Following a three-game wait in the preseason, fans saw Bradley Beal play his first contest as an LA Clipper. It was in a bit of an unusual circumstance, as he was just one of two confirmed starters playing in the finale against Golden State, as the other was Ivica Zubac.
Moreover, head coach Tyronn Lue only had Beal play 15 minutes, and in that time, he impressed and proved on a loud scale through his movement and activity on both sides of the ball why he was an upgrade in Lue's starting five from a year ago.
