NBA suspends Bucks star after incidents

The National Basketball Association moved to suspend Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley on Thursday. The NBA made this decision after Beverley got involved in a hostile encounter with fans and an inappropriate reaction with a reporter after the Bucks’ loss to the Indiana Pacers.

After those incidents, the NBA suspended Beverley for four games.

The league announced Beverley’s suspension in a press release Thursday afternoon.

Marc Spears was among those to report on the suspension.

Granted, a four-game suspension for these incidents feels quite lower than anticipated. The league definitely did not come down hard on Beverley, who dealt with quite a troublesome week after the incident with an ESPN producer.

While it’s true that some could argue that this is a deterrent, it’s not a very strong one. Again, only four games following an incident with a fan and a reporter feels very light. You wonder if the NBA could have come down harder on him, and some out there appeared to have that same sentiment.

Beverley won’t begin his suspension next season since the Bucks are out of the NBA Playoffs. At least he won’t have to worry about being on the pine for very long once the 2024-25 NBA season begins.
