Beverley agreed Monday with the Clippers on a three-year, $40 million contract, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The defensive-minded combo guard proved to be an excellent fit for the Clippers the past two seasons after coming over from the Rockets in the deal that sent Chris Paul to Houston. After being limited to 11 games in his inaugural campaign in Los Angeles following microfracture surgery, Beverley bounced back to suit up in 78 contests in 2018-19 while averaging 7.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.4 triples (on 39.7 percent shooting) across 27.4 minutes per game. He'll likely start alongside second-year point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in his third season with the Clippers but could see his role scaled back some with Landry Shamet and Lou Williams in the fold.

Beverley finished with 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 14 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal across 41 minutes during the Clippers' 129-110 loss to the Warriors in Game 6 of their Western Conference first-round playoff series Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The series naturally ended in disappointing fashion for the Clippers, but Beverley's play during the final three games was a revelation. The veteran played much bigger than his 6-foot-1 stature, double-doubling over each of the last three games against the Warriors while compiling an impressive 38 rebounds during that stretch. The strong finish was an extension of a late-season surge in production for Beverley, who scored in double digits in five of the final eight contests of the regular campaign. The 30-year-old now heads into unrestricted free agency with some impressive recent film, and his 2019-20 destination remains to be seen.

Beverley supplied 17 points (6-13 FG, 5-11 3Pt), 14 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 37 minutes during the Clippers' 129-121 win over the Warriors in Game 5 of their Western Conference first-round playoff series Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Beverley churned out a second consecutive gritty performance, one in which he posted a second straight double-double for the first time since late January. The veteran has now scored in double digits three times overall during the series and has been a key contributor from three-point range in the last two contests. Beverley has drained half of his 16 attempts from distance during that span, adding a key offensive dimension to his already impressive work on the glass and defense. He'll look to play a pivotal role again in Game 6 on Friday night.

Beverley totaled 12 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, three blocks, and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 113-105 loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Beverley ended with a double-double Sunday, adding three blocks in what was a much-improved effort when compared to his previous outing. That being said, it was not enough as the Clippers fell by eight points, moving to within one loss of a round-one exit. Beverley has certainly left his mark on the series and has proven himself to still have value over the back half of the season.

Beverley amassed just six points, one rebound, and one steal in 18 minutes during Thursday's 132-105 loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Beverley has very little impact Thursday, unable to repeat his performance from Monday. Kevin Durant exploded for 38 points with Beverley struggling to contain him despite the best efforts. Given the outcome, head coach Doc Rivers may look to switch things up Sunday with JaMychal Green potentially coming into the starting lineup to put more size in front of Durant.

Beverley ended with 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, two rebounds, and one steal in 32 minutes during Monday's 135-131 victory over Golden State.
EDGE Analysis
Beverley fouled out midway through the final quarter, but not after playing a key role in what was the largest comeback in NBA playoff history. The Clippers rallied from 31 points down in the third quarter, thanks in part to Beverley's continuing defensive pressure. His efforts were rewarded with Kevin Durant also fouling out, allowing the Clippers to complete the amazing victory. Beverley's role is clear moving forward and although his production will be up and down, he is certainly going to be on the minds of a number of Warriors players.

Beverley compiled 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists, and one steal in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 143-137 victory over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Beverley was back in the lineup Wednesday after missing the three previous games with a hip injury. The fact he was out there puts him in a good spot leading into their round one clash with the Warriors. Beverley has had a strong finish to the season despite falling off ever so slightly over the last couple of weeks. If the Clippers are to have any chance against the Warriors, Beverley is going to have to be at his tenacious best.

Updating a previous report, Beverley (hip) will be available for the Clippers' regular season finale against the Jazz, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beverley missed the previous three games with a hip injury, but the Clippers will treat Wednesday's game as a playoff tuneup, so both Beverley and Danilo Gallinari (ankle) will be available. As such, the Clippers will likely re-shuffle the starting lineup, which could mean Lou Williams moving back to the bench after making a spot start Sunday against Golden State.

Beverley (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Warriors, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will be Beverley's third straight absence due to a hip injury, and the Clippers don't seem too eager to bring him back before the start of the postseason. Garrett Temple is expected to get his third straight start in Beverley's absence Sunday.
