Bradley Beal

Bradley Emmanuel Beal Sr. (born June 28, 1993) is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Clippers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Nicknamed "the Big Panda", he is a three-time NBA All-Star and one-time All-NBA Third Team selection. Beal was selected by the Washington Wizards with the third overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft. In eleven seasons with Washington, he was named to the All-Rookie First Team in 2013, the All-NBA Third Team in 2021, and was a three-time All-Star. Beal is second on the Wizards' all-time leading scorer list. Beal was traded to the Phoenix Suns in 2023, forming a big 3 with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker; however, he struggled with constant injuries during his Suns tenure, a struggle that has continued to his time with the Clippers as he suffered a season-ending injury just six appearances into the 2025–26 season. One of Beal's contracts - a five-year, $251 million supermax contract with a no-trade clause, initially signed with the Wizards - gained notoriety as among the worst in NBA history.
