Lakers guard Patrick Beverley has been suspended for three games by the NBA for his forceful shove of Suns star Deandre Ayton on Tuesday night.
The play came with 3:55 to play in the Lakers’ 115-105 loss to the Phoenix at Footprint Center. Beverley took offense to the way Ayton and Suns guard Devin Booker reacted after Booker fouled Lakers guard Austin Reaves. With Ayton standing over Reaves, Beverley sprinted up and shoved Ayton to the ground from behind.
Beverley was issued a technical foul and ejected from the game.
