Now, the team <a href="https://x.com/TheSteinLine/status/1991915631839776900" rel="noopener">looks to implement</a> a disabled player exception for the Beal injury, according to NBA insider Jake Fischer.</p><p>“The Los Angeles Clippers have applied for a disabled player exception, according to league sources, as a result of losing Bradley Beal to a season-ending injury,” Fischer wrote on X.</p><p>It’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/los-angeles-clippers/clippers-news-james-harden-fighting-message-slump">another blow for the Clippers</a>, as they have struggled mightily this season, starting 4-11 and looking like the playoffs might be a long shot. Because of this, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/los-angeles-clippers/clippers-3-best-targets-to-replace-bradley-beal-after-season-ending-injury">Clippers might have to improvise</a> as they try to climb themselves out of the hole they’re in. With Beal out, the Clippers need someone else to step up. Unfortunately, that is not the only juggling the team has had to do because of injuries.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/los-angeles-clippers/clippers-news-kawhi-leonard-gets-injury-update-for-game-vs-magic-after-8-straight-games-missed">Kawhi Leonard has also been out,</a> missing the last nine games. Currently, the team has had Kobe Sanders fill in the spot, with little success. With Beal, the Clippers have slightly more depth. James Harden is currently the starting point guard, and Chris Paul is the first off the bench. Additionally, Bogdan Bogdanovic has rotated between point guard and shooting guard.</p><p>When the Clippers signed Beal, there was a lot of hope, with some skepticism, that he could be a major contributor for the team. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case as Los Angeles will need to find a way to win without him. With injuries mounting for the team, it might be a tough task for the Clippers to pull out wins in the massive Western Conference.</p><p>The Clippers are currently 12th in the Western Conference and trail the Golden State Warriors by four games for the final play-in spot. Additionally, they are fourth in the Pacific Division while looking up at the Warriors, Phoenix Suns, and Los Angeles Lakers. The Clippers’ next game will be Saturday in North Carolina, as they face the Charlotte Hornets in an attempt to snap a three-game losing streak.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Last week, the team officially announced that Bradley Beal suffered <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/los-angeles-clippers/clippers-news-bradley-beal-undergo-season-ending-surgery-hip-fracture">a fractured hip</a>, which will <a href="https://x.com/TomerAzarly/status/1988703164141564360?s=20" rel="noopener">rule him out</a> for the remainder of the year season.</p><p>“I feel horrible for Brad,” Clippers President of Basketball Operations told members of the media in a press conference. “Brad, since the time we’ve signed him, has been in the building, really since July rehabbing from his knee injury. Did everything we asked. He’s such a high character guy and just feel horrible for him that he’s dealing with this, you know, fractured hip. The great or the optimistic thing is talking to multiple surgeons. They’re extremely optimistic that he’ll make a full recovery. He’ll be back for next year.”</p><p>Beal had been brought along slowly to start this season after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery back in May. He was expected to make a full recovery, but the Clippers training staff was careful in limiting how quickly he could return to his normal workload.</p><p>Unfortunately, Beal never got to see that full workload due to the hip fracture.</p><p>“I guess the silver lining is that, as we’re trying to manage the inflammation of his knee, we’ll get more time to deal with that. But I just feel horrible for Brad. Professional athletes, the toll that takes on their body and just to deal with these injuries and to deal with surgeries, your heart goes out to them. But also know for Brad that we’re extremely encouraged about what the outcome will be and look forward to having him here next year healthy.”</p><p>Beal suffered the injury early in the second quarter of the Clippers’ home game against the Phoenix Suns. Beal attempted to dive towards a loose ball, but before he could even make his move, appeared to injure his hip.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">This is the moment Bradley Beal fractured hip, according to Lawrence Frank <a href="https://t.co/FUgSsFagGF">pic.twitter.com/FUgSsFagGF</a></p><p>— Law Murray ⛲️ (@LawMurrayTheNU) <a href="https://twitter.com/LawMurrayTheNU/status/1988785447959756974?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 13, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Beal had dealt with hip injuries in the past, but Frank says this injury was unrelated to any prior injuries.</p><p>“This is a complete separate type of injury,” Lawrence Frank added. “This is a very, very fluky injury. If you want to, it happened at 9:12 in the second quarter in the game against Phoenix, you can actually see it. The surgeons said it’s almost like the equivalent of if you were in like a car accident. It’s an atypical kind of basketball injury. It’s more of an acute trauma type injury. So, you know, you do all the imaging on basically every parts of a player’s body. But the two aren’t related.”