For a few years now, there have been questions about whether Bradley Beal would eventually seek to join a contender after years of the Washington Wizards' mediocrity.

To this point, Beal has remained committed to the franchise. But after a disappointing 2022-23 season, his patience is wearing thin, as he expressed to reporters on Monday.

"I'm definitely disappointed, but I'm not going to sit up here and show you that," he added. "I'm frustrated. I'm angry. I expressed that to the necessary voices and people who need to hear it, for sure."

The Wizards went just 35-47 this past year, missing both the postseason and play-in tournament. It was the fourth time in the past five years that Washington has missed the playoffs, and the franchise hasn't won a playoff series since the 2016-17 campaign.

It was one of three playoff series Beal has won in his time with the Wizards.
