Former Los Angeles Clippers point guard Patrick Beverly has been making a strong push to return to the NBA after spending last season with Hapoel Tel Aviv of the Israeli league. Beverly announced his comeback bid<\/a> on his podcast this spring, and has since received reported interest from at least two NBA teams.<\/p>\n

Beverly continued to tease his return on social media this week, posting a video of a workout highlight reel on both his Instagram and the official @PatBevPod account on X<\/a>. While the comments on Instagram were largely supportive, X was predictably a different story.<\/p>\n

“12 years in the NBA and still approaches the game the same way! REAL WORKER!,” @greenlightmedia replied.<\/p>\n

“I wish y’all really knew how nice bruh is!,” @elimetz commented.<\/p>\n

“Even nba role players are LeBron compared to regular pick up hoopers,” @ttrusttnonee_ wrote. <\/p>\n

Beverly even commented on the post himself, throwing a jab at Brandon Jennings after the two engaged in a very public beef this spring before Jennings backed out of a proposed one-on-one matchup between the two.<\/p>\n

“This is why people duckin me,” Beverly wrote. “Don\u2019t get it twisted \ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25”<\/p>\n

The tone was a bit harsher on X, where Beverly has been known to be a polarizing figure among online fans throughout his career.<\/p>\n

“The league needs Pat Bev back \ud83d\udd25,” NBA Central posted. <\/p>\n

“No it doesn\u2019t,” one fan replied.<\/a><\/p>\n

“Said no one ever \ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude4f,” another wrote.<\/a><\/p>\n

“How much did Pat Bev pay for this?” someone else added.<\/a><\/p>\n

Beverly has earned three All-Defensive team selections in his career, one of which was to the First Team in 2017. A career 37.1% three-point shooter, there could very well be a role out there for a veteran of his skill set.<\/p>\n
