Bradley Beal takes jersey number 3 with the Los Angeles Clippers

Bradley Beal will wear the number 3 jersey for the Los Angeles Clippers this season. This jersey number previously belonged to Chris Paul, who played for the team from 2011 until 2017 and again during the 2025 season. Chris Paul stated previously that Lawrence Frank told him the franchise would retire the number after his departure from the team in December. The organization faces internal front-office instability during the ongoing Aspiration scandal, which has reportedly delayed the trade of Kawhi Leonard to the Toronto Raptors. Lawrence Frank remains subject to a six-month suspension, leaving the team to navigate current roster decisions amid executive absences. Official jerseys featuring the number 3 are currently available for purchase through the team store.
