Clippers Director: Bill thinks he has let us down, but he has not. He will come back with full blood.

According to previous reports, the Los Angeles Clippers' new backcourt player Bradley Beal suffered a hip fracture. He will need to undergo surgery and he has also been retired early this season. Subsequently, Clippers director of basketball operations Lawrence Frank also talked about Bill's situation at the press conference.

When asked about Bill's current mentality, Frank said: I have been in close contact with Bill throughout the whole process, and I think his emotions are very complicated. On the one hand, he felt like he had let us down, but he didn't, which was a reflection of his loyalty and his gratitude for being in this situation, and he was sad that he could no longer help and support his teammates. You know, he really wanted to have a very, very good season here. He really wanted to prove his strength again in front of everyone and tell everyone that he could play a key role in the team. Unfortunately, this was the result and he had to end the season early.

Frank continued: Bill is very disappointed that he cannot continue to play for the team and coaches this season, and then he needs to undergo an operation, an operation that will cost him an entire season. Therefore, it must be mixed with that kind of sadness and depression, which is inevitable. But I think all of these emotions will eventually turn into resolutions for the future. For Bill, although this season is over, he will still have a long career. He is a very motivated player and I have no doubt that he will be able to find his level again after recovery and help the team again.

In the NBA regular season last season, Bill was affected by injuries in 82 games and played a total of 53 times on behalf of his old club Suns, averaging 32.1 minutes per game. The average data is 17 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.5 blocks, 1.9 turnovers and 2.6 fouls. The shooting percentage is 49.7%, the three-point shooting percentage is 38.6%, and the free throw percentage is 80.3%. Since the start of this season, Bill has played a total of 6 times, averaging 20.2 minutes per game, averaging 8.2 points, 0.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 0.5 steals per game, as well as 1.5 turnovers and 2.3 fouls. He shot 37.5% from the field, 36.8% from the three-point range, and 75% from the free throw line. This summer, Bill joined the Clippers with a two-year contract worth $11 million. He also had high hopes from the team, but he ended up being reimbursed for the season ahead of schedule. Considering that the Clippers' current record is in a mess and Bill was reimbursed early, the Clippers' situation is really worrying.
