Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal says he hasnโ€™t yet gotten a COVID-19 vaccination.

Beal revealed his status during the Wizardsโ€™ annual media day ahead of the start of training camp, citing, โ€œpersonal reasonsโ€ for declining the vaccine, Yahoo Sports reported.

However, he clarified Tuesday that he hasnโ€™t ruled out getting the shot.

โ€œIโ€™m still considering getting the vaccine, so one thing I want to make clear is that Iโ€™m not sitting up here advocating that you shouldnโ€™t get the vaccine,โ€ Beal said, according to a Yahoo Sports reporter. โ€œโ€ฆIโ€™m not sitting here saying I wonโ€™t get it.โ€

Beal, who was forced to miss playing for Team USA at the Tokyo Olympics this summer after entering COVID-19 protocols, confirmed Monday that he had tested positive for the disease, Yahoo reported.
