Two women continued Patrick Beverley, saying that they were injured after former Milwaukee Bucks goalkeeper issued a basketball to their face since almost the white chain.
During the defeat of his team’s qualifiers against the Indiana Pacers who ended their season, Beverley was sitting on the bench when he got up and launched a basketball with a fan of the pacers sitting behind the team’s bench, hitting the fan directly in the head.
He seemed to move to recover the ball, and when he was returned, he again launched the ball on another fan, who was able to divert him.

The coaches and other players entered the fray and tried to defuse the situation, but Beverley seemed to continue to exchange words with the fans seated behind him.
Women claim that they always experience medical expenses, mental anxiety, humiliation and lost wages of the incident during which they both say they are subjected to immediate injuries.
Less than a week later, Beverley showed a regret, saying it was an “unhappy situation that should never have happened”.
“What I did was bad, and it should never have happened. I must be better, and I would be better. And that should never have happened,” said Beverley On his podcast. “No matter what was said, it should never have happened. Simple too.”
The first reports indicate that he came after a fan said “Cancun out of three”, but Beverley said it was “more than that” and was called a name that is apparently NSFW.

“I was called a lot in this league, I was not called this one,” he said. “Always inexcusable. No matter what has been said. I have to be better, and I will be better.”
Beverley said security came to see him earlier in the game and asked him if he wanted some fans to be ejected, but he refused, saying he didn’t even want the fans to be expelled for a simple conference.
“I do not receive fully expelled fans. People who spend money to watch us play. I don’t get expelled,” said Beverley.
However, this certain fan “crossed the line”.

“We online lay-up. I’m on the bench with the ball. Fan to the right of me, say something crazy. I get up,” hey, guy, you can huer me but don’t call me. “I’m going to shake (pacers coach) Rick Carlisle’s hand, the fan tells me something crazy,” recalls Beverley. “I look like,” guy, you can say everything, don’t be disrespectful. “He also apologized.
