Close to double-double in loss Beal chipped in 25 points (10-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and eight assists over 40 minutes during Friday's 109-105 loss to Toronto.

Impact Aside from a 13-point game against the Sixers on Jan. 17, Beal continues to shine as a scoring weapon for the Wizards and has been remarkably consistent -- he has scored at least 20 points in all but two games since Dec. 6. He's averaged 26.1 points per game while shooting 48.9 percent from the field in that stretch. His role as Washington's go-to player on offense is not under any sort of question, but the efficiency levels are certainly impressive.

Not enough in loss Beal finished Wednesday's 119-118 loss to the Nets with 23 points (7-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals over 37 minutes.

Impact Beal led Washington in scoring as well as assists -- including a dime to Kyle Kuzma, which made it a one-point game with less than a minute to play. Even amid a moderately efficient night, Beal logged a team-worst minus-11 in the box score. He's in a mini-slump, shooting just 36.5 percent from the field over his previous three games. He'll look to breakout against Toronto on Friday.

Returns with 13 points, six dimes Beal contributed 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one block in 33 minutes during Monday's 117-98 win over the 76ers.

Impact Making his return after a three-game COVID-19 absence, Beal was back in the starting lineup at shooting guard, sending rookie Corey Kispert to the bench. Beal was relatively quiet in his 33 minutes -- he failed to reach 20 points for the first time since Dec. 13 -- though it's very possible he was battling some conditioning issues, as he was a game-time call leading up to tip-off. With an off day Tuesday, expect Beal to be in action again Wednesday against the Nets.

Clears protocols, will be GTD Beal (COVID-19 protocols) is considered a game-time decision for Monday's matchup against the 76ers, Wizards insider Quinton Mayo reports.

Impact The good news is Beal has officially cleared protocols, so it's likely a matter of whether or not his conditioning is strong enough for him to play after he missed the Wizards' last three contests. Prior to entering protocols, Beal strung together a six-game stretch in which he averaged 27.3 points, 8.8 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 2.2 threes (36.1% 3Pt) across 36.7 minutes per contest.

JANUARY 17, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Gets questionable tag for Monday The Wizards list Beal (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) as questionable for Monday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Though Beal hasn't yet cleared the protocols, the Wizards' decision to bump him up from "out" to "questionable" on the official injury report suggests he'll have a chance to do so prior to the game's 2 p.m. tipoff. Beal has missed the Wizards' last three games while in the protocols, so even if he's cleared to play, there's a chance head coach Wes Unseld Jr. could look to restrict his minutes to some extent while he works to regain conditioning.
