INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) --- Los Angeles Clippers guard Bradley Beal 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.
