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>

Instead, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/los-angeles-clippers/clippers-news-bradley-beal-reveals-everybody-brutal-start">it turned into a lowlight reel</a> the Clippers would rather forget. In a 115-102 loss to the Suns on Thursday night, the Los Angeles Clippers bottomed out. They trailed by as many as 25 points and watched their newest star endure one of the worst performances of his career.</p><p>Beal’s stat line told the story. He had a paltry 5 points on 2-of-14 shooting, including 1-of-5 from 3-point range, one rebound, one assist, two turnovers, and three fouls. With both James Harden (personal leave) and Kawhi Leonard (sprained ankle) sidelined, Beal had every opportunity to lead the way. His rhythm, however, vanished under the desert lights.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/los-angeles-clippers/clippers-news-fans-roast-bradley-beal-dreadful-shooting-game-suns">The boos from Suns fans</a> didn’t help. Once hailed as part of Phoenix’s “Big Three,” Beal’s short, injury-riddled stint there left lingering frustration among fans. On Thursday, those frustrations poured down from the stands.</p><p>Beal looked tense from the start. <a href="https://x.com/MrBuckBuckNBA/status/1986750398175015272" rel="noopener">He missed open jumpers</a>, forced bad shots, and struggled to find his spots in Tyronn Lue’s offense. By the time the fourth quarter rolled around, Beal’s confidence was gone.</p><p>The timing couldn’t have been worse. The Clippers are now 3-5 and sitting at the bottom of the Pacific Division, tied with the Sacramento Kings. They’ve looked nothing like the team that had blown out the Suns in their home opener. Beal’s disastrous night came just as Phoenix’s new acquisition, Jalen Green, debuted with 29 points in only 23 minutes.</p><p>Beal’s minute restriction has kept him under 21 minutes per game so far this season. Still, Thursday’s showing marked a new low. His limited time on the floor produced the worst plus-minus of any Clipper this season. The organization continues to preach patience. That said, for a veteran on a two-year, $11 million deal, time may be running short.</p><p>Saturday’s rematch at Intuit Dome offers Beal a quick shot at redemption.

Speaking candidly to reporters, Beal admitted that accountability has become a daily part of his adjustment to life in Los Angeles.</p><p>“Everybody’s on my a**,” Beal said with a laugh, acknowledging that <a href="https://x.com/LawMurrayTheNU/status/1986682274277146958">his teammates have been pushing him hard</a> to find his rhythm after a rocky start to the season.</p><p>Beal’s return to Phoenix was one he’d probably like to forget. The 32-year-old guard shot just 2-of-14 from the field. He scored five points as the Clippers fell to the Suns. It was quite a frustrating night for both him and his team.</p><p>Signed to a two-year, $11 million deal in the offseason, Beal remains under a minutes restriction. He is currently averaging around 20 minutes per game as he continues to recover from offseason back surgery. The limited playing time has kept him from finding a consistent offensive flow. Right now, he is far from the volume-scoring star that once made him one of the league’s elite guards.</p><p>The struggles have been magnified by both the expectations surrounding his arrival and the baggage from his injury-plagued stint in Phoenix. His inefficient showing against the Suns only fueled the scrutiny.</p><p>Yet Beal’s comments suggest he’s not going through this alone. His Clippers teammates are holding him accountable while offering encouragement.</p><p>“‘Go, keep shooting, go, go. Just go be you,’” Beal shared about what his teammates tell him. “That’s always encouraging.”</p><p>Clippers center Ivica Zubac defended Beal after the loss, saying the veteran <a href="https://x.com/LawMurrayTheNU/status/1986675582491636100" rel="noopener">got quality looks that simply didn’t fall</a>.</p><p>“He’s still trying to find his rhythm,” Zubac noted, emphasizing that the team remains confident in Beal’s ability to contribute once his health stabilizes.</p><p>Still, Beal’s frustration with his role is clear and perhaps understandable. On <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/los-angeles-clippers/are-kawhi-leonard-james-harden-playing-tonight-clippers-vs-suns-injury-report">a Clippers team loaded with stars</a> like Kawhi Leonard and James Harden, Beal’s challenge is to adapt from primary scorer to efficient complementary threat.</p><p>For Beal and the Clippers, accountability might be exactly what they need. As the veteran guard works through his struggles, the team’s tough love could be the spark that helps him rediscover his rhythm and his confidence as the season unfolds.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Unfortunately, he had an off night as the team suffered a road loss to the Suns.</p><p>The game started as a close one throughout the first half. Phoenix had a 31-27 lead after the first quarter before Los Angeles responded with a 24-17 display to lead by three at halftime. However, the Suns torched the Clippers in the last 24 minutes, outscoring them 67-51 throughout that span.</p><p>Perimeter shooting and steals played key roles in the matchup. The Suns prevailed in both categories as they made 19 3-pointers while creating 13 steals. It wasn’t the same for the Clippers, converting just 10 triples while having just eight steals.</p><p>Five players scored in double-digits for Los Angeles. Ivica Zubac led the way with 23 points, 11 rebounds, two assists, and two steals. He shot 8-of-14 overall and 7-of-8 from the charity stripe. Cam Christie came next with 17 points and three assists, John Collins had 13 points and four rebounds, Bogdan Bogdanovic put up 12 points and five assists, while Derrick Jones Jr. provided 10 points.</p><p>The Clippers will look to bounce back in their next matchup, being at home. They host the Suns in a rematch on Nov. 8 at 10:30 p.m. ET.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

