Beal (ankle) was observed walking without a noticeable limp at practice Monday, Jorge Castillo of the Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Beal indicated after Sunday's game that his ankle sprain was very painful, but his presence at practice Monday bodes well. It would likely take a lot for him to miss Game 2 on Tuesday, but his status should be officially updated at some point prior to the game.
