Three-time All-Star guard Bradley Beal and the Phoenix Suns agreed to a buyout on the two years remaining on his contract, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
The person spoke to the AP about Beal’s buyout on condition of anonymity because the deal hasn’t been officially announced.
The move paves the way for Beal to sign a two-year, $11 million deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, ESPN reported.
Beal is expected to give back $13.9 million of the $110 million he’s owed from the Suns, which allows Phoenix more flexibility as it tries to rebuild its roster.
The 32-year-old Beal would join a veteran Clippers roster that includes James Harden and Kawhi Leonard. Beal averaged 17.6 points over two disappointing, injury-filled seasons with the Suns.
