Beal inks deal with Jordan Brand

Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal is the newest member of the Jordan Brand family, the clothing and footwear company announced Friday.

The two-time All-Star spent the first eight seasons of his NBA career with Nike, who owns Jordan Brand.

Beal's teammates Russell Westbrook, Moritz Wagner, and Rui Hachimura also have endorsement deals with Jordan Brand.

"It's a blessing and an honor to be a part of this family," Beal said in a statement. "It's very exclusive. They take care of their athletes very well, and they do a great job of telling their stories. It's a responsibility to represent the brand. I'm looking forward to this opportunity and being part of the family."

Beal was the Association's second-highest scorer last season, averaging a career-high 30.5 points on 45.5% shooting.
