Beverley finished with 13 points (4-6 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 20 minutes during Monday's 107-98 loss to New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

Beverley was one of only three Timberwolves players to score in double digits, highlighting their offensive struggles. He is playing primarily as a backup guard option and while he is not as versatile as he used to be, he can still have some value in deeper formats for his ability to put up numbers across the board.

Beverley served his one-game suspension Wednesday night against Houston and will be eligible to play in Saturday's game against New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran guard was slapped with a one-game suspension back in July for shoving Chris Paul near the end of the Clippers-Suns Western Conference Finals series. Having served the ban during Wednesday's season opener, Beverley will be eligible to make his Timberwolves debut over the weekend as Minnesota plays the first of two home matchups against New Orleans in three days. Beverley is expected to serve as the Wolves' backup point guard behind D'Angelo Russell.

Beverley (suspension) will not play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Rockets, Dane Moore of BlueWire reports.

EDGE Analysis

The suspension dates back to the end of the 2021 Western Conference Finals, when Beverley -- then a member of the Clippers -- shoved an unsuspecting Chris Paul in the back as the game unraveled and began to slip away from Los Angeles. Beverley will serve the suspension Wednesday and be eligible to make his Timberwolves debut Saturday versus New Orleans.

Beverley (suspension) was traded to the Timberwolves by the Grizzlies on Tuesday in exchange for Jarrett Culver and Juancho Hernangomez, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Less than 48 hours after being shipped to Memphis, Beverley will head north to Minnesota, where he'll provide veteran leadership and defensive ability behind D'Angelo Russell and rookie Anthony Edwards. Fantasy expectations should be relatively low for Beverley, as he's missed significant time due to injury in recent seasons and will likely hold a semi-reduced role for the Timberwolves. In 37 appearances for the Clippers last season, Beverley averaged 7.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks per game (22.5 MPG).

Beverley (suspension) was traded to the Grizzlies on Sunday, along with Rajon Rondo and Daniel Oturu, in exchange for Eric Bledsoe, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The deal is mostly financially motivated for the Clippers, who will shrink their luxury tax bill by roughly $30 million while getting out from under the $14.3 million Beverley is owed next season. While the hard-nosed guard was a staple of some memorable Clippers teams over the last four seasons, he lost considerable time due to injuries in three of those, including appearing in just 37 games in 2020-21. It's possible the veteran could remain in Memphis as a defensive-minded backup to Ja Morant, but Wojnarowski notes that the Grizzlies are open to the possibility of moving Beverley and Rondo elsewhere in separate deals.

Beverley has been given a one-game suspsension to start the 2021-22 NBA season, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beverley's suspension is the result of him pushing Chris Paul down from behind at the end of their Game 6, series-ending loss to the Suns. A suspension was expected given the unnecessary nature of the push, so only missing one game is likely the best case result for the veteran point guard.

Beverley was ejected from Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals against the Suns on Wednesday, Mirjam Swanson of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Frustration boiled over with the Clippers trailing in the fourth quarter, and the 32-year-old was ejected after pushing Chris Paul in the back. Beverley put up 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists, a rebound, a steal and a block in 31 minutes prior to being sent off in what ended up being Los Angeles' final game of the season.

Beverley returned to Tuesday's Game 2 during the fourth quarter, per the ESPN broadcast.

EDGE Analysis

Beverley checked in with a little less than eight minutes to go in the game, wearing a headband over where he suffered a laceration on his forehead.

Beverley went to the locker room after colliding heads with Devin Booker during Tuesday's Game 2 against the Suns, per the ESPN broadcast.

EDGE Analysis

Beverley went for a steal on Booker, and the two collided heads, resulting in both players bleeding and going to the locker room. Beverley should be considered questionable to return. It's possible he'll need stitches.

Beverley will start Tuesday's Game 2 against the Suns, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Ty Lue will bring Beverley and Ivica Zubac into the starting five while sending Nicolas Batum and Terance Mann to the bench. This will mark Beverley's first playoff start this season. Over his past six games, he's averaged 5.2 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 19.3 minutes.
