Earlier this week, Fred Katz of The Athletic reported Washington Wizards star guard Bradley Beal wasn’t thrilled with the process that ended with the team hiring former Denver Nuggets assistant Wes Unseld Jr. as their next head coach. Beal was keen on Philadelphia 76ers assistant Sam Cassell and allegedly was so upset Cassell didn’t get a second interview with Washington that he could request a trade.
The 28-year-old still has time to approach the front office before the 2021 NBA Draft tips off on Thursday, but Washington general manager Tommy Sheppard said Wednesday neither Beal nor his representatives have made such a demand.
