INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) - Los Angeles Clippers guard [Bradley Beal](https://apnews.com/article/clippers-bradley-beal-aefc05e4254ba010e29abed6951f4a29) is done for the season.
He has a hip fracture and will undergo surgery, the team announced Wednesday. He is expected to make a full recovery in six to nine months.
The three-time All-Star played in just six games this season, averaging 8.2 points and 1.7 assists. He signed an $11 million, two-year deal with the Clippers in July after the final two years of his contract were bought out by the Phoenix Suns.
The 32-year-old was listed as out for Wednesday night's game against the Denver Nuggets because of left hip soreness. Beal had already missed games because of a left knee injury and lower back soreness.
Beal's two seasons in Phoenix were riddled by injury. The 14-year veteran hasn't played at least 60 games in a season since 2020-21 when he was with the Washington Wizards.
