That's my gut feeling, maybe 10-15 minutes, depending. i don't see a reason to have 2 practices and participate in a shoot around and not play.


I would be surprised to see that.

If he practices today and they see how he feels tomorrow and he practices again, then Wed would be his first full day to rest to have his legs recover. Then he will have some spring in his step TH. Then there is a game Friday. That would be good timing for him to have his legs under him enough to come off the bench. Then he get a few more day to get up to 100% before the next game where he might start against ATL where he would be chasing around Kyle then CLE the next night.

Thats what I expect.

but thats the thing. I doubt that they practice today. You dont get to have real practices that much in the NBA due to the schedule. They will probably have a lil walkthrough and a film session with a shoot around. They also wont practice on Thursday with another game on Friday. The good thing is that because of that, most coaches just throw guys out there since there is no time to practice anyways. They have to knock off rust and get there legs in the games.

With that being said, Im not for the bench stuff. I say if he's ready to play then he should start right off the bat. You can still limit his minutes in the starting lineup and it will probably be easier for him with all the talent around him and Wall feeding him open shots. I just dont want Temple to start and then Beal eating up Butler's minutes or Porters. He should be eating up Temples

Jorge Castillo tweeted that Wittman wouldn't rule out playing Beal tomorrow, no soreness. I think Beal's first game against Cleveland on ESPN is a bit much. It would make sense if he played some tomorrow night in preparation for the big game Friday.

Beal seems to be coming along nicely.

Sounds like he wasn't to sore.

I wish a reporter would ask if he will be coming off the bench or starting.

I agree with Dlt

Why do you think the CLE game is bigger then the DAL game ?

Both are big. DAL might even been bigger. They are the more balanced team.

probably just feel like its more low key and a WC team whie the Cavs will be a rival again and its EC on ESPN but Im greedy and want him for both as long as he's "mentally" ready. Im worried that he may have had his mind set on the Cavs and may not be ready to play against the Mavs

Without Beal this would have been an easy double digit win for Dallas. Welcome back, and please tell Wall to ditch that floater.

I really think Beal will be a much improved player this year. Taking better and more efficient shots while also being a better one on one player.

He's taking it to the hole more too, and his handles look a lot better.

Not sure if he'll be All-Star caliber this year (probably just a cut below the other elite guards in the East), but by next year for sure he will be a bonafide AS.

Honestly, Beal looked his post season/preseason version yesterday. Obviously he isn't going to put up per 36 stats like he did yesterday, but I think when he does settle in, he should be a factor in keeping us many games. Defense will come with time. He's playing with some new faces in the 2nd unit so it isn't like he knows exactly what their defensive tendencies are (If any in Millers and Seraphin's case).

The main thing for him is to keep his dribble alive and look to get to the rim rather than settle for long 2s when they run him off the 3 point line. He did a good job getting to the basket yesterday, under control unlike Wall.

When Beal plays like he did last night, he's the best Wizard on the floor. Hopefully he keeps it up.

lets not overreact. The best version of Wall is better and more impaxtful theb the best version of Beal but I feel Beal has a chance to be the more consistent player. However, some of that is due to him playing with Wall

Wall is the most important player because if he goes down for any extended period, the team is screwed. As we've seen already, the team can win a bit without Beal. But when Beal is on, he's clearly the best basketball player on this team.

No he is not. When they both are on, Beal cant do anything better but shoot and that might not even be the case considering Wall is on. He just recently had games of like 30 & 12 but no one cares because its Wall. They only remember his bad stuff. Wall has went off for 47pt games and other big scoring games while also having games with 15 plus assist. His defense is much better then Beal's when they want to play. Wall can make every other player on the team better when he's playing at a high level where mostly Beal's stuff is just going to be about him. He can inspire but not truly make them play better.

When Wall is playing well he can control a game. Beal can never control a game. When Wall is going well he can literally take the game over and be the clear sole reason why the other team cant win. Beal is more about he's scoring well which helps us win but you dont feel that same dominant impact on the game. Man this board sleeps on Wall too much

Glad to have Beal back. He didn't look like he missed time at all. He'll only get better moving forward.

A shame he got hurt or my prediction of him making the All-Star team would definitely happen.
Eric Maynor is the worst basketball player I've ever seen.
