Bradley Beal Will Not Be Ready for Clippers Opening Night

Los Angeles Clippers guard Bradley Beal is dealing with knee inflammation and will not be ready for the start of the regular season. It remains unclear how long the veteran guard will remain sidelined. In his absence, Darius Garland, Keaton Wagler, and Kris Dunn are expected to dominate backcourt minutes. Beal's previous campaign was cut short by a hip injury after averaging 8.2 points and 1.7 assists across just six regular-season appearances for Los Angeles.
