Bradley Beal has suffered a fractured hip and will undergo season-ending surgery. Beal joined the Los Angeles Clippers in the offseason on a two-year, $11 million deal with a player option for Year 2.
Beal appeared in six games with the Clippers, averaging 8.2 points and 1.7 assists in 20.2 minutes. Beal shot 37.5 percent from the floor and 36.8 percent on three-pointers.
Beal has been limited to no more than 53 games in each of the past four seasons.
“We met with numerous doctors and specialists around the country in collaboration with the entire Clippers medical staff over the last few days, and came to the decision unanimously that the surgery will allow Brad to have a full and complete recovery,” said agent Mark Bartelstein.
