Patrick Beverley Shares Update on His Basketball Future
Free agent guard Patrick Beverley shared an intriguing update on his future in basketball through a social media post on Sunday.
On X, Beverley mentioned that he is “weighing his options” between signing a veteran minimum contract in the NBA and considering a “historic” contract offer to play in Europe.
While it’s unclear what Beverley means by “historic,” it suggests that he may be offered significantly more money to play in Europe compared to the NBA. Whether this will influence his decision remains uncertain. Beverley had indicated that he deserved a raise after playing for the minimum last season, but that doesn’t seem to be happening.

At 36, Beverley remains a valuable rotational player and agitator, despite averaging only 20 minutes per game with the Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks last season. In Europe, he would likely receive more playing time and a higher salary, though he would face less prestigious competition.
If Beverley decides to return to the NBA, he will need to serve a suspension at the start of the next season due to a confrontation with a fan.
