Bradley Beal has agreed to a two-year, $13.2M deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, per Shams Charania of ESPN. The second year is a player option.
Beal will return to the Clippers after briefly leaving the franchise upon declining his 2026-27 player option on his contract with the team.
Bradley Beal rejoins LA Clippers
Bradley Beal declined his $5.6 million 2026-27 player option to enter this year's free agency.
He originally joined the Los Angeles Clippers in last year's offseason via a two-year, $11 million contract after negotiating a massive buyout with the Phoenix Suns.
Beal appeared in only six games for the LA Clippers this past season before a hip injury ended his campaign. The three-time All-Star averaged 8.2 points and 1.7 assists, shooting 37.5% from the field.
Beal first explored his free agency options after declining his player option. Ultimately, as added by Charania, both sides hammered out a new deal after the Clippers cleared enough cap space.
The 33-year-old was notably linked to the Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics. Yet in the end, Beal opted for a return to LA to run it back after a short-lived 2025-26 season.
