Bradley Beal's return against the Clippers is questionable due to an elbow injury

The three-time All-Star played in just 53 games last season in his first year in Phoenix.

Beal missed last week's home opener against Dallas because of right elbow soreness after getting caught in a screen late in a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. He returned to action in Monday's rematch win over the Lakers at Footprint Center and scored 15 points, but shot just 1 of 7 from 3.

Beal has also struggled with right shoulder soreness this season.

Josh Okogie remains out with a right hamstring strain. He didn't play in the regular season.

This is the second game in a row for the Clippers, who hosted Portland on Wednesday night. Kawhi Leonard and Mo Bamba were taken out of the game due to knee injuries.
