Milwaukee Bucks star Patrick Beverley got into a heated altercation with a fan during the team’s elimination game against the Pacers.
On Thursday night, a frustrated Beverley was caught by TNT’s cameras throwing the ball at a fan talking trash to him. Unfortunately for Beverley, he missed the trash-talking fan and hit a woman in the face with the ball.

Evem Charles Barkley was critical of Beverley’s behavior.
“Listen, I’ve done stupid stuff and I got criticized. That’s just wrong. He’s gonna get suspended for that. And that’s gonna be a good one, too. ‘Cause he didn’t do it once. He did it twice.”
Charles Barkley with harsh words for Patrick Beverley.

Update: Beverley defended his actions on social media by claiming the fans were bothering the team all night and security refused to step in.
Not Fair at all. Exchanged between a fan and our ball club all night. We warned and asked for help all night. Not fair. 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️ https://t.co/e2o0lcqZtg

Pat Bev can probably expect a hefty fine and suspension from the league in a few days.
