Clippers guard Patrick Beverley has been given a one-game suspension for shoving Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul during LA’s season-ending loss Wednesday.
Beverley was ejected from the Game 6 loss when he shoved Paul in the back during a timeout in the fourth quarter.
He would tweet an apology to Paul on Thursday, saying that “emotions got the best of me.”
@CP3 emotions got the best of me last night gang. My bad wasn’t meant for you. Congrats on making it to the Finals. Best of Luck ??

Beverley’s suspension, which is without pay, will be served during the first 2021-22 regular-season game that he is eligible to play.
