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.

Beal is preparing for his first season as a member of the Clippers. He moved on from an underwhelming two-year stint with the Phoenix Suns, a significant regression from his All-Star years with the Washington Wizards. He accepted a buy-out to become an unrestricted free agent, joining Los Angeles over the summer.

Beal wanted to start the newest chapter of his NBA career with a fresh start, which he can have with the Los Angeles squad. He converted his first basket during the opening minutes of the contest, using a screen from Ivica Zubac to knock down a mid-range jumper.
