Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal is expected to decline his $36.4 million player option for the 2022-23 season and enter unrestricted free agency this summer, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.
Beal appeared confused by the report, posting on Twitter:
There were rumblings for several years about Beal's future with the Wizards, but those were quieted for a bit in October 2019 when he signed a two-year, $72 million extension with the organization.
That deal ensured he would play the entire 2019-20 season in Washington, since NBA rules prohibit his contract from being traded for six months.
