Beverley was ejected from Saturday's game against the Bucks in the first quarter after being assessed a technical foul, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beverley pushed Serge Ibaka in the back late in the first quarter and was tossed from the matchup as a result. The 33-year-old faced a suspension for a similar incident earlier in the season, but Saturday's scuffle appeared to be less serious. Prior to his departure, Beverley recorded three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), a rebound, a steal and a block in 10 minutes. As long as he doesn't face another suspension, he should be back in action Monday against Dallas.

Beverley provided 18 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 124-104 win over the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Beverley was fantastic in the victory, filling the boxscore in what was a vintage performance. For anyone not familiar with his body of work over the past few years, this is a prime example of why he is worth rostering in all competitive formats. There are obviously some injury concerns when it comes to having him on your roster but if you can deal with unprescribed absences, he could be a bit of a difference-maker down the stretch.

Beverley (ear) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's matchup with the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Before exiting with an ear contusion after playing four minutes in Friday's contest, Beverley was productive in the Timberwolves' 118-110 loss to the Magic, finishing with nine points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3PT) and one steal. Barring a dramatic change in his status leading up to the 8 p.m. ET tipoff, Beverley will likely be sidelined for the third time in five games. Expect D'Angelo Russell to shift over to point guard in Beverley's stead, with Malik Beasley likely to elevate to the top unit at shooting guard as Beverley's replacement in the starting five.

Beverley played four minutes in Friday's 118-110 loss to the Magic before exiting with an ear contusion. He didn't return to the contest, finishing with nine points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt) and one steal.
EDGE Analysis
Beverley was at least able to deliver some counting stats for managers before checking out of the contest, but the early exit was yet another disappointing development for a player who has often struggled to sustain health for an extended period of time. The veteran guard would have been a candidate to sit out the second half of the Wolves' back-to-back set Saturday in Miami for rest purposes, but if his ear isn't bothering him too much leading up to the 8 p.m. ET contest, there's a good chance he's available to play after he wasn't overextended Friday.
