Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal, is under police investigation after a postgame incident with a fan in Orlando, Florida, who claimed to have lost a bet.

After a 122-112 road loss to the Orlando Magic last Tuesday at Amway Center, Beal and the Wizards were exiting the court through the visitors’ tunnel. As they headed to the locker room, an unidentified man remarked to Beal, “You made me lose $1,300, you f---.” 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.
