Bradley Beal: (Wrist) Could Return Friday

Beal (wrist) is expected to return to practice this week and is hoping to make his season debut Friday against the Cavaliers, the Washington Post's Jorge Castillo reports.

Analysis:

Doctors evaluated Beal's fractured wrist Friday and concluded that he has avoided any setbacks. He had no limitations during a dribbling and shooting drill in Saturday's shootaround, and the hope is that Beal can practice Monday. Friday would mark exactly six weeks since surgery. This is excellent news for those who stashed Beal on draft day, and it seems Garrett Temple's days as a starter will come to an end soon.
