Members of the Washington Wizards opted to links arms during the playing of the U.S. national anthem on Tuesday night.

Bradley Beal told reporters earlier in the week that the team would be staging some sort of protest during the playing of "The Star-Spangled Banner," eventually choosing to show unity by locking arms and elbows.
