Beal is expected to play in Friday's game against the Pacers, but is likely going to sit out Saturday's matchup with the Celtics, Jorge Castillo of the Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Beal has played in just one game since returning from a stress reaction in his lower right fibula. The Wizards are going to continue to play it safe with their young guard and hold him out at least one game of back-to-back sets. He's expected to take the court Friday against the Pacers, which means he's likely going to sit out Saturday's tilt with the Celtics. Beal is also expected to be held under a minutes restriction for the next two weeks, so after playing 23 minutes on Wednesday, look for similar workload on Friday.
