Temple will head back to a bench role for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Coach Randy Wittman now seems committed to moving Bradley Beal back into the starting five after the guard was limited to bench duty upon his initial return from a leg injury in January, which should result in a diminished role for Temple in the second half. Temple did receive the starting nod in the Wizards' previous game Saturday against the Hornets, but that was likely only a byproduct of the team playing the second half of a back-to-back set and not wanting to overexert Beal.
