The Bradley Beal experiment in Phoenix has officially come to an end. The Phoenix Suns and Beal have agreed to a buyout, where Beal is expected to give back $13.9 million of the $110 million he’s owed from the Suns.

After agreeing to the buyout, Beal is expected to sign a two-year, $11 million deal with a player option for the 2026-2027 season with the Los Angeles Clippers. Beal will have to wait until he clears waivers to officially sign with the Clippers.

Beal fell off in Phoenix from his All-Star self that he was in Washington. In 11 seasons as a member of the Wizards, Beal averaged 22.1 points per game. This includes 31.3 points per game as his high average.

In two seasons with the Suns, where injuries limited him to 106 games, Beal averaged just 17.6 points per game. Hopefully, Beal will regain his form in Los Angeles as a member of the Clippers.
