has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday, as a report earlier in the day indicated would likely be the case. The star guard will presumably replace Corey Kispert in the starting lineup, but fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Beal is on a minutes restriction, as he has missed eight of the team's last nine games.

Rotowire
Beal (hamstring) is expected to return to the Wizards' starting lineup Wednesday against the Knicks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Beal has missed five straight and eight of the Wizards' past nine games due to a hamstring injury and is officially listed as questionable for Wednesday. However, the superstar guard will be back in the mix against New York.

Rotowire
Beal (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Beal has missed five consecutive contests and eight of Washington's past nine games due to a hamstring injury.

Wizards' Bradley Beal: Will miss fifth straight
Rotowire
Beal (hamstring) won't play in Monday's game against the Warriors.
Beal will be missing his fifth consecutive game Monday and now has just six appearances under his belt since Dec. 4. The Wizards are continuing to handle his status on a game-to-game basis, so the hope is that he can get back on the floor sometime this week. Washington is off Tuesday before facing the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday.

Wizards' Bradley Beal: Questionable Monday
Rotowire
Wizards head coach Wes Unseld Jr. said Beal (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's game against the Warriors, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
According to Ava Wallace of The Washington Post, Beal participated in Sunday's practice, but because he's still ramping back up to 100 percent after missing seven of the past eight games with a left hamstring strain, the Wizards are giving him a designation ahead of Monday's contest. Beal will presumably be reassessed during warmups Monday before the Wizards decide on his status ahead of the 3 p.m. ET opening tip.
Beal (hamstring) was cleared to resume full basketball activities Thursday, and his timetable for a return will be based on his progression.
A strained left hamstring has kept Beal out for six of the past seven games, leaving Corey Kispert to start at shooting guard. It seems highly unlikely that Beal will be available Friday against the Knicks, so fantasy managers should optimistically hope for a return Monday against the Warriors. Still, given that he already re-injured himself once while attempting to return from the injury, the organization may be more cautious this time. Beal has appeared in just 24 games this season, averaging 22.9 points, 5.2 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 33.6 minutes.

Wizards' Bradley Beal: Out at least three games
Rotowire
The Wizards announced Thursday that Beal has been diagnosed with a low-grade left hamstring injury and will miss the team's next three games before being re-evaluated in approximately one week.
Beal reinjured his hamstring in Tuesday's 123-113 loss to the Bucks, after he had missed the previous three games. Corey Kispert opened the second half of Tuesday's game with the top unit and could step in as a starter on the wing for the duration of Beal's absence. In addition to Kispert, Deni Avdija and Will Barton may also be beneficiaries from a playing-time perspective.

Wizards' Bradley Beal: Misses practice Thursday
Rotowire
Beal (hamstring) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.
Beal aggravated his hamstring in Tuesday's game after missing the previous three. He did mobility work while the rest of the team practiced. While Beal hasn't officially been ruled out for Friday's matchup with the Thunder, it seems unlikely he will play.
Beal (hamstring) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Bucks, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports. He'll finish the night with eight points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, two steals and one rebound in 13 minutes.
After missing each of the Wizards' previous three games due to a sore left hamstring, Beal was cleared to play Tuesday, but he lasted less than two quarters before succumbing to yet another setback. Though the Wizards haven't revealed the severity of the issue, the fact that Beal suffered a setback with the hamstring issue so soon after returning to action means that he'll most likely miss time. Corey Kispert joined the top unit to begin the second half and could start Friday's game in Oklahoma City in the likely event Beal can't go.

Wizards' Bradley Beal: Questionable to return Wednesday
Rotowire
Beal (hamstring) is questionable to return to Wednesday's game against Milwaukee.
Beal was ultimately cleared to play in Wednesday's contest despite nursing a sore left hamstring. After posting eight points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, two steals and one rebound in 13 minutes, Beal may find himself on the sidelines for the rest of the matchup. If that's indeed the case, the guard will presumably be deemed day-to-day until further information regarding his hamstring surfaces.

The Wizards waited on Beal until the very last minute, but in the end, the star shooting guard will miss a third straight contest with a sore left hamstring.
