Patrick Beverley is continuing his international basketball career amid speculation<\/a> he could be considering a return to the NBA.<\/p>\n

Beverley has signed with the French club Boulazac Basket Dordogne, the team announced Friday.<\/p>\n

Beverley spent the last two seasons playing in Israel and Greece. He will now head to France to join the LNB \u00c9lite.<\/p>\n

Beverley started out his pro career playing in Ukraine, Greece and Russia before making his NBA debut with the Houston Rockets during the 2012-13 season.<\/p>\n

He went on to compete in 12 NBA seasons with seven teams including Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls.<\/p>\n

Beverley finished out his NBA career by splitting the 2023-24 campaign between the Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks.<\/p>\n

He was assessed<\/a> a four-game suspension at the end of that season, which he never served in the NBA. <\/p>\n

Beverley left North America having averaged 8.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 steals across 666 regular-season games in the NBA.<\/p>\n

He spent the 2024-25 season with Hapoel Tel Aviv of the Israeli Premier League and EuroLeague, then joined PAOK BC last season for Greek Basketball League and EuroCup competition.<\/p>\n

Beverley most recently played<\/a> 22.4 minutes per game while averaging 7.8 points, five rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals in the Greek Basketball League’s regular season.<\/p>\n

He also averaged 9.3 points, four rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.2 steals through nine EuroCup games as PAOK BC reached the final.<\/p>\n

Boulazac, which does not compete in EuroCup or EuroLeague play, was promoted to the top tier of French basketball last season. The club went 12-18 and ranked 12th during its first season in the 16-team LNB \u00c9lite.<\/p>\n

Beverley is not the first former NBA player to lend his services to the club. Former NBAer Tony Snell starred for the team last season before signing<\/a> with the LNB Pro A’s Cholet Basket this offseason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Patrick Beverley is continuing his international basketball career amid speculation he could be considering a return to the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":855275,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[574],"tags":[64,63,726,85],"class_list":["post-855274","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-basketball","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-basketball","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/855274","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=855274"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/855274\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/855275"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=855274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=855274"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=855274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
