On February 9, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. Earlier today, Shams reported that Wizards star Bill will undergo surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left wrist, with season reimbursement expected.
Since losing to the Grizzlies on the road, Beal has missed four consecutive Wizards games. Keep in mind this season that Beal averaged 36 minutes per game, was able to get 23.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 0.9 steals, shooting 45.1% from the field and 30% from three-point range! Compared to last season, Beal's performance has dropped significantly, and the Wizards' record has also declined. The Wizards currently rank 11th in the East with just 24 wins and 29 losses.
Meanwhile, rumors about Bill's deal have been a lot lately. However, according to Brian Windhorst, the Wizards have not received any news from Bill that he does not plan to stay in the team. Under the rules, Beal has the right to step out of his contract at the end of the season to become an unrestricted free agent, and if he chooses so, the Wizards plan to sign him to a five-year, $241 million contract.
In addition, Fame Stein also said that the Wizards will not seriously discuss the deal for Beal unless Bill goes to management to apply for a deal. Wizards reporter Chase Hughes said Beal's agent, Bartelstein, has met with team management as they prepare for a critical time before the trade deadline. Beal has been thinking about a top-salary contract all season, but he has not said he is prepared to sign it.