This year, he is averaging 19 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 2.3 blocks while shooting 59.2 percent.</p><p>Notably, Sarr has shifted his game to focus more inside the paint, doubling his attempts at the rim while halving his three-point volume, yet shooting 45.4 percent from beyond the arc, up from 30.8 percent last season.</p><p>Washington’s loss at the hands of Boston exposed ongoing issues within the squad. The Wizards led 37-26 after the first quarter but could not sustain the momentum. The Celtics’ 21-4 second-quarter run swung the lead to Boston, who widened it to a 29-point victory. Washington was particularly hindered by 19 turnovers that allowed the Celtics 30 points, while the Wizards managed only three points off Boston’s mistakes.</p><p>Other Washington contributors included Justin Champagnie and Marvin Bagley III, who combined for 23 points on 9-of-10 shooting, and Malaki Branham, who scored 10 points in limited minutes. However, no other player reached double figures, leaving the scoring burden squarely on Sarr.</p><p>The Wizards will host the Cleveland Guardians on Friday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Both <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/los-angeles-clippers/clippers-news-kawhi-leonard-plans-to-play-back-to-backs-but-it-may-not-be-up-to-him">forward Kawhi Leonard and guard Bradley Beal are sitting out</a> the Thunder game <a href="https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/referee/injury/Injury-Report_2025-11-04_05PM.pdf" rel="noopener">for maintenance reasons</a>, as reflected on their respective status updates on the NBA’s official injury report.</p><p>These moves on Leonard and Beal are not exactly surprising. They were expected, considering that the Thunder game will be the Clippers’ second outing in as many days. Both players played and started on <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/los-angeles-clippers/clippers-tyronn-lue-sick-of-the-same-st-over-and-over-after-loss-to-heat">Monday night’s home game versus the visiting Miami Heat</a>.</p><p>Leonard saw action for 37 minutes against the Heat, scoring 27 points on 10-for-21 shooting from the field, while adding four rebounds, four assists and four steals. It is also worth noting that the 34-year-old Leonard had a mild tweak on his ankle in a prior contest against the New Orleans Pelicans over the weekend.</p><p>Beal, on the other hand, chipped in 12 points with two assists and a steal while going 5-for-8 from the floor in 20 minutes, albeit in a 120-119 loss to Bam Adebayo and company.</p><p>Without Leonard and Beal, the Clippers will have to rely on the healthy bodies on their roster to cover up for the usual production of the two players.</p><p>Without Leonard and Beal, the Clippers will have to rely on the healthy bodies on their roster to cover up for the usual production of the two players. Bogdan Bogdanovic, Kris Dunn and John Collins are some of the Clippers who could see increased playing time and usage on the floor versus the Thunder, who are starting a four-game win streak after crushing the New Orleans Pelicans at Oklahoma City, 137-106, on Sunday.</p><p>On the season, Leonard is leading LA with 24.3 points per game on 50.5 percent shooting from the floor and 40 percent on his attempts from behind the arc. Beal is averaging just 8.0 points per outing while knocking down 48 percent of his field goal attempts and 40.0 percent of his shots from the 3-point region.</p><p>Beating the Thunder gets a taller order for the Clippers without Leonard and Beal, but especially the former.

One of those moves was to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/clippers-news-bradley-beal-officially-suns-buyout-sign-la">acquire former All-Star guard Bradley Beal</a> after he <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/phoenix-suns/suns-news-why-bradley-beal-buyout-talks-got-heated">reached a contract buyout with the Phoenix Suns</a>. With the Clippers set to square off against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, they might be without Beal’s services as he popped up on the team injury report.</p><p>Bradley Beal is <a href="https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/referee/injury/Injury-Report_2025-10-26_10AM.pdf" rel="noopener">officially listed as questionable</a> for the Clippers game against the Blazers, as per the NBA’s official injury report. He is listed as dealing with back soreness. A final update on Beal likely won’t come until right before the game.</p><p>Beal joined the Clippers in the offseason when he signed as a free agent following a two-year stint with the Suns. He’s suited up in the Clippers’ first two games of the season, playing around 20 minutes per game. He’s averaged 5.5 points, 1.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists with splits of 44.4 percent shooting from the field, 25 percent shooting from the three-point line and 100 percent shooting from the free-throw line.</p><p>Beal has slotted in as the starting shooting guard for the first two games, and if he is unable to play, that likely means more of an opportunity for backup guard Kris Dunn, who was a big part of the Clippers’ success last season.</p><p>The No. 3 overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, Beal is now in his 14th season in the league. He played the first 11 seasons of his career with the Washington Wizards, where he was selected to three All-Star appearances. The Wizards traded him to the Suns ahead of the 2023-24 season. A team that was expected to be a contender around Beal, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, just never was able to find any consistency on the court.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
