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