Patrick Beverley Sued by Fans Over 2024 Playoff Ball-Throwing Incident

Two Pacers fans allege physical and emotional harm after being struck by basketballs thrown by Beverley during a heated playoff game.

Former Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley is being sued by two Indiana Pacers fans for injuries caused during a May 2024 playoff game.
The lawsuit claims Beverley threw a basketball into the stands twice, hitting one fan in the head and another in the chest and face, causing physical and emotional harm.
The plaintiffs are seeking damages for battery, emotional distress, defamation, and invasion of privacy, also naming the Bucks organization as a defendant.
Beverley addressed the incident publicly, expressing regret and acknowledging his actions were inappropriate, though he suggested fan behavior crossed a line.
The NBA suspended Beverley for four games after the incident, and he has since been playing for teams outside the league.
