Author of a great season as individual as collective, the back of the Wizards played against the Cavs despite the death of a loved one. Indeed the All Star lost his grandmother to whom he was very close. He logically missed the meeting against the Magics last night.
Star player of the Washington franchise, Bradley Beal had not wanted to talk to his teammates in order not to disturb them.
“I had never lost someone close to me. I don’t know what to do, I don’t know what to feel, I don’t know who to talk to. I didn’t want to tell my teammates, but they ended up reading it on my face. It was clearly visible, I couldn’t hide it. Because when I played every night, she looked at me. And she’s still looking at me now, by the way. She was coming to see me at the gym, she was coming physically, and now that won’t happen again. It’s hard to take “
Despite a lack of success, the star of Washington had scored 15 points (4/19 shooting), 7 assists and 7 rebounds with notably the assist to Kyle Kuzma who offered the victory to his team against the Cavaliers (97 -94).
Living through complicated times, he however assumed his role of leader in order to allow his team to win this meeting against Cleveland. We must underline the mental strength of the player who, for sure, impressed his teammates. Today the player is with his family to mourn and come back stronger.
