Bucks’ Patrick Beverley violently throws ball at Pacers fans


The Bucks are out of the NBA playoffs — and Patrick Beverley is seemingly not thrilled about it.

With 2:32 left in the Bucks’ season-ending 120-98 loss to the Pacers in Game 6, Thanasis Antetokounmpo replaced Brook Lopez, and amid the swap in players, Beverley threw a basketball at Pacers fans in the crowd twice, hitting at least one in the head.

As Lopez high-fived his teammates, Beverley was seen throwing the ball for the first time at one fan, hitting them in the side of the head.

He then asked for the ball back from a different fan, and when Beverly got it in his hands, he threw it back at that Indiana supporter.

It’s not clear if anything led to this moment, but it was a bizarre scene in what was a blowout loss for the Bucks to end their first-round series.

It was a particularly frustrating game for Beverley, who finished with just six points on on 3 of 11 shooting, going 0-for-3 from 3-point land in 40 minutes.
