Bradley Beal avoids Achilles’ tendon injury after fall
There is good news all around in Washington Wizards land.
On Sunday, the Wizards beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 119-110 to win their 8th straight game. They have won 11 straight games in which Bradley Beal has played. That shows how valuable to the team he is, which is why the Wizards were concerned with his status.
Beal appeared to hurt his left leg after making a layup with just over a minute remaining in Sunday’s game.
