Sanctioned by the NBA for a collision with Deandre Ayton during Wednesday’s game against Phoenix, Lakers point guard Patrick Beverley is suspended for three games without pay.
This suspension may seem severe, but in its press release, the NBA explains that this sanction is ” based in part on Beverley’s history of unsportsmanlike acts ».
The American will begin serving his suspension on Friday, when the Lakers travel against the San Antonio Spurs. He can return for Los Angeles’ game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday.
