When it comes to trouble, there are certain players that come to mind for each team. In the Los Angeles Lakers surely Patrick Beverley would be on thelist, as well as for theGolden State Warriors would be Draymond Green. That’s possible the reason behind the four-time NBA Champion’s concerned about Beverley’s situation.

As the Lakers have finally are putting their pieces together, the game against the Phoenix Suns didn’tend as expected. No more winning streak, and without Beverley, who had become the moral booster on the basketball court for the Lakers as LeBron James continues to recover from an injury, and Anthony Davis leads the team in points and rebounds.

About the suspension, according to multiple reports, Beverley will have to serve a three-game suspension starting on Friday when the Lakers visit the San Antonio Spurs in a back-to-back game, and one more game before returning to the rotation.
