The NBA suspended free agent guard Patrick Beverley for four games without pay for angrily hurling a basketball into the stands during his team's season-ending loss, officials said Thursday.
As Beverley's Milwaukee Bucks were being eliminated by the host Indiana Pacers in Game 6 of their playoff series last week, he threw a basketball into seats behind the visitors' bench.
The ball appeared to hit a fan in the face, and when it got lobbed back to Beverley, he threw it into the crowd again.
On his "Pat Bev Podcast" on Tuesday, Beverley admitted being at fault.
“Unfortunate situation that should’ve never happened," he said. “What I did was bad, and that should have never happened. I have to be better, and I will be better. That should have never happened, regardless of what was said, simple as that.”
