The Washington Wizards’ decision to rest Bradley Beal looked suspiciously like a tanking move, but Scott Brooks insists there was good reason for it.
Beal sat out Friday’s game against the New York Knicks, and the Wizards ended up on the receiving end of a 109-91 beatdown. Brooks, the Wizards head coach, said that the night off for Beal was a necessary one though.
“It’s nothing specific,” Brooks said of Beal, per Fred Katz of The Athletic. “It’s just, he needs some rest.”
Brooks also mentioned the load that the All-Star has carried for the Wizards this season as well the team’s difficult current stretch of 16 games in 27 days.
