Bradley Beal faces police investigation after altercation with fan over gambling losses.

Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal is being investigated by police in Orlando, Florida after an altercation with a fan supposedly over a lost bet. The man said to Beal that he forced him to lose $1,300 and called him a not-so-nice name. Beal turned around and walked toward a friend of the man who made the comment and swatted his right hand toward him, knocking the man’s hat off and contacting the left side of his head. Police reviewed video footage of the altercation and heard Beal say this is his job and he takes it seriously, and the man is heard apologizing, implying he did not intend to offend him. The complaint states that “probable cause exists to charge Beal with simple battery” and that charges will be filed with the state attorney’s office.
