Free agent guard Bradley Beal is re-signing with the Clippers on a two-year, $13.2MM contract, agent Mark Bartelstein tells Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link).
The second season will feature a player option, which is partially guaranteed for $3MM, according to Law Murray of The Athletic (Twitter link).
Beal turned down his $5.62MM player option for the 2026/27 season in late June in order to become an unrestricted free agent. It was a somewhat surprising decision, given that the 33-year-old appeared in just six games in 2025/26 before being sidelined due to a hip injury that required season-ending surgery.
However, reporting at the time indicated that the two sides had mutual interest in a reunion, and Marc Stein recently reiterated that Beal returning to the Clippers was still in play. The team will likely use Beal’s Non-Bird rights to give him a small raise off his previous salary.
