Washington Wizards shooting guard **Bradley Beal** \– a three-time NBA All-Star — is under police investigation … after he was involved in a confrontation with some hecklers following a game last week, **TMZ Sports** has learned.
The complaint against Beal was lodged on March 22, according to the Orlando Police Dept., roughly 24 hours after the basketball player was involved in a spat with two fans following his team’s 122-112 loss to the Magic in Florida.
The dispute between Beal and the fans arose right after the 29-year-old hooper was walking down a tunnel to the Wizards’ locker room area at Amway Center.
One of the guys in a group yelled at Beal, “You f\*\*\*ed me \[out of\] $1,300, you f\*\*\*!”
Beal then turned, walked toward the fans, and appeared to knock the hat off one of the guys’ heads in response to the heckle.
Beal and the fans then jawed back and forth, with Beal calling the comment “disrespectful.”
“Keep it a buck,” Beal said. “I don’t give a f\*\*\* about none of your bets or your parlays, bro. That ain’t why I play the game.”

Sounds like the fan got what he deserved. Betting on Brad Beal is worthy of getting slapped in the head
lmao that’s weak asf. so a fan can talk shit to beal but beal is the bad guy for tapping the guys hat
Flipping a hat is “battery”? I don’t know the law but wtf
Fan struck gold though, lost the parlay but he’s gonna make thousands from that settlement
Knocking off a harassers hat is considered Battery?
You gotta be a bitch of a person to cry over having your hat knocked off
Imagine calling the police because you yelled at a guy and he knocked your hat off lmfao
NBA fans are fucking annoying pieces of shit, i even feel bad for them millionaire players for having to deal with them
Fuck your parlays
Betting in favor of the wizards is just a bad decision all around
isnt this why teams pay security guys full-time salaries? he shouldnt have been allowed near the heckler and now put in a frivolous situation
Just off the headline you’d have expected Beal to have scrapped with like 4 fans or something not flip his hat lmao.
Beal should ask him what he needed for the next one and make sure to get one less than it hahah
Least agitated degenerate gambler
Brad is in the right here, fuck your parlays. It’s never that serious.
Hope the fan doesn’t get a cent
I wish Beal would have done more tbh
Title should be “Sensitive loser gambling addict gets called out by Beal”
wtf i love brad beal now
It was probably only a $5 bet with a $1,300 payout too
Sports betting continues to make the sport feel gross.
I wonder if it’s added to the toxicity levels of online discussion.
God I hate sports gambling and how a lot of gamblers treat athletes like shit because of their gambling addiction.
Sports betting is a fucking plague.
What an asshole.
Leagues done
I hate the mentality that a player “lost” you money. Like no, you lost yourself money being a degenerate gambler.
I love Beal so seeing this scared the shit out of me. But if the synopsis is giving the whole story, he’s a fucking legend
I hope one day the laws allows you to do shit like this to people harassing you
We’ve evolved to the point to know that words can affect you too.
I was scared when I saw battery , but beating up annoying fans is hood in my book lol. #freebeal
Can we make gambling illegal again? This shit is toxic af to the sport, and I’m legitimately worried what one of these degenerate losers might do to players if they lose big
Legalizing betting so openly was probably a big mistake tbh. Lots of fans are already entitled assholes now throw in them being idiots with zero impulse control and putting their savings money on the line in reg season games and this will be more and more common. Bitch move going to the cops after you harassed a player, fuck out of here. Wish Beal hit him harder, real dweeb behavior
This is going to become more commonplace as sports gambling increases.
You’re laughing? He got his hat knocked off and you’re laughing?
Saw that he was under investigation for battery and was very disappointed. Hearing the full story, even if he did it, I’m not all that worked up about it. Fuck hecklers.
He said Im gon get my 1300 one way or another.
I really fucking hate what gambling is doing to the sports i love
I hate sports gambling. Sucks all the fun out of it.
Beal didn’t fuck this guy out of $1,300. He’s a stupid parlay better. These guys make 1 bet a day hoping to hit it big. They’ll put in a 7-8 team/player parlay for like $15 hoping to win around the number he said, $1,300.
Parlay loses are the new bad beat poker stories people go around blabbing about. “Bro, I had a 6 player prop and just needed Jalen Green to have less than 8 turnovers, dude fucked me over.”
One reason these are so popular is well, the assholes on TV openly push them on ESPN and TNT, and on Fanduel and Draftkings, when you are on the home page it usually has some random generated player prop to bet on.
EDIT: When I first login to Fanduel on my phone this is the first thing at the top of the [screen](https://imgur.com/a/lYEzjna).
BATTERY?!?
It’s always hilarious when “tough guys” get put in their place then go cry to their lawyers… Its not even as bad as Nurk tossing a kids phone xD
Beal shouldn’t apologize and i hope the case gets dropped
A couple of people I train BJJ invited me to a Nets game. THREE of them left when the first FT was made, some shit about their “parlay”. Bro, you paid like 140 bucks each for these tickets, why would you leave like less than 15 minutes into the game? No way I was gonna leave, I spent money to watch the game and I haven’t seen Kawhi play in person since the 2019 ECF.
Sports gambling is ruining how people watch sports.
Fuck bettors. Get a real hobby instead of pissing your money away on the slots. If you need money on the line to get hard, you’re playing the wrong game.
Dude trying to cover his stupid betting losses by getting into a civil suit with Beal
fuck gamblers
Calling the police because someone you were harassing knocked your hat off your head is the biggest bitch move I’ve ever heard
Imagine yelling at a player because you gambled dumb shit and lost money. Pathetic.
I’m officially tired of sports betting
Betting on Brad Beal is worthy of getting slapped in the head
