Clippers guard Patrick Beverley has been fined $25K by the NBA for “verbal abuse of a game official,” the league announced today in a press release.
The incident occurred near the end of the Clippers’ Game 2 loss to Denver on Saturday. Beverley was hit with a pair of technical fouls and ejected from the game after he took exception to back-to-back personal foul calls against him. The veteran guard continued to shout at James Capers following his ejection.
Beverley, who missed most of the Clippers’ seeding games and first-round series against Dallas due to a nagging calf strain, has returned to action against Denver.
He played well in a limited role last Thursday, chipping in eight points, six rebounds, and a pair of three-pointers in just 12 minutes. However, he struggled to make an impact on Saturday, scoring just two points in 15 minutes as he racked up five fouls.
Did this guy ever mature after Jr High?
How long is being an A-hole going to stay fashionable for this clown moving forward-
I feel he’s almost over the fulcrum at this point
Thank you. That man makes the Morris twins look like nice and innocent players. He can’t even qualified as hard-nosed players, he’s just a full-time d¡ckhead really.
Now if they would just start fining players for punching their opponents in the groin. OKC did it 3 times in round one and then AD did it last night.
Wear a cup.
