Could Former Wizard's Career Be Over?

When one may be relocated from their job and moved into a new situation, the excitement is felt in the air. It is very exciting to move into a new territory and getting to know new co-workers. Nerves are attached to the excitement, but overall the general feeling is a sense of anxiousness. Normally, you can’t wait to get to work with some of the best employees in the business. You typically don’t have any sick time at your disposal yet so if and when you may be a bit under the weather, you may just decide to put your mask on like you did when Covid first begun. Perhaps you may be in some pain. If one is in pain, they would simply take some medicine or get an injection to alleviate the pain. The bottom line is you typically would show up to work once you start your new position.

Bradley Beal was just traded to the Phoenix Suns. He went from a very unfortunate situation to one of the best situations he could possibly find himself in. It’s almost like he won the lottery as he is now playing with two of the league’s best players in Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. However, there’s one problem here. Bradley Beal is yet to play in the regular season with both Kevin Durant and Devin Booker together. The Phoenix Suns are now 5-6. Bradley Beal has only showed up to work and played just three games this season and he will miss even more days of work for the foreseeable future as he is dealing with a lingering and nagging back injury.

At age 30, Bradley Beal finds himself in a difficult situation hard to get away from. In fact, he seems to be on the wrong side of 30 already. The back is a tricky situation. Having back issues limit not only basketball and other physical activities, but it also limits one in life itself. Sometimes its hard just to get out of bed when you have a bad back.
