Bradley Beal went off on Kent Bazemore on Monday night in response to a comment Bazemore made that Beal thought was over the line.
Beal and Bazemore’s teammate Stephen Curry are locked in a close battle for the NBA scoring title. (After Monday’s action, Curry is leading with 31.9 points per game, while Beal is averaging 31.4.) Curry erupted for 49 points in 29 minutes on Saturday while Beal had 50 on the same night. Beal injured his hamstring in the performance and missed Monday’s game against the Hawks. He’ll also sit out Wednesday night’s game and his status for the final two games of the season is unclear.
