#3 Joel Embiid, January 2019
During the new year’s fixture between the LA Clippers and the Philadelphia 76ers in 2019, Beverley got into a physical scuffle with Joel Embiid. The Philadelphia 76ers led by 13 points with less than more than nine minutes left in the match.
Patrick Beverley was guarding Joel Embiid as he rose to get on the end of an inside pass. However, Beverley stopped him unfairly and then tried to grab on to his t-shirt. The two were involved in a scuffle before being separated by their respective team members. The incident was brought forth by Beverley’s refusal to let go off Embiid’s shirt, who tried to keep him away for some time before charging himself.
#2 Kevin Durant, April 2019
In perhaps the most iconic altercation involving Patrick Beverley, long-term GSW fans will remember him going head to head with Kevin Durant during game 1 of the 2019 NBA Finals. That was a match that saw both players ejected with less than five minutes left in the fourth quarter.
The LA Clippers were against the dominant Golden State Warriors, with Beverley taking up defensive guard on Kevin Durant. The two were involved in multiple back-and-forths and went at it throughout the match. Durant held his cool until the fourth quarter and then taunted Beverley after making a defensive play on him. However, Beverley rushed to charge at Durant and was stopped by the incoming referee, who decided to eject both.
#1 Chris Paul, July 2021
Towards the conclusion of game 6 against the Phoenix Suns, Beverley lost his calm and pushed Chris Paul to the floor with the Phoenix Suns in a comfortable position. The altercation steamrolled, with a bunch of officials and players also getting involved and stopping Paul from responding.
Patrick Beverley later apologized via a tweet and claimed that emotions got the better of him. Chris Paul instead said he had the last laugh as he guided the Phoenix Suns to what would be their third-ever NBA Finals appearance. They will now be fighting for their first ever NBA title.
