Overview

• Patrick Beverley, former Milwaukee Bucks guard, is being sued by two Indiana Pacers fans for injuries suffered during a playoff game on May 2, 2024.
• The lawsuit alleges Beverley threw a basketball into the stands twice, hitting one fan in the head and another in the chest, causing physical and emotional harm.
• The fans are seeking damages for battery, emotional distress, defamation, and invasion of privacy, claiming Beverley's comments implied they used derogatory language toward him.

• The Milwaukee Bucks and former assistant coach Josh Oppenheimer are also named in the lawsuit, with claims that they contributed to the incident.
