Milwaukee Bucks guard Pat Beverley indicated that a video of him throwing a ball at a spectator on Thursday was misleading, but later added that “I have to be better.”
Cameras showed Beverley sitting on the bench throwing a ball into the stands and hitting a fan with about two and a half minutes left in Milwaukee’s 120-98 Game 6 loss to Indiana, knocking the Bucks out of the playoffs were beaten. After another fan threw the ball back to Beverley, who extended his arm for it, the Bucks guard shot it back to that spectator.
Beverley declined to answer a question about the matter while speaking to reporters after the game. But he I responded to an X message who showed the video saying: ‘Not fair at all. Traded all night between a fan and our ball club. We warned all night and asked for help. Not fair.”
Six hours later, Beverly gave up another X post saying, “But I have to be better. And I will.”
Also during his post-game media session, Beverley didn’t allow a particular reporter to ask a question after discovering she hadn’t subscribed to his podcast. He told her to move her microphone away from his face and eventually asked her to leave the interview circle.
