Overview

  • In an August 11 interview with KMOV’s Tamar Sher, Beal underscored winning a title as his primary motivation for joining the Clippers.
  • He signed a two-year, roughly $10.9 million veteran deal after reaching a buyout agreement with the Suns.
  • His arrival bolsters a veteran-heavy roster featuring Kawhi Leonard, James Harden and Chris Paul that is built for an immediate title push.
  • Clippers president Lawrence Frank praised Beal as a two-way scorer who brings additional shooting, ball-handling and playmaking to the lineup.
  • He relinquished his No. 3 jersey to Chris Paul out of respect and questions remain over his durability after injuries limited him to 53 games last season.
