Wizards' Bradley Beal Says He Was Drug-Tested After Back-to-Back 50-Point Games

Consider the NBA a bit skeptical of Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal following his back-to-back 50-point outings.ย 

After becoming the first player in franchise historyโ€”and just the 11th in league historyโ€”to accomplish the feat, Beal said he was drug-tested by the league ahead of Washington's 110-106 victory over Brooklyn on Wednesday.ย 

"I guess the league don't want me to score 50," Beal said after the win. "I had a drug test today."

The two-time All-Star dropped 53 against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday and followed that up by establishing a new career-high with 55 against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday. Despite his valiant efforts, the Wizards dropped both contests.

Beal still managed to put up 30 points Wednesday despite the testโ€”and despite the Nets pulling out the box-and-one to try to contain the guard. And while Beal failed to extend his 50-point streak, his latest effort did help his team get back in the win column.ย
