Bradley Beal out vs. Bucks with injured shoulder

Jason Getz-USA TODAY Sports

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal will miss Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, J. Michael of CSN Mid-Atlantic reports.

A shoulder injury kept Beal out of the Wizards' last two games against the Oklahoma City Thunder and Orlando Magic.

Injuries aside, Beal has been tremendous in his fourth season with the Wizards. He's averaging 22.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.7 assists while shooting 48.6 percent from the field and a sterling 47.1 percent from deep.

Beal is thriving in the Wizards' new up-tempo attack and he's starting to live up to his "unstoppable" proclamation. Injuries, however, continue to plague Beal as he's missed 22 percent of Washington's regular-season games over the past three seasons.

Seldom-used guard Garrett Temple started in place of Beal in the Wizards' win over the Magic. Temple scored 18 points on 5-of-10 shooting from the floor and will likely draw a second straight start Tuesday.
