According to Shams Chanaria, the NBA will investigate Beverley's exchanges with both the Indiana Pacers fan and ESPN reporter Malina Andrews.

Milwaukee Bucks were eliminated 4-2 in the first round of the NBA playoffs after losing Game 6 with a score of 120-98. Toward the end of the game, Beverley threw the basketball to an Indiana Pacers fan, hit an unintended female target, and the ball was sent back to him by the intended male target.

This aggravated the guard and he threw the ball back violently, which caused an altercation between himself and the Pacers fan.

Then on, Beverley was involved in a spat with Malina Andrews in post-game press remarks. The guard told the ESPN reporter that he would not give any comments to her since she does not follow her podcast.

The former Olympiacos Piraeus guard averaged 8.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1 steal per game in the first round of the playoffs.
