Bradley Beal’s situation with the Washington Wizards is, at this point, unsalvageable. The shooting guard has been putting up a show over the last two seasons but the wins don’t come, which has frustrated the player.
Nobody can say he hasn’t done enough to help his team, as Beal tries to play great every night and he’s doing that recently. The Wizards just can’t win regardless of what he does and recently we learned about a curious stat that shows how bad this team is even though Beal is trying to lift them above their rivals.
According to Elias Sports Bureau, Bradley is the first player in NBA history to lose 10 straight games while scoring at least 40 points over that span. He has surpassed Walt Bellamy (9), who also played in Washington, and Wilt Chamberlain (8 twice) during his time with the Warriors.

During that time (January 28, 2020 to date), no other @NBA player scored as many as 47 points in a game that his team lost.

This situation has gotten worse in recent days and fans have started to ask the Wizards to “free” Beal, while others have started to predict where he will play next. There are at least five teams that could be good for Beal if he decides to request a trade, something that looks more likely as the days go by.
He has done a lot for his team, he was the reason why they were invited to the bubble last year but this season, things aren’t clicking for the guard.
