"Patrick Beverley has no criminal record. He cares deeply about his little sister—a young lady, a minor," Beverley's lawyer Letitia Quinones-Hollins wrote. "Given that, when he unexpectedly found her alone in the home with an 18-year-old man in the middle of the night, he was understandably concerned, as any brother would be about his sister."

"However, we don’t believe what followed happened the way it’s been described and we look forward to the opportunity to address that in court."

Despite the arrest, he is expected to return to his podcasting duties in the Hoopin' N Hollerin’ podcast, where he usually talks about the NBA and other off-court stuff.
