According to ESPN reporter Shams Charania, sources revealed that Clippers guard Bill suffered a hip fracture and will undergo surgery and be reimbursed for the season. Beal's agent Mark Bartels was interviewed.

Reporter: To what extent are they sure that Bill's injury has nothing to do with any injuries from last season?

Mark Bartels: It doesn’t matter at all. He burst out trying to steal and missed the ball. The stress of that step caused him to fracture his hip. It has nothing to do with anything else.
