While the Los Angeles Clippers seem to be seeing strides made by some of their other injured players, Bradley Beal doesn’t appear to be on the same trajectory.
Beal is exactly one year removed from having undergone season-ending surgery to repair his fractured hip. The three-time All-Star’s hip has been cleared, but Beal remains on the injury report with right knee inflammation.
Beal has continued to serve as “a veteran leader” who spends time talking with the young guys, but when he will be able to get back on the court remains undecided.
“Every time we get him on the court to do something three days in a row, then it's like, it's not good results,” Clippers coach Tyronn Lue told reporters on Nov. 12.
Beal averaged just 8.2 points, 1.7 assists,
and 0.8 rebounds in his six games played last season before his injury.
For his career, Beal has averaged 21.4 points, 4.3 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game through 14 seasons.
Beal re-signed with the Clippers as a free agent in August to a two-year deal worth $13.2 million. The deal has a player option for the second year.
