Disintegrated in advance? The veteran warship has become a wounded barracks! Brother Deng is really suffering!

It’s hard to imagine that the new NBA season has only started for a few weeks and the Clippers have basically said goodbye.

Today, NBA famous reporter Shams broke the news:

Clippers guard Bradley Beal suffered a hip fracture. After a joint consultation with top medical experts, he has decided to have immediate surgery and be reimbursed for the season!

According to follow-up reports, Bill's injury occurred in the previous game against the Suns:

"Bill slipped when rushing out to steal, and his hip was directly fractured by force."

This is really surprising. It would be understandable if the injury was caused by high-intensity confrontation, but Bill broke his bone without confrontation. With such physical strength, even if he is not injured this time, it may be difficult to go far in the future.

Just looking through Bill's injury history file, this does not seem to be a surprise. In the past five years, his attendance rate has been a mess, and he only played 202 regular season games in five years. After joining the Clippers in the new season, Bill played in 6 games, averaging only 20 minutes per game. His personal data was 8.2 points and 1.7 assists, and his shooting percentage was only 38%.

The offensive data is not even as good as the backup defender, and the defensive end is also a mess. Referring to advanced statistics, when Bill is on the court, the Clippers' defensive efficiency directly reaches the bottom level in the league.

Under such a performance, it is difficult not to think of Powell, who left the team. This season, he averaged 24.8 points, 4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game with the Heat, becoming the team's scoring leader in one fell swoop.

Compared with the gap on the playing field, after the Suns and Bill bought out during the offseason, the remaining 97 million was paid over five years, and then signed a two-year 11 million contract with the Clippers. Even if the season is reimbursed, the salary will still be paid. Calculated from this perspective, Bill has missed 66% of the games since his five-year super cap of 251 million, but has earned 176 million in salary.

After Bill was reimbursed for the season, agent Mark Bartelstein quickly left the game and stated:

"Bill will definitely return at a high level next season! He is talented, responsible, and professional, and will make every effort to recover and return to the top."

From an optimistic perspective, what the agent said is indeed enthusiastic, but from a reality perspective, it is difficult to believe it. Everyone seemed to know that Bill's bowl of chicken soup might be hopeless.

Of course, the Clippers' problem is not just this. After Bill was reimbursed, Kawhi Kawhi also retired from the team due to injury. According to the team's general manager Frank, Leonard's injury may not be as simple as the outside world thinks:

"He is not only injured in his ankle, but also in his leg. We have invited three experts for diagnosis and treatment."

As soon as these words are said, it is basically possible to predict the outcome of the Clippers' season, especially with reference to the trajectory of the Clippers in the past few years. Once Leonard falls, the Clippers will probably be hopeless. Faced with such a remnant formation, coach Tyronn Lue had no choice but to force Harden to play to withstand the situation. Last season, he had Powell as his partner, but this season it is Harden alone.

Previously, he played despite being ill. Even if he performed strongly, it was difficult to reverse the situation. So far, Harden has averaged 34.9 minutes per game, averaging 23.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 9.3 assists. His personal data looks okay, but the team's record has been declining.

Obviously, Harden alone cannot withstand the Clippers' decline.

Speaking of this, it is really difficult not to sympathize with Harden. Since 2014, it seems that someone around him will always fall:

The Spark was injured in the 2014-15 season; Paul was injured in the 2017-18 season. Hamstring strain; I strained my hamstring in the 2020-21 season, and Irving was forced to step aside; Embiid was injured in the 2022 and 23 seasons; Kawhi had knee surgery in the 2024 season; Kawhi was injured at the beginning of the 2025 season, and Bill was reimbursed.

For Harden's bumpy fate, I am really a little blind.

The new season has just begun, and the Clippers seem to have become an injury concentration camp again. The two core players have fallen one after another, and no matter how strong Harden is, he is only one person. From a pessimistic point of view, the Clippers' season may end in tragedy again.

As for Harden, after the team's performance is hopeless, it depends on how much more results he can achieve.
