Bradley Beal Re-Signs With the LA Clippers on a Two-Year Deal
The veteran guard returns to Los Angeles on a $13.2 million contract with a player option, reinforcing a Clippers roster built to compete in the West.
Bradley Beal is staying with the LA Clippers. The three-time All-Star guard re-signed with Los Angeles on a two-year, $13.2 million contract, according to ESPN, keeping him in a Clippers uniform after declining his previous $5.6 million player option earlier in the summer.
Beal's new deal includes a player option for the second season of the agreement.
The contract includes a player option for the 2027-28 season, which is partially guaranteed for $3 million, giving Beal some flexibility heading into his age-35 campaign.
A Rocky First Season in LA
Beal's first year with the Clippers was cut short by injury. He appeared in just six games during the 2025-26 season, averaging 8.2 points per game, before a season-ending hip injury on November 8 ended his campaign early. The new deal gives both sides a chance to build on a partnership that barely got off the ground.
How the Deal Came Together
The signing followed the completion of a contract buyout between Beal and the Phoenix Suns, the team that originally traded for him before their split. Once that buyout was finalized, Beal was free to negotiate with the Clippers on a new, cap-friendly agreement.
What It Means for the Clippers
Bringing back Beal at a modest $13.2 million over two years gives Los Angeles proven scoring depth on a manageable contract as the franchise looks to remain competitive in a crowded Western Conference. If healthy, Beal provides another perimeter scoring option for a roster built to contend now.
