Beal still hasn't tested the leg yet. "I'm really just staying off it, walking around, no running, not jumping. I still have a few more weeks before I can do any of that."

Bradley Beal (leg, out for season) admitted that he shouldn't have tried to play through dual ankle injuries.

Beal battled lower-leg issues throughout his rookie season. He'll end up missing 26 games, but the good news is that no surgery is required. When active, he showed impressive shooting ability while averaging 13.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.6 3-pointers per game. Beal is going to have a ton of upside as a full-time starter and core piece for the Wizards in 2013-14.
Apr 5 - 5:01 PM

Bradley Beal will miss the remainder of the 2012-13 season with a stress injury in his right fibula.

Beal had missed a total of 11 games after spraining his left ankle twice in March and there are a couple media outlets speculating that the stress injury and Beal's ankle problems could be connected. Whatever the case, it's a scary sign that Beal is already dealing with multiple leg/ankle injuries in just his first NBA season. The Wizards say Beal will be able to resume basketball activities in six weeks, which means he'll be fully recovered in time to work with the Wizards' summer league team prior to training camp. Garrett Temple will likely finish out the season as a starter while Martell Webster and Trevor Ariza will pick up extra minutes, as well.

Apr 3 - 4:34 PM

Bradley Beal (ankle) was not optimistic he'd be available to play on Wednesday against the Raptors after aggravating his injury in Tuesday's win over the Bulls.

"Just depends on how I feel tomorrow, but I wouldn't guarantee anything," he said. Beal didn't look like himself on Tuesday and it would not be a surprise to see him sit out on Wednesday as a result. If that happens, Garrett Temple should continue starting with Martell Webster and or Trevor Ariza also picking up some minutes at shooting guard.
Apr 3 - 9:33 AM

Bradley Beal didn't look like himself on Tuesday with eight points, five boards, one assists, one steal and one 3-pointer in 28 minutes against the Bulls.

He couldn't finish the game and checked out just moments after Nazr Mohammed blocked his shot with about eight minutes left in the fourth quarter. Beal suffered an ugly ankle sprain in Phoenix last month, so the Wizards might play it safe and sit him in the second game of a back-to-back set on Wednesday. His owners will want to check back for updates.
Apr 2 - 10:21 PM

Bradley Beal will come off the bench again in Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

It's not a real detriment to Beal's projected output. He came off the bench on Sunday as well, but still played 30 minutes and scored 24 points. Garrett Temple is just a placeholder in the starting five.
Apr 2 - 6:25 PM

Bradley Beal (ankle) confirmed that he felt no pain "at all" after returning to action on Sunday.

Beal dropped 24 points with six 3-pointers and he should already be in all active fantasy lineups, so this report merely serves as reassurance.
Apr 1 - 2:40 PM

Bradley Beal (ankle) made a career-high six 3-pointers in a surprise return on Sunday, finishing with a game-high 24 points, two rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes.

There was no notice that Beal would play until after tip-off, so sadly this outburst didn't help many fantasy owners. He missed 11 of the past 14 games with the injury, which caused him to be dropped in many leagues, but it's obviously time to scoop him up. Even if he doesn't overtake Garrett Temple at SG for some reason, he's a safe bet for double-digit scoring with a handful of 3-pointers, boards and assists.
Mar 31 - 9:16 PM

Bradley Beal checked in with four minutes left in the first quarter of Sunday's game.

There was no word of him return prior to checking in, but he looks to be good to go. If he's out there on your wire, go get him. Garrett Temple and Trevor Ariza take a hit.
Mar 31 - 6:40 PM

Bradley Beal (ankle) and Nene (knee) are both game-time decisions against the Raptors on Sunday.

The Wizards are using game-time decisions on their players like they're going out of style, but Beal and Nene are likely a little closer to doubtful than probable. Garrett Temple and Trevor Ariza have filled in nicely for Beal.
Mar 31 - 5:04 PM

Randy Wittman estimated that Bradley Beal is "probably a week away from testing" his sprained ankle and will not play on Friday against the Magic.

Beal originally injured the ankle on March 3 and aggravated it last week, and he's been limited to just five games in March as a result. Beal won't play on Friday, and it sounds like he's got a good chance to miss Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday's games as well. If the week timetable hold true, Beal would be looking at a potential return on Saturday, April 6 against the Pacers, meaning fantasy owners holding him at this point should cut bait. Without Beal, Garrett Temple will continue to start at shooting guard as the Wizards are decimated by injuries.
Mar 29 - 9:12 AM

Bradley Beal (ankle) will not play again on Wednesday against the Thunder.

It will be the fourth straight game for Beal that he's missed and he's currently without a timetable for his return. With A.J. Price (groin) also out, Garrett Temple will continue to see more minutes at shooting guard and could be in for a lot of minutes with Martell Webster (abdomen) a game-time decision.
Mar 27 - 11:53 AM

Bradley Beal (ankle) and A.J. Price (groin) are both out against the Warriors on Saturday.

This is no surprise and we're not sure why the Wizards are listing Beal as day-to-day since he had a bad ankle sprain on Wednesday. Trevor Ariza had a massive night with 25 points and seven triples and he's a near must-add player while Garrett Temple also gets an uptick. John Wall has also been terrific with extra minutes, too.

Bradley Beal (ankle) and A.J. Price (groin) will both miss Friday's game against the Lakers, as expected.

Look for Martell Webster and Trevor Ariza to operate with serviceable lines as the baseline expectation with plenty of upside from there. Garrett Temple can sink you on any given night, but in a deeper league he could be worth a look as a desperate spot-start.

Bradley Beal (left ankle) is doubtful to face the Lakers on Friday.

The Wizards listed Beal day-to-day the last time he turned his ankle and he missed six games. It looks like they'll be handling it in a similar fashion this time around and we're not expecting to see Beal for a handful of games. Trevor Ariza makes the strongest case as a pickup with Garrett Temple also deserving some looks in deeper leagues. If you are in the fantasy playoffs and keeping Beal on your roster is going to significantly hurt you, cutting him is definitely an option
