Former NBA guard Patrick Beverley arrested on felony assault charge in Texas

Former NBA guard Patrick Beverley found himself in legal trouble on Friday, November 14, after being arrested on a felony assault charge stemming from what Texas authorities reportedly described as a “family violence” incident.

According to police, Beverley was taken into custody early Friday at a residence in Rosharon. His bail was set at $40,000, which the veteran guard posted later the same day, allowing him to be released pending further legal proceedings.

Shortly after news of the arrest surfaced, the 37-year-old addressed the issue on social media, urging his followers to be cautious about online reports. “Please don’t believe everything you see on the internet. Hope all is well,” Beverley wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

He later reposted an unsigned statement providing additional context, stating that he had discovered his younger sister—described as a minor—alone with an 18-year-old man.

“Patrick Beverley has no criminal record. He cares deeply about his little sister – a young lady, a minor. Given that, when he unexpectedly found her alone in the home with an 18-year-old man in the middle of the night, he was understandably concerned, as any brother would be about his sister. However, we don’t believe what followed happened the way it’s been described and we look forward to the opportunity to address that in court,” the statement read.

Beverley began his professional basketball career with Dnipro in Ukraine in 2008 before making the jump to the NBA in January 2013, signing a three-year, $1.97 million deal with the Houston Rockets. Over the next decade, he became one of the league’s most recognizable defensive guards, suiting up for the Los Angeles Clippers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls, Philadelphia 76ers, and Milwaukee Bucks.

He last appeared in the NBA in May 2024 with the Bucks. Though he has not formally announced his retirement, Beverley has recently devoted more time to his media work, including “The Pat Bev Podcast” with co-host Adam Ferrone, part of the Barstool Sports network.
