The Los Angeles Clippers have endured a terrible 2-8 start to the season, with Darius Garland their only player to average more than 20 points per game. One player who has previously attained those levels is the injured Bradley Beal, who last played in the NBA back in November 2025.

Beal suffered a broken hip against the Phoenix Suns, which ended his season as he required surgery. However, he has since been cleared to play but has undergone regular setbacks each time the Clippers attempt to ramp up his workload, per head coach Tyronn Lue, according to a post on X by Law Murray.

“Every time we get him on the court to do something three days in a row, then it’s like, it’s not good results,” he said.

Beal is currently out of contention due to what has been described as right knee inflammation and recovery management. He himself stated at the start of the season that his hip had recovered to almost perfect condition, per a post on X by Farbod Esnaashari.

However, that has led to limited progress as far as a potential return date is concerned. Beal saw his 2024-25 season come to an end after just six games, during which he averaged 8.2 points and 1.7 assists.

He played 53 games both during the 2023-24 and the 2022-23 season, and previously appeared in more than sixty games back during the 2018-19 season. Now 33, it remains to be seen whether Beal can achieve the kind of heights he did during his Washington Wizards days.

The three-time All-Star last averaged more than 20 points per game during his final season in Washington(2022-23), when he averaged 23.2 points and 5.4 assists per game. That was also his seventh straight season hitting that mark across a campaign. However, for now, it remains to be seen when he can play a role for his current team this year.
