This also sucks, as he has been relatively clean until now:
Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal — a three-time NBA All-Star — is under police investigation … after he was involved in a confrontation with some hecklers following a game last week, TMZ Sports has learned. – via TMZ Staff @ TMZ.com Top Rumors, Law, Bradley Beal, Washington Wizards
The complaint against Beal was lodged on March 22, according to the Orlando Police Dept., roughly 24 hours after the basketball player was involved in a spat with two fans following his team’s 122-112 loss to the Magic in Florida. The dispute between Beal and the fans arose right after the 29-year-old hooper was walking down a tunnel to the Wizards’ locker room area at Amway Center. One of the guys in a group yelled at Beal, “You f***ed me [out of] $1,300, you f***!” – via TMZ Staff @ TMZ.com Law, Bradley Beal, Washington Wizards
Things were tense between Beal and the group — with the men exchanging a flurry of words — before the Wizards star was ushered into the locker room without further incident. The jawing back and forth lasted about 50 seconds before Beal was ushered away. But, the alleged victim contacted police and they met the following day. The fan told police Beal hit him in the head when he swatted the cap. Cops took a report for battery and began investigating. – via TMZ Staff @ TMZ.com Law, Bradley Beal, Washington Wizards

Just knew Samanic wouldn't make it the entire season as a Maine Celtic. Brad had an open spot too and could have given him a couple 10-day contracts to keep his rights but I suppose they want what's best for the player ... figures Ainge would be the plucker.
Samanic will earn $109,318 on his 10-day contract with the Jazz. Assuming he puts pen to paper on Tuesday or Wednesday, his deal will cover Utah’s next five games.
He must have some NBA agreed upon time to consider other options ... Brad should offer him the same deal with a guarantee to sign him to an NBA contract this summer so we don't lose him. 10 days will take him to 4/8th if he signs tomorrow, just 1 game short of our final game. Too bad he'll miss the playoffs in ME and they have a home game there as well which is a first. Brad could sign him, let him appear for ME and then bring him down when they have no PO games up there. Bummer for everyone ...

“I feel great,” Brown said. “I’m on a 50-win team right now that you can’t take for granted. Tonight was the 50th win. And right now I’m focused on helping to lead my team for another playoff run. In terms of speculation, et cetera, I can’t speculate on anything above what I’m doing right now. I think sometimes when people write articles they get taken out of context especially when writers have their own agendas or whatever. So for me personally, I’m thinking about clarifying some of the things that have been recently said. But other than that, I’m just focused on my team. I’m focused on playing basketball and winning games.” – via Jay King @ The Athletic Free Agency, Jaylen Brown, Boston Celtic
If not mistaken, that was a softball from the media asking Jaylen how it felt to get a standing ovation and a loud positive response from the fans when he was taken out of the game.
Telling that he ignored the obvious and couldn't bring himself to compliment the fandom for their appreciation with some of his own for them. Instead he waxes on about the task at hand and being taken out of context by the media ... Ugh!
