All-Star guard Bradley Beal has yet to decide whether he will accept the Washington Wizards' offer of a three-year £89-million maximum contract extension.

Beal, 26, still has two years and £44.7 million remaining on his current contract, but becomes eligible to receive an extension offer on Friday and then would have until October 21 to sign it.

"There are moments in a career where there are big decisions to make, and Brad will work through everything and figure out the right thing to do," Bartelstein said.

"There are nothing but great feelings for (chairman) Ted (Leonsis), (general manager) Tommy (Sheppard) and (head coach) Scott (Brooks). They've treated Brad wonderfully."

Beal scored a career-best 25.6 points per game with 5.5 assists last season. In seven seasons with the Wizards, the former No. 3 overall selection in the 2012 draft has averaged 19.8 points and 3.7 assists. He was an All-Star in each of the past two seasons.

Bradley Beal sunk nine three-pointers for the Wizards' during a victory over the Memphis Grizzlies last season.

Not agreeing to an extension now still might not indicate that Beal has intentions to leave down the road. If he earns all-NBA status in the upcoming season, he could then be eligible for a five-year, £203 million supermax contract next summer.
