This season, he has been plagued by injuries, especially recurring issues with soft tissue. He began the season on the sidelines due to a lower back problem, which kept him out for seven games.
There was much anticipation for his return to the court, which finally came against the Chicago Bulls. The team placed him on a minutes restriction, cautiously reintegrating him into gameplay.
The 30-year-old played the next three games before experiencing a recurrence of back issues, leading to a 12-game absence. After returning to the lineup, Beal faced another hurdle, injuring his ankle after coming into contact with Donte DiVincenzo's foot against the New York Knicks.
