5:15 PM PT — Patrick Beverleyhas spoken out since news broke of his arrest, saying via social media … “Please don’t believe everything you see on the internet. Hope all is well LUV.”
Letitia Quinones-Hollins, attorney for Patrick, tells TMZ in a statement … “Patrick Beverley has no criminal record. He cares deeply about his little sister – a young lady, a minor. Given that, when he unexpectedly found her alone in the home with an 18-year-old man in the middle of the night, he was understandably concerned, as any brother would be about his sister. However, we don’t believe what followed happened the way it’s been described and we look forward to the opportunity to address that in court.”
Ex-NBA player Patrick Beverly has been arrested in Texas for felony assault, TMZ Sports has learned.
The 6’2″ point guard was taken into custody on Friday at the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office in Richmond, Texas.
According to jail records, the charge against Beverley is Assault on a Family Member/Household Member Impeding Breath or Circulation. It’s listed as a third-degree felony.
His bail was set at $40,000, which he posted. He’s expected to be released later in the day.
Beverly — and second-round draft pick — is a well-known hooper who played for the Rockets, Clippers, Timberwolves, Lakers, Bulls, 76ers, and, most recently, the Bucks.
He also played pro ball overseas, racking up accolades along the way — including the UBL Slam Dunk Contest title, the 2011 Russian Cup championship, and the 2012 EuroCup MVP.
Most recently, he suited up for the Hapoel Tel Aviv Basketball Club.
Beverley has since taken his talents to the microphone … and even found himself in hot water for a conversation he had with Jason Williams about Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson.
