Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley will serve a four-game suspension at the beginning of next season for his incidents during and after their season-ending loss last week.
Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley has been suspended four games for his antics during and following their Game 6 loss of the first round of the NBA Playoffs last week. Beverley was sitting on the bench when he stood up and launched a basketball at a female Pacers fan sitting behind the team’s bench, hitting the fan in the head. He appeared to motion to have the ball back, and when it was returned, he again threw the ball at another fan, who was able to deflect it.
Beverley says his pass into the stands was an 'unfortunate situation that should have never happened.' 'What I did was bad, and that should have never happened. I have to be better, and I will be better. And that should have never happened,' Beverley said on his podcast. 'Regardless of what was said, that should have never happened. Simple as that.' Beverley, and the Bucks, also apologized to the reporter.
The Bucks dropped the first-round series to the Indiana Pacers, who now trail the New York Knicks, 2-0, in the second round. Fox News' Paulina Dedaj contributed to this report. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