</p><p>Beal, who was bought out of his contract in July, signed a two-year deal with the Clippers that includes a player option for the 2026-27 season. As Frank mentioned, the six-to-nine month recovery timetable means Beal is expected to be ready to play at the start of next season.</p><p>“He’ll have surgery early next week,” Frank said. “He’ll stay in the hospital for a couple days, but then basically at the location of where the surgery will take place, he’ll have to stay there for around five-to-seven days, kind of be immobilized. Then he’ll be on crutches for basically four-to-six weeks. He’ll be here, but a large part of this is, probably anywhere from six-to-eight weeks, basically just letting everything heal. And you know, they’ll do some light work with him, and then once you get past that benchmark, then you’ll start the rehab.”</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Bradley-Beal-during-Clippers-game-in-2025.jpg"><figcaption>Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>When brought on in the offseason, Bradley Beal was expected to fill in the role of the recently-traded Norman Powell. Powell, who had a near-All-Star season for the Clippers last year, was traded to the Miami Heat as a part of the trade that brought John Collins to the Clippers.</p><p>But Beal’s injury leaves a gaping hole at the shooting guard position, with the Clippers desperately needing a guard not named James Harden to create offense for themselves and others.</p><p>“I’ve stayed in touch with him throughout the whole process,” said Frank. “I think there’s a wide range of emotions from him. One, in his way, he feels like he’s let us down by being hurt which is the complete opposite, but that’s kind of his loyalty and kind of gratitude for being in this situation. He feels horrible that he’s not there for his teammates, and that he was really hoping to have a really, really good year.</p><p>“People forget that last year, Brad was basically a 50-40-80 guy averaging 17 points a game, so he was looking to do better than that and he’s disappointed that he won’t be there for his teammates and coaches.”</p><p>Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue and Bradley Beal have Missouri ties and were hopeful to build on their relationship both on and off the basketball court this season.</p><p>“I just told him prayers to him,” Lue said of his messaging to Beal. “He put in the work all preseason trying to get back and trying to get right and then this happens. You feel bad when these types of things happen to any player, whether it’s to your team or any player across the league. Just feel bad for him. Just praying for him that the recovery is speedy and he gets back to being himself.”</p><p>Beal finished this season having played in only six games, averaging 8.2 points and 1.7 assists while shooting 37.5 percent from the field and 36.8 percent from three.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Beal was a key free agent addition for the Clippers, especially after they traded Norman Powell to the Miami Heat. It was expected for Beal to be an instant scorer in the starting lineup, but just through two to three weeks of the season, that dream will not come true.</p><p>With the Clippers already <a href="https://x.com/ShamsCharania/status/1988699718948647176?s=20" rel="noopener">dealing with injuries</a> outside of Beal, they’re going to need an offensive boost from somewhere. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/los-angeles-clippers/clippers-news-kawhi-leonard-injury-update-2">Kawhi Leonard has been out</a> for the past week because of a right ankle sprain, and it’s uncertain when he’ll be back on the court.</p><p>As of now, there are a few options that the Clippers can look at in a trade or in the free agent market. Here are some of those options that they should consider.</p><h2><b>Malik Monk – Sacramento Kings</b></h2><p>There were recent rumors that the Kings could be looking to go into a full rebuild after their slow start to the season, and it could involve their big 3 of Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, and Domantas Sabonis. Though they could eventually be on the trade block, the Kings could start small and put some other pieces on the trade block. One of those players is Malik Monk, who has been in trade rumors before.</p><p>Monk is a scorer who could help the Clippers, and they could probably get him for a small price.</p><h2><b>Cam Thomas – Brooklyn Nets </b></h2><p>Cam Thomas has shown over the past few years that he can be an instant scorer, but he’s been doing it for a team that hasn’t won much. This season, it may be even worse, as the Nets have started the season 1-10, and they could be sellers at some point during the season. There’s also a chance that Thomas and the Nets are not a long-term match, as they didn’t agree to an extension during the offseason.</p><p>It might be best for the Nets to try and get assets for him now if he could just walk in the offseason.</p><h2><b>Max Christie – Dallas Mavericks</b></h2><p>The Dallas Mavericks could be looking to make some major changes to the team after firing general manager Nico Harrison, but it’s uncertain what they’ll do. If they decide to move some players, the Clippers should look at acquiring Max Christie, who shouldn’t come at a huge price.</p><p>The Clippers already have Cam Christie, who is his brother, so it wouldn’t be bad to have a family reunion.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
