The Clippers have reached an agreement to lock in Bradley Beal for two years and $13.2 million.

August 14th - According to ESPN , free agent guard Bradley Beal has reached a two-year, $ 13.2 million contract with a player option for the second year.

Beal had previously declined his $ 5.6 million player option and scouted several teams, including the Miami Heat, in free agency before ultimately choosing to return to the Clippers. To free up salary cap space for the team to explore roster adjustments, Beal opted out of his contract, and the Clippers subsequently offered him a significantly increased new contract.

Last season, Beal underwent surgery for a fractured left hip and played only 6 games, averaging 8.2 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists, playing 20.2 minutes per game , with a three-point shooting percentage of 36.8% , many of which were career lows.

The 33- year -old Beal is about to enter his 15th season in the NBA . So far in his career, he has averaged 21.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game, with a 37.6% three-point shooting percentage . Since leaving the Wizards in the 2022-23 season, Beal has never averaged more than 20 points per game in a single season.
