Bradley Beal returns to Clippers

Bradley Beal has agreed to return to the Los Angeles Clippers on a two-year, $13.2 million contract, according to Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports. The deal includes a player option for the second season.

Beal entered free agency after declining his $5.6 million player option, a move that also provided the Clippers with additional financial flexibility to pursue other roster moves.

The three-time NBA All-Star considered his options on the open market before ultimately deciding to remain in Los Angeles.

Beal is working his way back from hip surgery that sidelined him for most of last season.
