Beal, 32, has averaged career lows with 8.2 points and 1.7 rebounds over six games in his first season with Los Angeles.
In 14 NBA seasons, he has averaged 21.4 points with 4.3 assists over 807 games (758 starts) for the Washington Wizards (2012-23), Phoenix Suns (2023-25) and Clippers.
The injury is believed to have occurred during Thursday’s 115-102 loss at Phoenix while Beal was taking a charge. He played in Saturday’s home loss to the Suns and scored 12 points to match a season high in 20 minutes before being ruled out for Monday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks.
Beal’s injury is a blow to a Clippers team already struggling to find its footing this season, as Los Angeles has started 3-7.
