Patrick Beverley was reportedly arrested on Friday in Richmond, Texas, facing felony assault charges. According to TMZ, which cited jail records, the longtime NBA defensive ace and Barstool Sports host was booked on third-degree felony charges for allegedly assaulting a family or household member and impeding breath. Beverley subsequently posted bail at the sheriff’s office.
A three-time NBA All-Defensive selection, Beverley last played for the Milwaukee Bucks in 2024 before spending the following season in the Israeli basketball league. Off the court, he launched *The Pat Bev Pod* at Barstool Sports in 2022. The show was rebranded last month as *Hoopin’ N Hollerin’*, now co-hosted by Jason “White Chocolate” Williams.
Beverley has developed a reputation for controversy since entering the media world. He has publicly sparred with colleagues and was even accused of sending a “plant” to an Orlando Magic press conference to gather content. During his final NBA season, he made headlines for giving the cold shoulder to an ESPN producer—an incident that reportedly hindered his budding television career. Despite appearing on *First Take*, *Get Up*, and other major ESPN programs, his relationship with the network never fully recovered after that incident.
During his playing career, Beverley was known for his hard-nosed defense and eccentric trash talk. The guard frequently engaged in physical plays that teetered on the edge of legality, causing injuries to notable players such as Russell Westbrook and Chris Paul. He earned a niche as a reliable stopper for contending teams throughout the years.
As of now, neither Patrick Beverley nor Barstool Sports have issued a comment regarding the reported arrest.
