Patrick Beverley discusses throwing ball at Pacers fan

Patrick Beverley admits he crossed a line when he threw a basketball at a fan last week, but the Milwaukee Bucks star claims the fan crossed the line first.

Beverley was caught by television cameras throwing a ball at a fan with just over two minutes left in Milwaukee’s Game 6 loss to the Indiana Pacers, which ended the opening-round playoff series between the two teams. You can see the video here.

Beverley spoke about the incident during the latest episode of his podcast, which was released on Tuesday. He said what he did was wrong and vowed to never let it happen again. However, Beverley said the fan he threw the ball at said a lot more than “Cancun on 3.”

“What I did was bad and that should have never happened. I have to be better and I will be better. Regardless of what was said, that should have never happened,” Beverley said. “Let’s just say it was more than ‘Cancun on 3.’ Let’s just say it was more than that. I’ve been called a lot of stuff in this league. I haven’t been called that one. It’s still inexcusable. It doesn’t matter what was said. I have to be better and I will be better.”
