Bradley Beal is playing, will come off the bench

WASHINGTON -- The lineups have just come out and Bradley Beal will indeed make his return after missing five games with a wrist injury. He will come off the bench, though. Garrett Temple will be the starter once again.

"We'll warm him up and see where he is after he gets in a nice, solid workout," Randy Wittman said before the game. "Probably [bring him off the bench]."

Beal looked pretty good during the pregame warmup, getting shots up for 20 minutes and not showing any visible discomfort in his wrist.
