We got a good old-fashioned NBA beef brewing between Kent Bazemore and Bradley Beal after Bazemore took a shot at Beal after the Wizards star got injured while scoring 50 points.
For those who don’t know, Beal is currently averaging 31.4 points per game and is chasing Warriors Steph Curry, who leads the league, averaging 31.9. The scoring race heated up on Saturday when Beal scored 50 points and Curry responded a few hours later by casually dropping 49 points. Unfortunately for Beal he hurt his hamstring during his 50 point outing and is now forced to sit out for the next two games.
After the Warriors win on Saturday Bazemore took a not-so-subtle shot at Beal. “Forty-nine points in 29 minutes, that’s unreal,” “We got guys hurting hamstrings to keep up.”
“49 points in 29 minutes… That’s unreal. We got guys hurting hamstrings to keep up.”

Beal’s wife also chimed in and took shots at Bazemore.
I wouldn’t hold my breath for a response. But hey, maybe after a long night of 8 points, 1 assist, 1 rebound, 6 turnovers and 6 fouls he will have some time.
