A former Lakers player won't face criminal charges.
Former Los Angeles Lakers point guard Patrick Beverley will not be facing charges for a sideline incident that took place during this past year's postseason. A Marion County Prosecutor's Office spokesman told Mike Vorkunov and Shams Charania of The Athletic that Beverley wouldn't have charges placed against him.
Beverley got into an altercation with a fan late in a game during the Milwaukee Bucks first-round series with the Indiana Pacers. He threw a basketball at some heckling fans toward the end of Game 6 and the ball hit one of the fans in the head. Beverley may never return to the NBA considering he is 36 years old, but if he ever does come back, the suspension would need to be served. The three-time All-Defensive Team guard has been a controversial player throughout most of his career but the incident with the fans may have been the final straw for his career in the league.
