Bradley Beal #3 of the Phoenix Suns looks on in a game against the Denver Nuggets during the third quarter at Ball Arena on March 7, 2025 in Denver, Colorado.

Overview

  • Beal surrendered $13.9 million of the $110 million left on his contract to reach a buyout agreement with Phoenix.
  • Once he clears waivers, he will ink a two-year, $11 million deal with the Clippers that includes a player option for 2026-27.
  • The Suns plan to waive and stretch Beal’s $96.1 million remaining salary over five seasons to move below both luxury-tax aprons and regain mid-level exception access.
  • The 32-year-old guard seeks a fresh start after two injury-marred seasons in Phoenix following his 2023 trade from Washington.
  • Beal will join a Clippers backcourt led by Kawhi Leonard and James Harden as Los Angeles boosts its roster around its veteran core.
