The league announced the suspension and said Beverley was punished for “forcefully throwing a basketball multiple times at spectators and an inappropriate interaction with a reporter.'
MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley was suspended by the NBA on Thursday for four games without pay to begin next season for his actions during and after the final game of an Eastern Conference first-round playoff series with the Indiana Pacers.
Beverley threw a ball at fans in the closing minutes of Milwaukee’s 120-98 Game 6 loss at Indiana that knocked the Bucks out of the playoffs. Cameras showed him sitting on the bench and tossing a ball into the stands, hitting a fan in the head with about 2 ½ minutes left. After a different fan threw the ball back to Beverley, who was holding his arm out for it, the Bucks guard fired it back at that spectator.
Beverley added the atmosphere in Indiana “was great” aside from “a handful of fans” who crossed the line. The next day, Adams said on X that she had received apologies from both the Bucks and from Beverley himself.
