Bradley Beal, Wizards Appealing to League to Call Off Game vs. Bucks

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal revealed Wednesday that he and his team are 'fighting' the league to have Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks postponed, according to Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press.

Beal and point guard Russell Westbrook will ask Michele Roberts, executive director of the National Basketball Players Association, for assistance, as the team's feeling is that there are not enough healthy players available to safely play the game.

The Wizards have been out of action since Jan. 11 while dealing an outbreak within the organization. Last week, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that five Washington players had tested positive for COVID-19.
