Overview
- Boulazac Basket Dordogne announced on Friday that 38‑year‑old Patrick Beverley has signed to play for the club in the 2026–27 LNB Élite season.
- Beverley is a long‑time professional with a 12‑season NBA résumé and roughly 666 regular‑season NBA games, where he averaged about 8.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists.
- He spent the past two seasons overseas, playing for Hapoel Tel Aviv in 2024–25 and PAOK in 2025–26, and helped PAOK reach a FIBA Europe Cup final while producing mid‑single‑digit scoring and multi‑category contributions.
- Boulazac finished 12th in France’s top division last season and does not play in EuroLeague or EuroCup, so Beverley is expected to provide veteran leadership and on‑ball defensive intensity to a domestic‑focused roster.
- Beverley’s move continues his international career after his NBA exit following a 2024 incident that led to a police probe and a four‑game suspension he never served, and his long‑term retirement plans remain unconfirmed.
