Wizards' Bradley Beal cleared to resume activity

The Wizards say the All-Star guard's return to play will be based upon his progression.

Bradley Beal is averaging 22.9 points and 5.2 assists for the season.

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal, who had missed the team’s last three games, has been cleared to resume basketball activities, the team announced Thursday. A week ago, he was ruled out after an MRI revealed a low-grade left hamstring strain.

Per the team, his ability to play in games will be based on his progression from his injury.

Beal injured the left hamstring in a Dec. 27 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

He missed the following three games and returned on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks, playing just 13 minutes before exiting due to more hamstring soreness. It was a strain of the opposite hamstring that caused him to miss a couple of weeks earlier in December.

Beal has averaged 22.9 points and 5.2 assists this season for the Wizards (18-24), who are currently No. 12 in the East.
