Bradley Beal: (Leg) Hopes to Return Friday

Beal (leg) hopes to return to action Friday against the Sixers, the Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Beal has a stress reaction in his right leg, an injury he's had twice before during his career. The Wizards have said that this latest recurrence of the injury is "mild", but with the team struggling lately, winning just two of their last 12 games, this feels like Beal may be trying to rush back more quickly as a result. From a fantasy perspective, Beal should be treated like a perpetually-injured player based on his history with this injury. If the Wizards let him play, the prudent thing to do in fantasy would be to try and trade Beal for a player with a better chance at finishing this season healthy.
