Brad Beal Does A Flip Lands On His Head, Returns To Game

On Thursday, Bradley Beal collided with teammate Cartier Martin in practice, causing Beal to chip his teeth.  On Friday Beal was playing hard and taking some pain again.

On this scary play from Friday night's Wizards victory over the Denver Nuggets Brad Beal jumps up for a block, gets hit in the leg, and then topples over landing directly on his head.  Beal was on the floor for a minute or so, walked to the bench, and a minute later he was back on the floor.

Chris Miller from Comcast Sports spoke to Beal about the fall following the game.  Beal's quote:

"I was tryin' to block the shot, Ty Lawson ended up headfaking...it was just one of those things, he really  couldn't move so I really can't be mad at him.  It was just a bad fall, I ended up falling on my head and everything"

Beal ended with "Go Hard or Go Home!"  Agreed.

Bradley Beal Belly Flops On Floor, Gets Up Fine

I thought that Beal was dead after this attempted layup gone wrong.  A Denver Nuggets player fouls the airborn Bradley Beal who falls parallel to the ground from a few feet in the air, landing directly on his stomach flat like a belly flop.  It looked terrible, but Beal stayed in the game and hit the foul shots.

He still looked shaken up while playing so hopefully nothing gets more sore overnight.

Are The Nuggets Lob City II With JaVale, Ty Lawson Thinks So

The trade is official and JaVale McGee is now a Denver Nugget, and will probably play on Monday night against the Mavs, a game that will be on TNT.

The Denver Post is already pumping up the new Ty Lawson-JaVale McGee combo suggesting names like the Mile Fly.  I find the following quote to be funny:

"We're going to have a new Lob City here," said Nuggets point guard Ty Lawson, who has Kenneth Faried and newcomer JaVale McGee to oop the alleys."

JaVale will be joining first round draft pick Kenneth Faried who is was obviously drafted in the correct position sixteen slots after Janet Vesely.  Faried has been playing some hardcore basketball as of late and McGee could bring the Nuggets some more defensive intensity and energy.

George Karl is the perfect coach for JaVale because his facial expressions are going to be hilarious.  See the first of them tomorrow night at 10:30pm on TNT.

"It's a winning team, so I can show I can win and that I'm not a loser just because I was on a losing team," McGee said."

Let's see it.  Did you know that JaVale's agent is BJ Armstrong...interesting
