The Wizards had already announced that Beal wouldn’t play Tuesday night against the Milwaukee Bucks or on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. He will now miss at least four games, adding Saturday’s game against the Phoenix Suns and Monday’s against the Miami Heat.
Beal went down in the third quarter of their 115-95 loss to the Grizzlies after he tried to take a charge against Jaren Jackson Jr. and landed directly on his left wrist as he fell. Beal stayed in the game, but finished with just nine points while shooting 2-of-11 from the field.
Beal has averaged 23.2 points, 6.6 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game this season, his 10th with the Wizards. The 28-year-old is in the first year of a two-year, $70 million deal with the team.
The Wizards have lost five straight headed into Tuesday’s game in Milwaukee, and six of their last eight.
