Windhorst: Kawhi, Clippers embraced rivalry with Lakers

Patrick Beverly has apparently been fined $25K for trying to be a nice dude.

It’s not exactly that simple, but Beverly’s heart seemed to be in the right place over a pretty innocent-looking play. As time expired in the Clippers opener against the Lakers, Beverly chucked the ball deep into the stands at the Staples Center. The eight-year vet claimed he was tossing it to two fans in the crowd, but the league clearly didn’t see it that way.

Fans were so great tried to give them the GAME BALL!! SORRY #ClipperNation https://t.co/lnWynDecsz

Poor, poor Patty. To make matters worse… he even received a DM from the fans who caught the ball. It pays to be a nice dude sometimes!!!!

It’s ok. I won’t change❗️❗️❗️ https://t.co/g3eGnrmj12 pic.twitter.com/3HI4D9zkoT

It’s pretty wild to think Baker Mayfield was fined half the price for talking smack about NFL officials. A fine’s a fine, but at least Bev can keep his head up after this one. The 31-year-old is set to make $12,345,680 this season.
