For three games, Bradley Beal stayed in the infirmary for hamstring pain in his left thigh. Facing the Bucks, he thus signed his return. But at the end of the first period, the back of the Wizards felt that his injury had woken up.
So he went out, leaving his teammates to be dominated by Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 55 points.
“It’s hard and frustrating”commented the player after the meeting, for The Athletic. “The most important thing is to be on the pitch. And I’m not there, so there is frustration, that’s clear. I must nevertheless continue to encourage, to be present for my teammates. I have to make sure I’m 100% before I come back. »
Bradley Beal has not been spared from the glitches since the start of the season. He has already missed 15 matches for various problems: in the quadriceps to start, then he (again) had Covid-19, then the hamstrings of the right thigh creaked, before those of the left leg for a few matches.
And as for Paul George, affected in the same way, the All-Star is now in the dark. The accumulation of missed matches and the nature of his injury are hard to swallow.
“The hamstrings are hard because you never know when you are really cured. That’s the most frustrating. We feel good, we try to play again, to run, to do something explosive and that’s when we notice that we are not ready. So I don’t know when I’m going to come back, we can’t really give a timetable. I’m still optimistic so I think it will be quick, but I know I shouldn’t rush either because it’s better to miss two games than ten.” he concludes thus.
