Washington Wizards’ Bradley Beal is under police investigation after being involved in a confrontation with angry hecklers following an NBA match last game, as reported by TMZ.

Beal, a shooting guard for the Washington Wizards in the NBA was born on June 28th 1993 in St Louis, Missouri. The 29-year-old is reported to have been involved in a dispute with two fans following the Wizards 122-112 loss to the Orlando Magic in Florida.

As he walked down the tunnel at the Amway Center, the basketball player faced loud heckles, with one fan reportedly shouting, “You messed me out of $1,300, you jerk.” Beal is said to have responded by confronting the group, knocking a hat off one person’s head and saying, “To be honest, I don’t care about your bets or parlays, man. That’s not why I play the game.”

Beal has come under scrutiny after the fan in the alleged incident reported it to the police as “simple battery”. The Wizards have refused to comment following a request from TMZ, saying they are ‘aware of the situation ongoing’.

Bradley Beal is a professional basketball player who currently plays as a shooting guard for the Washington Wizards in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was born on June 28, 1993, in St. Louis, Missouri.

Beal played college basketball at the University of Florida for one season before declaring for the NBA draft in 2012. He was selected third overall by the Washington Wizards, where he has played his entire career so far.

The match took place in Florida, where FL sports betting is not currently legal – so calls for sports betting to be criminalized seem off the mark given Florida online gambling is not yet legal in the state in which the infringement took place.

Beal is known for his scoring ability, particularly as a three-point shooter. He is a three-time NBA All-Star (2018, 2019,2021) and has also been named to the All-NBA Third Team twice (2019, 2021). In the 2020-21 NBA season, he led the league in scoring with an average of 31.3 points per game.

He has had a great year for the Wizards this season despite his team’s 33-42 record and the run-in with the fans, averaging 23.2 points per game with 3.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists
