WASHINGTON – Bad news for the Wizards: the season is over for Bradley Beal, who will undergo surgery on his left wrist.

The decision was made after consulting a specialist in New York on Tuesday.

“Despite 10 days of intense recovery, it is clear that I could not play at a level that meets my standards or what the team and the fans deserve,” Beal said in a statement to the Wizards. I’m disappointed with the result, but the consensus is that this is the right decision. »

A star player in 2018, 2019 and 2021, Beal was injured on January 29 in Memphis.

In 40 games this season, he has averaged 23.2 points and 6.6 assists.

Washington kicked off Tuesday at 11 in the East, a game from 10th place.
