Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley continued his sore loser streak following his team's Game 6 elimination at the hands of the Indiana Pacers on Thursday night.

Beverley's shutdown of ESPN producer Malinda Adams in the locker room follows his heated interaction with a Pacers fan in the waning minutes of the Bucks' 120-98 defeat.
With just under three minutes left in regulation and the game out of hand, an Indiana fan seated behind the Milwaukee bench exchanged words with Beverley. The fan then tossed the ball to the former second-round pick and Beverley chucked it back at the fan.
Beverley addressed the fan interaction on X, formerly known as Twitter, after the game.
Not Fair at all. Exchanged between a fan and our ball club all night. We warned and asked for help all night. Not fair. ❤️ https://t.co/e2o0lcqZtg

Then he posted again on Friday morning, appearing to take ownership of his misdeed. It's not clear, though, whether he was only referencing the ball chuck or his immaturity in the locker room as well.
But I have to be better. And I will ❤️
