Bill signed a 250 million contract, missed more than half of the games, and still needs 97 million from the Suns

Clippers guard Bradley Beal underwent surgery for a fractured left hip and was ruled out for the season ahead of schedule.

Bill only played 6 games for the Clippers this season, averaging 8.2 points and 1.7 rebounds per game. He signed with the Clippers for two years and 11 million in the offseason. In the 121 minutes when Beal was on the court this season, the Clippers lost 128.5 points per 100 possessions, the worst rate on the team. When Beal is not on the court, the Clippers allow 113.8 points per 100 possessions.

Since signing a five-year 251 million contract with the Wizards in 2022, the then 29-year-old Bill has averaged 30 points per game for two consecutive years. But since then, Bill has only played 162 games, missed 166 games, and missed more than 50% of the games from 2022-2026. During the same period, Kawhi Leonard only missed 36% of the games, Joel Embiid missed 49% of the games, and Ben Simmons missed 56.1% of the games.

This season, Bill will receive 5.35 million from the Clippers and 19.38 million from the Suns. Next season, Bill will receive 5.62 million from the Clippers and 19.38 million from the Suns. In the next three seasons, Bill will receive 19.38 million per year from the Suns.
