Bradley Beal is about to begin his first season with the Los Angeles Clippers, and he is prepared to make a statement and give a few reminders.
He wants to have an impact on the team, and he has chosen his jersey number.
According to Etienne Catalan, Beal will wear No. 0 for the Clippers.
That number was last used by MarJon Beauchamp in 2025.

Beal might wear a zero on his back, but he doesn’t want to be a zero on the court.
He will have a lot to prove in the new season, especially after his stint with the Phoenix Suns.
During that time, Beal averaged 17.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 4.3 assists across just 91 games.
Beal wasn’t necessarily bad, but he never truly found his footing, much like the rest of the team.
Because of the Suns’ poor performance, Beal received negative comments from fans, and some people started to say that he was past his prime.
However, Beal is only a few years removed from scoring more than 23 points per night, and he wants to return to that.
Will he get the chance with the Clippers?
Like Beal, the team also has a lot to prove in the new season.
They were pointed in the right direction last year and even had some postseason success.
They have added promising players in the summer, and they think they could climb up the Western Conference standings.
It’s been a while since NBA fans viewed Beal as a truly impactful and consequential player, but he could make them change their minds during his first season in Los Angeles.
