Bucks' Patrick Beverley: Handed four-game suspension
Rotowire
The NBA announced Thursday that Beverley has been suspended four games "for forcefully throwing a basketball multiple times at spectators and an inappropriate interaction with a reporter during media availability" after Milwaukee's 120-98 loss to Indiana in Game 6 of their first-round playoff series May 2.
The Bucks were eliminated from the playoffs with the Game 6 loss, so Beverley's suspension will go into effect for the first four games of the 2024-25 season. Beverley is an unrestricted free agent going into this offseason, so it is unclear which team he will be on when serving his suspension.

Bucks' Patrick Beverley: Available for Game 6
Rotowire
Beverley (oblique) is available for Thursday's Game 6 against the Pacers.
Beverley continues to deal with an oblique injury, but he'll be able to suit up once again Thursday. He tallied 13 points, 12 assists, four rebounds, two steals and a block in 36 minutes during Tuesday's Game 5, but he'll have additional help in the backcourt Thursday since Damian Lillard (Achilles) has been cleared to return.

Bucks' Patrick Beverley: Probable for Game 6
Rotowire
Beverley (oblique) is probable for Thursday's Game 6 against Indiana.
Beverley is dealing with an oblique injury once again, but he played through the issue in Tuesday's Game 5 and tallied 13 points, 12 assists, four rebounds, two steals and a block in 36 minutes. Damian Lillard (Achilles) is doubtful for Thursday's matchup, so if Beverley is available, he'll likely have plenty of chances to contribute.

Beverley (oblique) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Pacers, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.
Beverley was previously carrying a probable tag, so the Bucks will be relieved to see him power through his minor setback. Beverley will continue to see an expanded role due to Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Damian Lillard (Achilles) being out.

Bucks' Patrick Beverley: Double-doubles in victory
Rotowire
Beverley accumulated 13 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, 12 assists, one block and two steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 115-92 win over Indiana in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Beverley turned back the clock in the victory, racking up his first double-double of the season. With Damian Lillard (Achilles) sidelined, Beverley has stepped into a much larger role than anticipated. If the Bucks are to force a Game 7, he will need to once again be at the height of his powers.

Bucks' Patrick Beverley: Dealing with oblique strain
Rotowire
Beverley is probable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers due to a right oblique strain.
Beverley has scored in double figures only once through the first four matchups of the opening-round series, averaging 7.5 points, 4.0 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.8 steals-plus-blocks in 33.5 minutes per game. The veteran played only 21 minutes during Sunday's Game 4 loss, so he may be limited even if he suits up Tuesday.
Beverley (ankle) will play in Wednesday's game against the Magic.
Beverley was initially labeled probable for Wednesday's tilt with a sprained right ankle, and, as expected, he is good to go. He's fresh off his second double-double of the campaign Tuesday, logging 20 points and 10 rebounds over 26 minutes.

Beverley (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's game against Orlando.
Beverley continues to deal with a right ankle sprain in addition to a wrist issue, but he'll likely be able to suit up once again Wednesday. He returned from a three-game absence Tuesday against the Celtics and moved into the starting lineup, which turned out to be a great move as he finished with 20 points, 10 rebounds and three assists in 26 minutes.

Bucks' Patrick Beverley: Posts double-double in return
Rotowire
Beverley (ankle) ended with 20 points (8-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt), 10 rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 104-91 victory over the Celtics.
Though he had missed each of the Bucks' previous three games with a right ankle sprain and is also dealing with ligament damage in his right wrist, Beverley was thrust into the starting lineup in his return to action Tuesday as head coach Doc Rivers looked to shake up the top unit amid a four-game losing streak. At least for one game, Rivers' decision to insert Beverley on the top unit over Malik Beasley paid dividends. The Bucks lost Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) in the second half, but in unlikely fashion, it was Beverley who stepped up and carried the team on offense, not Damian Lillard or Khris Middleton. Beverley reached the 20-point mark for just the second time this season and also finished with his first double-double of the campaign. Expect him to remain part of the starting five for the foreseeable future.

Bucks' Patrick Beverley: Won't play Wednesday
Rotowire
Beverley (ankle) won't play Wednesday against Memphis.
Beverley sprained his right ankle in the third quarter of Tuesday's loss to the Wizards, and though he didn't return to the contest, he downplayed the injury afterward when speaking to the media. Even if Beverley's injury isn't significant, he won't be able to make it back on the court for the second leg of a back-to-back set. His absence Wednesday could open up more run at point guard for AJ Green.
