Beal, who’s missed Washington’s last four games, suffered the injury on January 29 against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Wizards have gone 1-3 over that span.
The club had initially explored numerous treatment options before ultimately deciding on surgery.
Beal finishes his season with averages of 23.2 points, 6.6 assists, and 4.7 rebounds in 40 games for the Wiz.
With Beal now sidelined indefinitely, Kyle Kuzma will continue to see an uptick in usage and remains the only reliable player on a Wizards offense ranked 22nd overall (106.8 PPG). Kuzma has struggled with his shot in his past two games but had averaged over 24 points and nine rebounds in his previous four contests.
Washington will travel to Brooklyn on Thursday to battle the Nets.
