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.
After the game, Beverley did not delve into the matter when asked about it.
“Nah, don’t worry about that. Nothing,” he told reporters.
Beverley, who also hosts “The Pat Bev Podcast with Rone,” had an exchange with ESPN’s Malinda Adams, saying she could not interview him because she did not subscribe to his show.
“You subscribed to my pod?” he asked.
“Do I subscribe, I do not,” Adams said.
“You can’t interview me then, no disrespect,” Beverley said.
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.
