Bradley Beal To Have Season-Ending Surgery

So much for the Bradley Beal trade rumors. The Washington Wizards star player will be undergoing surgery for a torn ligament in his left wrist, ending his season.

This is rock bottom for Beal and the Wizards, who have suffered through an abysmal season after getting off to such a promising start. A 3-time All-Star, Beal was having a bit of an off-season himself, his scoring down over 8 points a game, and his 3-point shooting dipping to just 30%.

He's been suffering from a 'torn scapholunate ligament', and the original hope was that non-surgical treatment could be an option, but the decision to go under the knife was finally made today.

The 28-year-old Beal goes into the offseason with a chance to really consider his future, as he has not committed to signing a 5-year extension with the Wizards, saying "sometimes you have to be selfish."

With the report Bradley Beal will undergo season-ending surgery, it’s worth revisiting his chat w./ @ChrisBHaynes from December’s #PostedUp on his looming contract decision this offseason. #nba #wizards #DCAboveAll pic.twitter.com/fBwC897UmQ
