Lakers guard Patrick Beverley has been suspended three games without pay by the NBA after shoving Suns center Deandre Ayton to the floor on Tuesday.
Anthony Davis scored 37 points and added 21 rebounds as the Lakers’ three-game winning streak was snapped in the 115-105 loss to the Phoenix Suns.“It shouldn’t have happened, first and foremost,” Beverley said. “But I’m a big fan of protecting my teammate. Especially teammates that I go to war with every night. So, I kind of felt like the play kind of got out of control after the stare-down at Austin Reaves by Book and then another stare-down by Ayton.
“Obviously, it’s unfortunate that it happened on national TV, but you know me, regardless of what’s going on, I’m a big fan of protecting my teammates. … I’m a foxhole guy. I put on the jersey and I commit to a team, I commit to a city and it’s kind of my motto. I’m a foxhole guy. Very unfortunate situation, though.”
It was obvious that the NBA took into consideration a situation between Beverley and Chris Paul. When Beverley was playing for the Clippers and they advanced to the 2021 Western Conference finals against Phoenix, Beverley pushed Paul in the back. Beverley was suspended for one game without pay for “an unsportsmanlike act,” according to the NBA.
In 14 games as a starter for the Lakers this season, Beverley is averaging 4.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists, and he was shooting 26.6% from the field and 23.8% from three-point range.
