With many missed games for the Washington Wizards and Phoenix Suns, the LA Clippers hoped Bradley Beal’s availability would magically return, considering he is on a team with an elite medical staff in a city he wanted to play in. These two factors are key, as players tend to fall in love with the game more when both exist, yet Beal has already missed two out of the Clippers’ first four games.
Furthermore, with the regular season opener exactly one week ago, Beal has made it difficult for Clippers fans to believe he will perform differently in LA.
