Bradley Beal Expecting Suspension After Fight with Draymond Green

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal is anticipating a suspension following his altercation with Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green on Friday night.

"I'm expecting a suspension," Beal said, per Candace Buckner of the Washington Post. "Because of our NBA and the entire situation of it. When you look at film, they're going to think I purposely tried to hit [Green] in the face. The way it looks, they're going to interpret it that way. So, I'm expecting it.

"We prepared for it today just in case that does happen. The team prepared for it, but at the same time, I'm still positive that I will play and just receive a fine for it."

The incident took place as the two positioned themselves for a rebound during the second quarter of Golden State's 120-117 win. Beal appeared to hit Green in the face from behind while Green was boxing him out, leading Green to turn around and grab Beal.

They continued to tussle before falling to the court and were separated by coaches and teammates.

Green's jersey didn't survive the altercation, per CBS Sports NBA:

"I don't know what I'm supposed to do if someone hits you twice," Green said at halftime, per Chris Haynes of ESPN.com. "Man, you're taught as a kid not to allow that. What was I supposed to do?"

Beal hinted that tensions had been building throughout the game.

"Things were said. Things were done throughout the whole game," he said. "But I'm not going to go into detail."
