ROSHARON, Texas (AP) — Former NBA guard Patrick Beverley, aged 37, was arrested early Friday on charges of felony assault related to a "family violence" incident. The arrest took place at a residence in Rosharon, Texas, as confirmed by the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office. Following the arrest, Beverley's bail was set at $40,000.

In response to the incident, Beverley took to social media, urging the public not to believe everything they see online. He also shared an unsigned statement, revealing the circumstances surrounding his arrest. According to the statement, Beverley unexpectedly discovered his sister, who is a minor, alone in the company of an 18-year-old man.

The statement elaborated on Beverley’s perspective, noting that he was understandably concerned for his sister's well-being, a sentiment any brother would share. It added that the events that followed were not accurately depicted in the reports circulating, and Beverley’s team expressed their anticipation of addressing the matter in court.

Patrick Beverley has had a notable career in the NBA, playing for various teams over a span of 12 years. Most recently, he played for the Milwaukee Bucks in 2024, before previously spending time with teams such as the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Clippers. His career has been marked by a reputation for tenacity and intensity on the court.

This incident marks a significant moment in Beverley’s post-NBA life, as he navigates the legal implications of the charges against him. The unfolding situation has attracted media attention, particularly given Beverley’s former prominence in professional basketball.

As events continue to develop, the legal proceedings will provide more clarity on the situation. Beverley’s defense team is prepared to contest the allegations made against him, disputing the narrative that has emerged since the arrest.
