Beverley has a torn ligament in his wrist, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports.
The Rockets already announced that Beverley will miss at least 7-to-10 days while the team discusses treatment options, and it now appears the rest of his season could be in jeopardy if the tear is severe enough. At this point, it's too early to rule him in or out beyond the 7-to-10 day window, so look for an update from the team next week.

Beverley is scheduled to visit with specialists regarding his wrist injury and a decision won't be made for 7-to-10 days on possible treatment options, the Houston Chronicle's Jonathan Feigen reports.
This essentially rules out Beverley for about two weeks at least, meaning the best-case scenario is that he will return to the Rockets for the final week of the regular season. This means the Rockets will be using Pablo Prigioni and Jason Terry a lot while Beverley is out, and there will also probably be some lineups where James Harden plays point guard and someone like Corey Brewer is the shooting guard.

Beverley (wrist) "might be out while," the Houston Chronicle reports. Coach Kevin McHale continued, "We will find out the news on Pat, but the initial thought was that it might be bad. Hopefully it will be good news."
Beverley sprained his left wrist Monday at Indiana and subsequently returned to Houston rather than travel to New Orleans, where the Rockets take the floor Wednesday. The point guard, who is dealing with bursitis in his right elbow as well, will be examined Tuesday, with a prognosis likely to emerge in short order. Until the extent of his wrist issue is revealed, though, Beverley's availability will be up in the air. If he requires time away from the court, Jason Terry and Pablo Prigioni would cover point guard for the Rockets.

Beverley (wrist) flew back to Houston to be evaluated Tuesday, Jenny Dial Creech of the Houston Chronicle reports.
While this isn't a good sign for Beverley's chances to play in Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, it's still entirely possible he could make it to New Orleans for the contest. If not, Jason Terry and Pablo Prigioni will likely see added minutes, with James Harden taking on even more of the ball-handling workload. Beverley suffered the injury during the third quarter of Monday's win over the Pacers, and he did not return to the contest. He has also been bothered by an elbow issue for the past few games.

Beverley has a sprained left wrist and will not return to Monday's game against the Pacers.
Beverley played just under 20 minutes before suffering the wrist injury, finishing with eight points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), one rebound, a steal and two blocked shots. Look for his status to be updated following the game, as it's unclear how severe the injury is.

Beverley (elbow) will attempt to play Monday at Indiana, the Houston Chronicle reports.
Beverley has entered each of the last three games with questionable availability, yet he's still taken the court. During that stretch, he averaged 10.7 points (on 44 percent shooting), six assists, 2.3 rebounds, two three-pointers, and one steal in 34 minutes.

Beverley (elbow) is questionable for Monday's game at Indiana.
He played through the elbow discomfort in Saturday's game, so if he were to be held out Monday it would probably be simply a cautious way to give him some rest down the stretch. Beverley should be considered a game-time decision, and if he does not play Monday, Jason Terry and Pablo Prigioni figure to see most of the work at point guard.

Beverley (elbow) posted 10 points, three rebounds, four assists, and two steals in 29 minutes of action Saturday against the Suns.
Beverley has been dealing with various injuries throughout the season, but managed to log 29 minutes of action Saturday. He's been a rather shaky option lately, averaging just 10.4 points, 2.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.6 threes over the last five games. While he's worth a roster spot in standard leagues, he's certainly not a must-own player by any means.

Beverley (elbow) is playing Saturday against the Suns, the Houston Chronicle reports.
In the Rockets' past two contests, Beverley has played through an elbow injury, averaging 11 points (on 42 percent shooting), seven assists, two rebounds, and two three-pointers in 36 minutes. Expect much of the same in what should be a high-paced game Saturday.

Beverley (elbow) is questionable for Saturday's game against Phoenix, Houston Chronicle writer Jenny Dial Creech reports.
Beverley played through the injury the last two games, so there's at least slight reason to be optimistic about his chances of playing Saturday. Jason Terry would be the most obvious candidate for more minutes if Beverley somewhat surprisingly sits out.
