Bradley Beal Clarifies Reason for Finally Getting Vaccinated

It’s vaccination season.

Washington Wizards All-Star Bradley Beal returned to the court on Thursday night after landing in the NBA’s health and safety protocols.

Beal dropped 29 points and had 10 assists in Washington’s 110-93 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Beal briefly explained his decision to finally receive the COVID-19 vaccine after months of holding out after the win.

The lone reason behind getting vaccinated, he said, was because of “my family.”

“I’ll leave it at that,” he said.

Beal was one of the last players in the NBA who had not received his vaccine.

Beal insisted that the new mandate in DC had nothing to do with him getting vaccinated.

Whatever his reason, glad Beal took care of business.

Family should always come first.
