To support one of the largest architectural arenas in the sports industry worldwide, the LA Clippers' owner, Steve Ballmer, must invest in the highest quality of every aspect within. His job is to attract the league's best talents to Los Angeles, and having a good reputation helps massively.
Furthermore, the Clippers have taken the offseason by storm, and it is no coincidence, considering who they have behind the scenes. Specifically, their medical staff is one-of-a-kind, as they handled Kawhi Leonard's health with care, shielding him to finish his first playoff run in years.
This deserves recognition, especially if they do it for a second consecutive year, as Leonard's history with the Clippers has been marred by injuries.
Moreover, Leonard will be his case next season, but the medical staff will have another in Bradley Beal, who was just signed on a two-year contract. Although not identical to the two-time champion, Beal has his distinct history with injuries, and it is worth noting that luck has not been in his favor since the 2018-19 season.
However, if there is one group of staff members that can bring out the best in Beal, it is the Clippers, proving that he is in the most beneficial situation both individually and for his team.
The LA Clippers' staff will allow Bradley Beal to finally eclipse the 65-game threshold
To put the last time Bradley Beal suited up 65 times in one season into context, which is a reasonable standard for superstars in the NBA, note that Kawhi Leonard was not on the LA Clippers. This means that for Beal to do it again, it would take a serious level of strength and technique from those monitoring him daily.
Beal likely did his research, in addition to being convinced by James Harden, as the Clippers have had the same head athletic trainer, Jasen Powell, since 1999. That is a testament to over two decades of excellence in the medical department of the LA basketball team.
Additionally, Powell is recognized as one of the best through education, holding a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology and Health Promotion from California State Polytechnic University-Pomona.
That said, Beal will have to play his part to stay healthy, such as consuming the correct diet, resting enough before/after games, and prioritizing recovery, but if he does, which the three-time All-Star likely will as it could mean more money, the Clippers will encounter a trouble-free route to winning a championship.
