The Los Angeles Lakers will be without guard Patrick Beverley for their next three games. The NBA suspended Beverley on Thursday after he shoved Deandre Ayton in the back during a game against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday.
In its statement, the NBA said Beverley's "history of unsportsmanlike acts" played a role in the length of the suspension.
The incident occurred with just under four minutes to play in the fourth quarter of a 115-105 Suns win. Suns star Devin Booker fouled Lakers guard Austin Reaves in the paint.
