Wizards' Bradley Beal Ruled out for NBA Restart Because of Shoulder Injury

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal won't participate in the NBA's restart.

The Wizards announced Tuesday that Beal is battling a right rotator cuff injury. General manager Tommy Sheppard commented on the development:

"Bradley did everything possible to be ready to play, but after closely monitoring his individual workouts we came to the conclusion that it was best for him to sit out the upcoming games in Orlando and avoid the risk of further injury. Although he was able to play through the majority of the season with the injury, the layoff from March until now did not leave any of us feeling comfortable that he would have enough time to be ready to perform at the extremely high level we are all accustomed to seeing and agreed that not participating in the games in Orlando was the right decision.
