Watch Bradley Beal splash the first bucket from LA
Bradley Beal converted his first bucket as a member of the Los Angeles Clippers during their preseason finale against the Golden State Warriors on Friday night.
Bill is getting ready for his first season as a member of the Clippers. He moved on from a two-year stint with the Phoenix Suns, a significant step back from his All-Star year with the Washington Wizards. He accepted a buyout to become an unrestricted free agent, joining Los Angeles over the summer.
Bill wanted to start the new chapter of his NBA career with a fresh start, which he can have with the team in Los Angeles. He converted his first basket in the opening minutes of the contest, using an Ivica Zubac screen to knock down a mid-range jumper.
