- All-Star allegedly struck fan during confrontation over bet
- Possible charge relates to Washington’s game in Orlando
Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal is facing a possible misdemeanor charge in central Florida after a fan accused the NBA All-Star of hitting him during an argument after a game against the Orlando Magic.
Probable cause exists to charge Beal with simple battery for the 21 March confrontation, an Orlando police case report said. Beal has not been arrested or charged as of Wednesday. The report said the case would be filed with the local state attorney’s office, but prosecutors said they didn’t have a record of the case late on Tuesday.
