Beal says he was drug tested after back-to-back 50-point games
It appears Bradley Beal drew too much attention to himself with his back-to-back 50-point performances.
Following the Washington Wizards' 110-106 win over the Nets, during which Brooklyn head coach Kenny Atkinson deployed the rarely used box-and-one defense to try to slow down Beal, the star shooting guard said the NBA drug tested him after his pair of incredible games.

Beal scored 108 points over the two contests and also became only the sixth player in the last 20 seasons to register back-to-back 50-point performances, according to Basketball-Reference.
The 26-year-old wasn't selected to participate in the All-Star Game in Chicago earlier this month despite ranking in the top five in points per game this season.
