Bradley Beal signs two-year deal to return to Clippers
Summary

Bradley Beal has agreed to a two-year, $13.2 million contract with the Los Angeles Clippers, marking his return to the team after an injury-plagued season. The player option in the second year reflects his uncertain status following surgery for a fractured hip that sidelined him for most of last season. Beal, a three-time All-Star, averaged 17 points per game during his limited appearances for the Clippers. His initial signing came after a buyout with the Phoenix Suns, where he had struggled to meet expectations. Moving forward, there is hope he can regain his scoring ability in a supporting role alongside stars like Kawhi Leonard and James Harden.
