Three-time All-Star guard Bradley Beal plans to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers after reaching a buyout with the Phoenix Suns.

Agent Mark Bartelstein from Priority Sports confirmed on Wednesday with ESPN that Beal will sign a two-year, $11 million deal with the Clippers after clearing waivers. The deal includes a player option for 2026-27, potentially making him a free agent next summer.

Beal, 32, will give back nearly $14 million of the $110 million left on the final two years of his contract in order to complete the buyout with Phoenix, per ESPN.

He signed a five-year, $251 million deal with a no-trade clause in July 2022 when he was still with the Washington Wizards.

Beal is heading to the Clippers after entertaining offers from the Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves and others, according to multiple reports.

Beal was limited to 53 games in each of his two seasons with the Suns, and he has not played as many as 60 games in any season since 2020-21.

He averaged 17.0 points, 3.7 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 53 games (38 starts) last season. He has career averages of 21.5 points, 4.3 assists and 4.1 rebounds in 801 games (752 starts) with the Wizards and Suns.

Washington drafted Beal with the No. 3 overall pick in 2012. His 31.3 scoring average in 2020-21 was the second highest in franchise history and second highest in the NBA that season behind Golden State's Stephen Curry (32.0).
