Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal is expected to return to action against the New York Knicks on Monday night.

The 20-year-old has missed the last nine games after suffering a stress injury in his leg, but he will be assessed after the pre-game work-out.

"We'll see. I got to work out before the game, and the trainers, coaches and myself will decide before then. Still not sure," he told reporters.

Beal has not played since the defeat to the Knicks on November 23, and the Wizards have gone 4-5 in his absence.
